IWMSCPPluginAdmin::put_Port

The put_PortNumber method specifies the port number used by the protocol.

Syntax

  
    
  
  lPort

Parameters

lPort

[in] long containing the port number. This must be greater than zero and less than 65,536.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Return code Number Description
E_INVALIDARG 0x80070057 The lPort parameter is less than zero or greater than 65,536.

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.

  • Notes   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.
