Set the media library name

To use a class in the Windows Server Solutions SDK to set the name of the media library, set the name of the media library, by using the SetMediaLibraryName method of the MediaStreamingManager class in the Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.MediaStreaming namespace. The following example shows how to set the name of the media library:

MediaStreamingManager mediaStreamingManager = new MediaStreamingManager();
string mediaLibraryName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("B"); 
mediaStreamingManager.SetMediaLibraryName(mediaLibraryName);

For more information, see Windows Server Solutions SDK.

Programmatically enable or disable media streaming

To use a class in the Windows Server Solutions SDK to programmatically enable or disable media streaming, use the SetMediaStreamingEnabled method of the MediaStreamingManager class in the Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.MediaStreaming namespace. The following code example shows how to enable media streaming:

MediaStreamingManager mediaStreamingManager = new MediaStreamingManager();
mediaStreamingManager.SetMediaStreamingEnabled(true);

The following code example shows how to disable media streaming:

MediaStreamingManager mediaStreamingManager = new MediaStreamingManager();
mediaStreamingManager.SetMediaStreamingEnabled(false);
