IContentDirectory::BrowseMetadata (Windows CE 5.0)
This method returns DIDL-Lite XML that contains the metadata for the specified object.
virtual DWORD BrowseMetadata( LPCWSTR pszObjectID, LPCWSTR pszFilter, wstring* pstrResult, unsigned long* pUpdateID) = 0;
Parameters
- pszObjectID
[in] ID of the object being browsed. The root object in the ContentDirectory service data store has an ID of 0. Corresponds to the A_ARG_TYPE_ObjectID state variable. - pszFilter
[in] Filter string that specifies the metadata properties to be returned in the pstrResult parameter. Corresponds to the A_ARG_TYPE_Filter state variable. For more information about the syntax of strings passed in this parameter, see the documentation referenced in UPnP AV DCP Documentation. - pstrResult
[in, out] Pointer to a string that, upon return, contains DIDL-Lite XML that represents the requested data. Corresponds to the A_ARG_TYPE_Result state variable. - pUpdateID
[in, out] ContainerUpdateID of the container, if the pszObjectID parameter refers to a container. Corresponds to the A_ARG_TYPE_UpdateID state variable.
Return Values
Custom implementations can return appropriate error codes. Should return SUCCESS_AV if the method succeeds. Otherwise, should return an error code defined in WinError.h or UPnP.h, or one of the UPnP AV-specific return values specified in UPnPAVError, especially the following errors documented for this action in the ContentDirectory DCP documentation:
- ERROR_AV_UPNP_ACTION_FAILED
- ERROR_AV_UPNP_CD_NO_SUCH_OBJECT
Remarks
This method corresponds to the ContentDirectory service's Browse action with the BrowseFlag parameter set to BrowseMetadata. The IContentDirectory::BrowseChildren method enables browsing child objects.
To use the information returned in pstrResult, use the DIDL-Lite functionality provided by the parser class. The parser::GetFirstObject method accepts a DIDL-Lite string, like that returned in pstrResult, to enable iteration over all DIDL-Lite objects represented by the passed XML.
For more information about the actions, and the syntax expected by actions, in the ContentDirectory service, see UPnP AV DCP Documentation.
