STARTMARKER Element

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 STARTMARKER element specifies a marker from which Windows Media Player will start rendering the stream.

<STARTMARKER
   NUMBER = "marker number"
   NAME = "marker name"
/>

Attributes

NUMBER

The number of a numeric marker in the index. The default value is the beginning of on-demand content or the current position in a real-time stream.

NAME

The name of a named marker in the index. The default value is the beginning of on-demand content or the current position in a real-time stream.

Parent/Child Elements

Hierarchy Elements
Parent elements ENTRY, REF
Child elements None

Remarks

This element specifies the marker from which Windows Media Player is to start rendering the stream defined in the parent ENTRY or REF element.

Note

Use this element with either the NUMBER or NAME attribute, but not both.

A STARTMARKER element defined within a REF element takes precedence over a STARTMARKER element defined within the REF element's parent ENTRY element. A STARTMARKER element also takes precedence over a STARTTIME element.

If the marker specified by a STARTMARKER element occurs later in the stream than the marker defined by an ENDMARKER element, no content plays, but no error is generated.

Examples

<STARTMARKER NUMBER="14" />
<STARTMARKER NAME="Marker_StartHere" />
