For further details about Internet streams support see the How to play Internet streams section.

Syntax

[Visual Basic]

control.SetInternetBufferLength (

nBufferlengthInMs as Long

)

[C++]

void control.SetInternetBufferLength (

long nBufferlengthInMs

);

Parameter

Description

nBufferlengthInMs

Number representing the length of the buffer expressed in milliseconds.

By default the buffer is set to 5000 (5 seconds); increasing this buffer decreases the chance of the stream going in stall but, due to the fact that more data has to be pre-buffered, also increases the time taken to prepare the Internet stream for playback.

Return value

None
