Windows Media Player object c# - playout buffer value

Question

I would like to see the current playout buffer value while streaming a video on a network over a wireless link,

I couldn't find any software that does this so i have decided to write a small app that can show me the current buffer size.

I have put a windows media player object in a form which plays a video from a URL that I specify, Is there any way to display the current buffer size s the video is played out?

Thanks

You can access the bufferingProgress property with this code:

int progressPercent = axWindowsMediaPlayer1.network.bufferingProgress;

Does this give me a percentage as i keep receiving a value of 100? – Z Holt Feb 14 '13 at 22:40
Yes, it's the percentage, check out the documentation, I updated the answer – Fiacc Feb 14 '13 at 22:49
Thanks for the link! Do you know of a way to get the actual size of the buffer being used? – Z Holt Feb 14 '13 at 23:03
