CanScan Property

Returns a Boolean value specifying whether or not the current file supports scanning.

Syntax

MediaPlayer.CanScan

Remarks

If True, the current file can be scanned (fast forwarded or fast reverse), provided that the AllowScan property is also set to True.

This property returns False if FileName is not set, or the Open method has not been called.

VOD and ASF both support scanning; however, ASF content can be scanned only if the following conditions are all true:

• The file is indexed.
• The file is playing from a NetShow unicast server (not playing locally).
• The file is not being broadcast.
