Why are
some of the playback controls unavailable on the Player?
Windows Media Player 9 Series or later or a player that uses the
Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX control can use the
fast-forward, rewind, pause, and skip controls when rendering
streaming media content. However, these features are not available
in all streaming situations. The following conditions must be met
for users to use all of the playback controls when receiving a
stream:
Users must be using Windows Media Player 9 Series. The
ability to fast-forward, skip, rewind, and pause content within a
playlist is only supported by Windows Media Player 9 Series or a
player that uses the Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX
control.
Content must be streamed from an on-demand publishing
point. The fast-forward, skip, rewind, and pause controls are
not available to clients when content is streamed from a broadcast
publishing point.
Content cannot be live. The fast-forward, skip, rewind,
and pause controls are not available to clients when content is
streamed live from an encoder or a remote publishing point.
Content must be indexed. The ability to fast-forward,
skip, rewind, and pause content is not available to clients if the
content has not been indexed. Indexing can be performed during the
encoding process or as a separate process after the content has
been encoded.
The noSkip attribute must set to False. The ability to
fast-forward, skip, rewind, and pause content is not available when
the player is rendering content for which the noSkip
attribute has been set to True.
