Code sample - Network streaming using WMV format (external profile)

Delphi and C# (ActiveX) sample code.

You can broadcast video via the network using the Windows Media Video format. And you can simultaneously capture video to a file.

You should specify the WMV profile with the video encoder settings, the maximum number of clients and the port.

VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_Enabled := true;
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_WMV_Profile_FileName := edNetworkStreamingWMVProfile.Text;
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_Maximum_Clients := StrToInt(edMaximumClients.Text);
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_Network_Port := StrToInt(edNetworkPort.Text);
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_Enabled = true;
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_WMV_Profile_FileName = edNetworkStreamingWMVProfile.Text;
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_Maximum_Clients = Convert.ToInt32(edMaximumClients.Text);
VideoCapture1.Network_Streaming_Network_Port = Convert.ToUInt32(edNetworkPort.Text);

The Network_Streaming_URL property contains the URL you can use to connect to be able to watch the video via the network using Windows Media Player or another application supporting this feature.
