IWMPFolderMonitorServices interface (wmp.h)
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 IWMPFolderMonitorServices interface is deprecated.
The IWMPFolderMonitorServices interface provides methods to enumerate, scan, and modify file folders that Windows Media Player monitors for digital media content.
To use this interface, you must create a remoted instance of the Windows Media Player 11 control. For more information about remoting, see Remoting the Windows Media Player Control.
