How can I read the status of playing an internet stream (WindowsMedia) ?

In Microsoft mediaplayer there is an event "PlayStateChange" this is what I need, to get status on BASS if it:  plays,buffer,is stopped, no connection.

Any ideas? I code in C#

Take a look to the BASS .NET C# sample called "NetRadio" that displays 'buffers', stream tags etc. - should be all you need?!

I have tested "NetRadio" example (works fine) but I only get buffering info. The tags only work on mp3 stream like shoutcast. I get no info when connecting to a WMA stream.


I have no need for tag info (like artis, title) I only need streaming status, so I can reconnect if I loose the stream from the WMA encoder/server.

Thanks!

But the you can simply use BASS_ChannelIsActive ?!

You can also use a STALL sync (BASS_ChannelSetSync) to be notified when playback stalls/resumes, and an END sync will tell when it's ended.

Thanks! I will try that.

It works!

Both methodes works fine.

Now another question. Can I get info about the WMA stream? I like to get the "K Bit/s" value.
