MediaRenderer class

[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 It has been superseded by Media Casting.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.]

Implements the IMediaRenderer interface that represents a DLNA Digital Media Renderer (DMR) device.

MediaRenderer has these types of members:

Methods

The MediaRenderer class has these methods.

Method	Description
add_RenderingParametersUpdate	Registers an event handler for the RenderingParametersUpdate event.
add_TransportParametersUpdate	Registers an event handler for the TransportParametersUpdate event.
GetMuteAsync	Queries the DMR asynchronously to determine if audio is currently muted or unmuted.
GetPositionInformationAsync	Queries the DMR asynchronously to retrieve position information.
GetTransportInformationAsync	Queries the DMR asynchronously to retrieve transport information.
GetVolumeAsync	Queries the DMR asynchronously for its current audio volume level.
PauseAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to pause playing the current content.
PlayAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to play the content that was specified by calling the SetSourceFromUriAsync, SetSourceFromStreamAsync, or SetSourceFromMediaSourceAsync method.
PlayAtSpeedAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to play the content that was specified by calling the SetSourceFromUriAsync, SetSourceFromStreamAsync, or SetSourceFromMediaSourceAsync method at the specified rate.
remove_RenderingParametersUpdate	Unregisters an event handler for the RenderingParametersUpdate event.
remove_TransportParametersUpdate	Unregisters an event handler for the TransportParametersUpdate event.
SeekAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to seek to a particular time offset.
SetMuteAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to either mute or unmute the audio.
SetNextSourceFromMediaSourceAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to prepare the specified content for playing once the current content has finished playing.
SetNextSourceFromStreamAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to prepare the specified media stream for playing once the current content has finished playing.
SetNextSourceFromUriAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to prepare the content identified by the specified URI for playing once the current content has finished playing.
SetSourceFromMediaSourceAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to prepare the specified content for playing.
SetSourceFromStreamAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to prepare the specified media stream for playing once the current content has finished playing.
SetSourceFromUriAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to prepare the content identified by the specified URI for playing.
SetVolumeAsync	Sets the audio volume level on the DMR asynchronously to the specified value.
StopAsync	Instructs the DMR asynchronously to stop playing the current content.

Properties

The MediaRenderer class has these properties.

Property	Access type	Description
ActionInformation	Read-only	Gets information about which methods can currently be invoked on the DMR.
IsAudioSupported	Read-only	Gets a value that indicates whether the DMR is capable of playing audio content.
IsImageSupported	Read-only	Gets a value that indicates whether the DMR is capable of displaying images.
IsVideoSupported	Read-only	Gets a value that indicates whether the DMR is capable of playing video content.
