STARTMARKER Element

  • Article

Specifies a marker from which the Microsoft® Windows Media™ Player control will start rendering the stream.

<STARTMARKER
   NUMBER="marker number"
   NAME="marker name"
/>

Parameters

  • NUMBER
    The number of a numeric marker in the index. The default value is the beginning of the content if on-demand, or the current position in the stream if real-time.
  • NAME
    The name of a named marker in the index. The default value is the beginning of the content if on-demand, or the current position in the stream if real-time.

Parent/Child Information

Parent elements ENTRY, REF
Child elements None

Remarks

This element specifies the marker from which the WMP control is to start rendering the stream defined in the parent ENTRY or REF element.

Note: This element should have a value for either the NUMBER or NAME parameter, but not both.

A STARTMARKER element defined within a REF element takes precedence over a STARTMARKER element defined within the REF element's parent ENTRY element. A STARTMARKER element also takes precedence over a STARTTIME element.

If the marker specified by a STARTMARKER element occurs later in the stream than the marker defined by an ENDMARKER element, no content plays, but no error is generated.

Example

<STARTMARKER NUMBER="14" />
<STARTMARKER NAME="Marker_StartHere" />
