IWMSPlayer.Status (Visual Basic .NET)

The Status property retrieves the status of the player.

WMS_CLIENT_STATUS = IWMSPlayer.Status

Property Value

A member of a WMS_CLIENT_STATUS enumeration type that indicates the status of the player. This must be one of the following values.

Value	Description
WMS_CLIENT_DISCONNECTED	The player has been disconnected.
WMS_CLIENT_IDLE	The player is connected to the server but no content is being streamed.
WMS_CLIENT_OPEN	The player is connected to the server and a resource has been opened to stream. Players that send a pause or stop command will also have this status.
WMS_CLIENT_STREAMING	The player is connected to the server and that content is being streamed.
