IWMSCPPluginAdmin.Port (C#)

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

Syntax

  IWMSCPPluginAdmin
  .Port = int;
int = IWMSCPPluginAdmin.Port;

Property Value

int 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

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

// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IWMSPlugin Plugin;
IWMSCPPluginAdmin CPAdmin;

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

    // Retrieve the plug-in to be configured.
    Plugin = Server.ControlProtocols[
                        "WMS RTSP Server Control Protocol"];

    // Retrieve the custom interface of the plug-in.
    CPAdmin =
        (IWMSCPPluginAdmin)Plugin.CustomInterface;

    // Bind the plug-in to a specific port.
    CPAdmin.Port = 31667;
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
