Windows Media Library Sharing Services

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Library Sharing Services, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Media Casting. Media Casting has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Media Casting instead of Windows Media Library Sharing Services, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Purpose

Windows Media Library Sharing Services (WMLSS) provides interfaces that enable applications to discover media devices on the home network and to configure the sharing of media libraries on the home network and the Internet.

Developer audience

WMLSS is intended for application and component developers who are familiar with C++ and COM or who are familiar with using managed code to interoperate with a COM object.

Run-time requirements

WMLSS requires Windows 7.
