Kinect Body Tracking GetAndRefreshBodyData returns error

Trying to get a body tracked by Kinect V2 using C++ but its not working as its supposed to, Also the Microsoft's documentation on C++ API for kinect V2 is exceptionally poor

relevant code snippet:

HRESULT result;

if (BodyFrameReader != nullptr)
{
    result = BodyFrameReader->AcquireLatestFrame(&BodyFrame);
    if (result == S_OK)
    {
        IBody** bodies =nullptr;

            result = BodyFrame->GetAndRefreshBodyData(BODY_COUNT, bodies);


        if (result == S_OK)
            Print("Success");
        else
            Print("Fail "+result );

        BodyFrame->Release();
    }
}

So the first result on reading the frame using AcquireLatestFrame returns S_OK however trying to get info for any tracked body using GetAndRefreshBodyData always returns an error code in the variable result which is some very large negative number (-ve MAXINT_32) .

Apart from this another thing I've noticed is in some docs it hints as if GetAndRefreshBodyData needs an array of IBody as a parameter now IBody is an interface and it can't be instantiated so how are you supposed to do that.

Is there some additional setup needs to be done apart from Kinect->Open() to get to body tracking?

You're right, Microsoft's documentation is pretty bad. But the SDK comes with quite a few sample projects, which are always a good starting point. For your case, take a look at the BodyBasics C++ sample. There you'll find code like the following:

IBody* ppBodies[BODY_COUNT] = {0}; // BODY_COUNT is 6
hr = pBodyFrame->GetAndRefreshBodyData(_countof(ppBodies), ppBodies);
