IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection Interface

  • Article

The IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection interface manages distribution connections. Distribution connections are used to stream content between servers. For example, a cache server, acting as a client, can connect to a Windows Media server and distribute content to players or to other servers.

In addition to the methods inherited from IDispatch, the IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection interface exposes the following methods.

Method

Description

get_ID

Retrieves a unique value identifying a client that is receiving the distributed content.

get_NetworkAddress

Retrieves the network address of the client receiving the distributed content.

get_Port

Retrieves the port number of the client receiving the distributed content.

get_RequestedPlaylist

Retrieves the client's playlist object.

get_RequestedURL

Retrieves the URL that the client used to request a distribution connection.

get_ResolvedURL

Retrieves the URL of the content being streamed to the distribution connection.

get_Status

Retrieves the status of the client.

get_UserName

Retrieves the authenticated name of the client.

get_WrapperPlaylist

Retrieves the client's wrapper playlist object.

Example

The following example illustrates how to retrieve a pointer to an IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection interface.

#include <windows.h>
#include <atlbase.h>    // Includes CComVariant.
#include "wmsserver.h"

// Declare variables and interfaces.
IWMSServer                          *pServer;
IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnections *pConnections;
IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection  *pConnection;

HRESULT         hr;
CComVariant     varIndex;
long            lCount;

// Initialize the COM library and retrieve a pointer
// to an IWMSServer interface.
hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WMSServer,
                      NULL,
                      CLSCTX_ALL,
                      IID_IWMSServer,
                      (void **)&pServer);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve a pointer to a collection of distribution
// connections and retrieve the total count of connections.
hr = pServer->get_OutgoingDistributionConnections(&pConnections);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;
hr = pConnections->get_Count(&lCount);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve information about each distribution connection.
for (long x = 0; x < lCount; x++)
{
    varIndex = x;
    hr = pConnections->get_Item(varIndex, &pConnection);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Release temporary COM objects.
    pConnection->Release();
}

EXIT:
    // TODO: Release temporary COM objects and uninitialize COM.
