public static IList<MediaSource> GetAvailableMediaSources ()

Return Value

The available media sources.

Remarks

Gets the available media sources with which a media library can be constructed. On Windows Phone and Windows, this method will always return a single media source: the local device.

Example

The following example demonstrates how the GetAvailableMediaSources method gets and displays the current media sources.

GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);
Vector2 pos = Vector2.Zero;
SpriteFont font = Content.Load<SpriteFont>("Font");

spriteBatch.Begin();
spriteBatch.DrawString(font, "media source(s):", pos, Color.White);

ICollection<MediaSource> mediaSources = 
    MediaSource.GetAvailableMediaSources();
foreach (MediaSource source in mediaSources)
{
    pos.Y += font.LineSpacing;
    spriteBatch.DrawString(font, source.Name, pos, Color.White);
}

spriteBatch.End();
