IWMSCPPluginAdmin.Port (Visual Basic .NET)

The Port property specifies and retrieves the port number used by the protocol.

Syntax

  IWMSCPPluginAdmin
  .Port = Integer
Integer = IWMSCPPluginAdmin.Port

Property Value

Integer containing the port number.

Remarks

If you are behind a firewall, you must explicitly open an appropriate port for each protocol you want to use. The following table identifies the incoming ports you must open for each protocol.

• Note   Windows Media Player 9 Series and later does not use the MMS protocol.
• The MMS protocol is not supported in Windows Server 2008 operating systems.

Protocol	Port
MMST	TCP port 1755
MMSU	UDP port 1755
RTSPT	TCP port 554
RTSPU	UDP port 5005
HTTP	TCP port 80

You must also open the outgoing UDP ports 1024-5000 to send data to Windows Media Player and other clients.

Example Code

Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Private Sub SetPort()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim Plugin As IWMSPlugin
    Dim CPAdmin As IWMSCPPluginAdmin

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = New WMSServer()

    ' Retrieve the plug-in to be configured.
    Plugin = Server.ControlProtocols.Item("WMS RTSP Server Control Protocol")

    ' Retrieve the custom interface of the plug-in.
    CPAdmin = Plugin.CustomInterface

    ' Bind the plug-in to a specific port.
