IWMSActiveMedia.Live (C#)
The Live property retrieves a Boolean value that indicates whether the media element originates from a live source.
Syntax
bool = IWMSActiveMedia.Live;
Property Value
A bool that indicates whether the media element is live.
Remarks
This property is read-only. Windows Media Player for Windows XP and later client versions return this property correctly; however older client versions always report content as being live.
Example Code
using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IWMSActiveMedia ActiveMedia;
IWMSPlayers Players;
IWMSPlayer Player;
IWMSPlaylist Playlist;
try {
// Create a new WMSServer object.
Server = new WMSServerClass();
// Retrieve an IWMSPlayers object.
Players = Server.Players;
// If players are connected, retrieve first IWMSPlayer object
// in the IWMSPlayers collection.
if (Server.Players.Count > 0)
{
Player = Server.Players[0];
// Retrieve the IWMSPlaylist object for the player.
// NOTE: A valid playlist file is not always returned.
// This may be the case, for example, if the user requested
// a specific content file or if a broadcast publishing point
// is being used.
Playlist = Player.RequestedPlaylist;
if (Playlist != null)
{
// Retrieve the IWMSActiveMedia object.
ActiveMedia = Playlist.CurrentMediaInformation;
// Retrieve a Boolean value indicating whether
// the stream is live.
if (ActiveMedia.Live == true)
{
// TODO: Handle any live stream specific tasks here.
}
}
}
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
// TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
