About the Network Object
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 Network object governs the properties that allow you to determine how well the content is streaming through the network. For example, you can find out whether packets are being lost and take appropriate action. The Network object is accessed only through the network property of the Player object. The network property returns the Network object. You can only access the properties of the Network object after you have created it. For example, to use the Bandwidth property, you must use the following code:
mybandwidth = player.network.bandwidth;
