   String^ get(); 
}

Property Value

Valid values are as follows:

Type	String
Video	MEDIATYPE_Video
Autio	MEDIATYPE_Audio
Script	MEDIATYPE_Text

Remarks

Gets a CLSID string that indicates the major type of the multimedia in the stream. For a complete list of supported formats, see Format Types, Media Types and Media Subtypes. Please note that while the Formats, Media Types and Media Subtypes lists numerous media types, currently only the MediaType_Video, MediaType_Audio, and MediaType_Text are used here.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
 
public void StreamTypeExample()

   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // reference the profile if available 
      WMProfile CurrentProfile = capturectrl.WMProfile; 
 
      // if we have a profile display the info 
      if (CurrentProfile != null) 
         MessageBox.Show(GetStreamInfo(CurrentProfile), "Stream Info", MessageBoxButtons.OK); 
      _result = true; 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   } 
} 
 
// discovering streams  
private string GetStreamInfo(WMProfile Profile)

   for (int i = 0; i < Profile.StreamCount - 1; i++)

      streamInfo += "[[ Stream " + (i + 1).ToString() + " ]]"; 
 
      // get the major type of the stream 
      streamInfo += "\n type: " + streamConfig.StreamType;

      // get Bitrate 
      streamInfo += "\n bitrate: " + streamConfig.Bitrate.ToString(); 
 
      // get the maximum latency (time in milliseconds) between stream reception and display 
      streamInfo += "\n buffer window: " + streamConfig.BufferWindow.ToString(); 
 
      // get the major type of the media in the stream 
      streamInfo += "\n majortype: " + streamConfig.Type; 
 
      // get the maximum key frame time interval (in 100-nano seconds)  
      streamInfo += "\n max keyframe spacing: " + streamConfig.MaxKeyFrameSpacing.ToString(); 
 
      // get the Quality, range from 0 to 100 
      // where zero denotes maximum frame rate and 100 denotes maximum quality.  
      streamInfo += "\n stream quality: "; 
 
      if (streamConfig.Quality > -1) 
         streamInfo += streamConfig.Quality.ToString(); 
      else 
         streamInfo += "(unknown)"; 
   }
