IWindowsMediaLibrarySharingServices::setAuthorizationState method (wmlss.h)

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Library Sharing Services, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Media Casting. Media Casting has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Media Casting instead of #FEATURENAMENOLINK#, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
