Classes (Media Streaming API)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Streaming API, 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 It has been superseded by Media Casting.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 Windows Media Streaming API, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The Media Streaming API provides the following classes.

In this section

Topic	Description
ActiveBasicDevice	Implements the IActiveBasicDevice interface that represents an active Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) device.
BasicDevice	Implements the IBasicDevice interface that represents a DLNA device.
CreateMediaRendererOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by CreateMediaRendererAsync or CreateMediaRendererFromBasicDeviceAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
DeviceController	Implements the IDeviceController interface that retrieves a list of cached Digital Media Renderers (DMRs) and/or Digital Media Servers (DMSs), or to asynchronously find the DMRs and/or DMSs that are currently on the network.
DevicePair	Implements the IDevicePair interface that represents a pair of ActiveBasicDevice objects which is comprised of a renderer and a server.
GetMuteOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by GetMuteAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
GetPositionInformationOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by GetPositionInformationAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
GetStreamPropertiesOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by GetStreamPropertiesAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
GetTransportInformationOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by GetTransportInformationAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
GetVolumeOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by GetVolumeAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
MediaRenderer	Implements the IMediaRenderer interface that represents a DLNA Digital Media Renderer (DMR) device.
PlaybackOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when an asynchronous operation started by one of the MediaRenderer playback methods completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
StreamSelectOperation	Registers an event handler that is invoked when the asynchronous operation started by GetMuteAsync completes, and provides a method that returns the results of the operation.
StreamSelector	Implements the IStreamSelectorStatics interface and enables selecting a stream.
