Network.bufferingCount

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 bufferingCount property retrieves the number of times buffering occurred during clip playback.

Syntax

player.network.bufferingCount

Possible Values

This property is a read-only Number (long).

Remarks

Each time playback is stopped and restarted, this property is set to zero. It is not reset if playback is paused.

Buffering only applies to streaming content. This property returns valid information only during run time when the Player.URL property is set.

Examples

The following JScript example uses Network.bufferingCount to display the number of times buffering occurs during playback. The information is displayed in an HTML DIV created with ID = "CB". The Player object was created with ID = "Player".

<!-- Create an event handler. -->
<SCRIPT FOR = Player EVENT = buffering(Start)>
   if (true == Start) 
      CB.innerHTML = "Buffering count: " + Player.network.bufferingCount;
</SCRIPT>
