This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.

This topic documents a feature of the Windows Media Device Manager SDK. We recommend that you migrate your application to use the Windows Portable Devices API. For more information, see the Windows Portable Devices SDK.

The IMDSPDevice interface provides an instance-based association with a media device. Using this interface, the client can get a storage media enumerator for the device, get information about the device, and send opaque (pass-through) commands to the device. IMDServiceProvider2 extends IMDSPDevice by providing methods for getting video formats, getting Plug and Play (PnP) device names, enabling the use of property pages, and making it possible to get a pointer to a storage medium from its name. This interface is optional for the service provider but is recommended.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IMDSPDevice interface exposes the following methods.

Method Description
EnumStorage Enumerates the top-level storage medium on the device. This method is mandatory.
GetDeviceIcon Retrieves a HICON value that represents the icon that the device service provider indicates must be used to represent this device.
GetFormatSupport Enumerates the formats supported by the device. This method is mandatory.
GetManufacturer Retrieves the name of the manufacturer of the device.
GetName Retrieves the name of the device.
GetPowerSource Reports whether the device is capable of running on batteries, external power, or both, and on which type of power source it is currently running.
GetSerialNumber Retrieves the serial number that uniquely identifies the device. This method is mandatory.
GetStatus Retrieves the device status information. This method is mandatory.
GetType Retrieves device type information. This method is mandatory.
GetVersion Retrieves the version number of the device.
SendOpaqueCommand Sends a command to a device through Windows Media Device Manager. Windows Media Device Manager transmits the command without acting on it.
