IWMPNetwork::bitRate property
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 bitRate property gets the current bit rate being received.
Syntax
public System.Int32 bitRate {get; set;}
Public ReadOnly Property bitRate As System.Int32
Property value
A System.Int32 that is the bit rate.
Remarks
The value of this property is a combination of the bit rates of both video and audio streams.
Examples
The following example uses bitRate to display the current media bit rate. The information is displayed in a label in response to the PlayStateChange Event. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.
// Add a delegate for the PlayStateChange event.
player.PlayStateChange += new AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEventHandler(player_PlayStateChange);
// Create an event handler for the PlayStateChange event.
private void player_PlayStateChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent e)
{
// Display the bitRate when the player is playing.
switch (e.newState)
{
case 3: // Play State = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying = 3
if (player.network.bitRate != 0)
{
bitRateLabel.Text = "Current Bit Rate: " + player.network.bitRate + " K bits/second";
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
' Create an event handler for the PlayStateChange event.
Public Sub player_PlayStateChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent) Handles player.PlayStateChange
' Display the bitRate when the player is playing.
Select Case e.newState
Case 3 ' Play State = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying = 3
If (player.network.bitRate <> 0) Then
bitRateLabel.Text = "Current Bit Rate: " + player.network.bitRate + " K bits/second"
End If
End Select
End Sub
