Network.setProxyPort method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 setProxyPort method specifies the proxy port to use.

Syntax

Network.setProxyPort(
  protocol,
  port
)

Parameters

protocol [in]

String specifying the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.

port [in]

Number (long) specifying the proxy port to use.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

This method has no effect unless getProxySettings returns a value of 2 (use manual settings).

This method fails unless the calling application is running on the local computer or intranet.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method is not supported.

Examples

The following JScript example uses Network.setProxyPort to specify the Windows Media Player proxy port number for the MMS protocol. The port number is retrieved from an HTML INPUT element with ID = "PORT". The Player object was created with ID = "Player".

// Test whether proxy settings are manual.
if (Player.network.getProxySettings("MMS") == 2){

   // Store the port number specified by the user.
   var portnumber = PORT.value;

   // Set the port number for the MMS protocol.
   Player.network.setProxyPort("MMS", portnumber);
}

else

// Warn that proxy settings must be set to 2.
alert("Proxy settings must be manual!");
