I'm using BASS_WMA_EncodeOpenPublish to stream data tothe Windows Media Server, this part works fine.
The question is: how to detect if connection was closed so program will perform reconnect? Is there a function like BASS_Encode_SetNotify exist for WMA encoders I don't know about?

[fmcoder]

It seems like I found a solution (sort of)
If calling to BASS_WMA_EncodeWrite fails, the program decides that connection is dead. Not sure if it's a correct solution, but it's better than nothing.

There isn't currently a BASSWMA equaivalent of BASSenc's BASS_Encode_SetNotify function (there is a BASS_WMA_EncodeSetNotify but that's just for client connection notifications), but you can indeed use the BASS_WMA_EncodeWrite return value to detect problems. If that fails, you could try reinitializing the WMA encoder, eg. calling BASS_WMA_EncodeOpenPublish again.

Hmm... the BASS_Encode_SetNotify function is not working with the encoders created via BASS_WMA_EncodeOpenPublish The error code is 37, which is "The encoder was not created with BASS_WMA_EncodeOpenNetwork".

I wanted to use it to count listeners, but it didn't work out...

Yep, unfortunately it isn't possible to know about clients connecting to a publishing point on a Windows Media server. You can only get client notifications on a local server (setup via BASS_WMA_EncodeOpenNetwork/Multi).
