When trying to get a new frame, how to detect if frames drops happen?

Applying something like:
rs2::frameset frames = pipeline.wait_for_frames();
I need to detect if frames drops happen during this.

@MartyG-RealSense thank you for the information.

That source code help me.

I am wondering, is there any way to get information about if incomplete frame is received?

[MartyG-RealSense]

There is an SDK instruction called RS2_NOTIFICATION_CATEGORY_FRAME_CORRUPTED.

Example scripting for accessing this instruction to detect incomplete frames is suggested here:
