For more information about the Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX control, see the Windows Media Player 9 Series SDK.

This property retrieves a value representing the URL of the station metafile.

Syntax

MediaPlayer.ChannelURL

Possible Values

This property is a read-only String.

Remarks

This property is not supported in Netscape Navigator when the Windows Media Player control is embedded in a Web page.

This property only pertains to Windows Media content being received from a station (defined IP address and port number). Station information is stored in a Microsoft Windows Media Station (.nsc) file. The station URL is the Uniform Resource Locator to the .nsc file. The station URL follows the syntax of typical URLs, except that it can also include the version number, which is separated from the rest of a URL with a # (pound sign). For example, a station URL might be:

https://example.microsoft.com/myfile.nsc\#54

where 54 is the version desired. If the version of the .nsc file is on the local computer, a new .nsc file is not downloaded.

Requirements

Version: Windows Media Player version 6.4.

Library: Use msdxm.ocx.

Platform: Windows 98 Second Edition or higher.
