AlternateSourceURL Attribute
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 AlternateSourceURL attribute is a uniform resource locator for the media item that serves as an alternative to the DLNASourceURI and SourceURL attributes.

Remarks
This attribute is not available for media items in the current user's local library. It is available only for media items that belong to a remote library; that is, a library that has been made available by another user on the home network. To determine whether a media library is remote, call IWMPLibrary::get_type.
