IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.SharedPlaylist (C#)

The SharedPlaylist property retrieves an IWMSPlaylist object for the broadcast publishing point.

Syntax

  IWMSPlaylist = IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.SharedPlaylist;

Property Value

An IWMSPlaylist object.

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Number Description
0xC00D145AL The publishing point has already been removed.

Remarks

This property is read-only. You must call IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.Start before calling the SharedPlaylist property. The broadcast publishing point path (returned by the IWMSPublishingPoint.Path property) must point to a playlist file.

Example Code

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

// Declare variables.
WMSServer                       Server;
IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint    BCPubPoint;
IWMSPlaylist                    Playlist;
IWMSPublishingPoints            PubPoints;
IWMSPublishingPoint             PubPoint;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
    PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints;

    // Retrieve each publishing point and retrieve the
    // IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint object.
    for (int i = 0; i < PubPoints.Count; i++)
    {
        PubPoint = PubPoints[i];

        if (PubPoint.Type == 
            WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE.WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_BROADCAST)
        {
            BCPubPoint = (IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint)PubPoint;

            // Retrieve the current status of the publishing point.
            // The status is reported as the result of a bitwise OR
            // of any of the designated values.
            WMS_BROADCAST_PUBLISHING_POINT_STATUS ppsStatus;
            ppsStatus = BCPubPoint.BroadcastStatus;

            // If the publishing point is currently stopped, start
            // it and retrieve the shared playlist file.
            if (ppsStatus == WMS_BROADCAST_PUBLISHING_POINT_STATUS.WMS_BROADCAST_PUBLISHING_POINT_STOPPED)
            {
                BCPubPoint.Start();
                Playlist = BCPubPoint.SharedPlaylist;
            }
            break;
        }
    }
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
    // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
