Byte-based Data Containers

The WMS File Data Source plug-in is an example of a data source plug-in that uses byte-based data containers to read content. A byte-based data container accesses content directly and passes it to a media parser. A byte-based data container must implement the IWMSDataContainer interface. The IWMSDirectory interface can optionally be implemented to allow for wildcard access to directories. For sample code implementations of the required interfaces, see Custom Plug-in Interfaces (C++). A sample data source plug-in can also be found where you installed the Windows Media Services SDK, by default \WMSDK\WMServices9\Samples\DataSource folder. The sample implements a byte-based data container that reads files stored on NTFS or FAT file systems.
