Parameters

NUMBER

The number of a numeric marker in the index. The default value is the beginning of the content if on-demand, or the current position in the stream if real-time.

NAME

The name of a named marker in the index. The default value is the beginning of the content if on-demand, or the current position in the stream if real-time.

Parent/Child Information

Parent elements	ENTRY, REF
Child elements	None

Remarks

This element specifies the marker from which the WMP control is to start rendering the stream defined in the parent ENTRYor REFelement.

Note:This element should have a value for either the NUMBERor NAMEparameter, but not both.

A STARTMARKER element defined within a REF element takes precedence over a STARTMARKER element defined within the REF element's parent ENTRY element. A STARTMARKER element also takes precedence over a STARTTIMEelement.

If the marker specified by a STARTMARKER element occurs later in the stream than the marker defined by an ENDMARKERelement, no content plays, but no error is generated.

Example

<STARTMARKER NUMBER="14" /> <STARTMARKER
NAME="Marker_StartHere" />
