WMT_WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_HEADER structure (wmsdkidl.h)

[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 It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer.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 WMT_WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_HEADER structure is used as a variable-sized header for each Web stream sample.

Syntax

typedef struct _WMT_WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_HEADER {
  WORD  cbLength;
  WORD  wPart;
  WORD  cTotalParts;
  WORD  wSampleType;
  WCHAR wszURL[1];
} WMT_WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_HEADER;

Members

cbLength

WORD containing the size of wszURL in wide characters.

wPart

WORD containing the zero-based part number to which the sample applies. When the last part is received, wPart equals cTotalParts– 1.

cTotalParts

WORD containing the total number of parts in the Web stream.

wSampleType

WORD containing the type of Web stream, either WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_TYPE_FILE (0x1) or WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_TYPE_RENDER (0x2). See Remarks.

wszURL[1]

Wide-character null-terminated string specifying the local URL.

Remarks

In a Web stream, each sample begins with this structure. The application is responsible for determining the size of the structure for each sample delivered. The size depends on the length of the wszURL member, as reported in the cbLength member.

If wSampleType is WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_TYPE_FILE, the sample contains data immediately following the header that should be cached for later rendering. If the type is WEBSTREAM_SAMPLE_TYPE_RENDER, the sample contains no data. The application should cause the file named in the wszURL member to be immediately rendered on the display.
