author attribute

The author attribute specifies a content creator name for a single media element or collection of media elements. If a value is specified for the author attribute, the value is included in the content description list sent to the client. Windows Media Player displays the value when the media element or elements are played. Values specified for the author attribute must be text strings.

In the following example, the author attribute value Karen Berge is specified for the source file, IntroFile1.wma:

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil>
   <media id="intro" src="IntroFile1.wma">
	<clientData author="Karen Berge"/>
   </media>
</smil>

The author attribute can be specified for the following playlist element:

• clientData element

Notes

• If the user is running Windows Media Player for Windows XP and earlier, the clientData element information will be ignored. The clientData element is supported by Windows Media Player 9 Series or later.
• For more information about defining playlist attributes, see the Windows Media Services Software Development Kit (SDK) at the Microsoft Web site.
• If you are creating or editing server-side playlists by using either a text editor or an automated script, ensure that the author attribute tags are in the correct case. XML is a case-sensitive language, and Windows Media Services will not recognize playlist attributes that are not listed properly.
