WM/WMShadowFileSourceFileType (Windows Media Player SDK)

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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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

The WM/WMShadowFileSourceFileType is the file type of the file contained in the shadow file.

Remarks

A shadow file can be a wrapper for a source file. This attribute is a string that contains the file name extension (without the dot delimiter) for the source file. For example, if the source file is an AAC file, this attribute contains the string "aac".

The shadow file is specified by using the ShadowFilePath attribute.
