WriteScriptStream Method

Summary

Adds a stream-based script to be executed at a particular time during playback.

Syntax

C++

public void WriteScriptStream( 
   string ScriptType, 
   string ScriptCommand, 
   double ScriptTime 
)

Public Sub WriteScriptStream( _ 
   ByVal ScriptType As String, _ 
   ByVal ScriptCommand As String, _ 
   ByVal ScriptTime As Double _ 
)

public: 
void WriteScriptStream(  
   String^ ScriptType, 
   String^ ScriptCommand, 
   double ScriptTime 
)

Parameters

ScriptType
The name of the script command.

ScriptCommand
The script command.

ScriptTime
Time (in seconds) when the script command should execute.

Remarks

Header scripts are added when you know how many scripts you have and their location beforehand. Also, since they are stored in the header, they will need to be all downloaded before playback begins. Stream scripts are added when you don't know how many you will have or when there are too many and you don't want to slow down the start of the playback. For example, if you have a live capture and there are certain notifications that you will receive during the capture, you would use stream scripts.

Stream scripts can be processed using the MediaEventHandler event handler for PlayCtrl. Stream script commands generate EC_OLE_EVENT event codes. See Processing Windows Media Script Commands for an example of how Stream Scripts are processed.

See the Microsoft documentation, Using Script Commands Supported by Windows Media Player, for a complete list of script commands supported by Windows Media Player.
