Sending ASF Data Over a Network
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The Windows Media Format SDK supports two different ways send ASF data over a network:
- The application can broadcast the ASF data using HTTP protocol.
- The application can push the ASF data to a publishing point on a Windows Media server. The server then distributes the data.
The following topics describe these features:
