IWMSPublishingPointLimits::put_PlayerCacheDeliveryRate

The put_PlayerCacheDeliveryRate method specifies the maximum content-delivery rate that a player can request.

Syntax

  HRESULT put_PlayerCacheDeliveryRate(
  
  long
  
  Val
  
  );

Parameters

Val

[in] Pointer to a long containing the maximum permitted rate at which a player can request that content be delivered to its cache. A value of 1,000 means normal speed. A value of 1,500 means 1.5 times normal speed.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Return code Number Description
E_INVALIDARG 0x80070057 Indicates that newVal is an invalid argument.

Remarks

This value determines how much faster than the encoded bit rate the server is allowed to stream content to a player's cache for opportunistic streaming. Opportunistic streaming allows a player to cache additional data whenever the bandwidth of the connection exceeds the encoded bit rate of the on-demand content. This allows the player to minimize the effects of temporary reductions in network throughput. The default value is 5000, meaning content can be delivered at 5 times the encoded bit rate.

Example Code

Requirements

Header: wmsserver.h.
