AudioChannels Property

Summary

Gets the number of audio channels for the current stream in the current source media file.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public int AudioChannels { get; }

public: 
property int AudioChannels { 
   int get(); 
}

Property Value

A value representing the number of audio channels for the current stream.

Remarks

Gets the number of audio channels for the current stream in the current source media file. This property is updated automatically when the CurrentStream property is set to the current stream, if the current stream is an audio stream. This property will not be updated if the current stream is not an audio stream. The current source media file, found in the SourceFile property, is the file that the MediaInfo object gets information for. The SourceFile property must be set before retrieving information from any of the other MediaInfo properties. The current stream is set using the CurrentStream property.
