WM/ProviderStyle
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The WM/ProviderStyle attribute contains the style of the file as assigned by the metadata content provider.
Global Constant
g_wszWMProviderStyle
Data Type
WMT_TYPE_STRING
Remarks
This attribute is essentially a second genre designation. Because different classifiers have different notions of the genres associated with content, the provider style may be different than the genre assigned by the content creator.
