IWMSServer.ControlProtocols (C#)

The ControlProtocols property retrieves an IWMSPlugins object containing a collection of control protocol plug-ins that can be used to interpret and respond to client requests.

Syntax

  IWMSPlugins = IWMSServer.ControlProtocols;

Property Value

An IWMSPlugins object containing the collection of control protocol plug-ins.

Remarks

This property is read-only. Plug-ins included with Windows Media Services support the RTSP, HTTP, and MMS protocols.

The following system plug-ins can be accessed by using the ControlProtocols property.

Plug-in Description
WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol Enables a Windows Media server to communicate with clients by using the HTTP protocol.
WMS MMS Server Control Protocol Enables a Windows Media server to communicate with clients by using the MMS protocol.
WMS RTSP Server Control Protocol Enables a Windows Media server to communicate with clients by using the RTSP protocol.

In Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the MMS protocol is not supported, and Windows Media Services does not provide an MMS Server Control Protocol plug-in.

    // Retrieve a pointer to an IWMSPlugins interface
    // containing control protocol plug-ins.
