Opens a Stream object.
Syntax
NSChannelMgr.Streams.Open( StreamSource, Alias, PeerAccess )
Parameters
StreamSource
A String value specifying the name of the stream source to be opened.
Alias
A String value specifying the alias for a name of the stream source to be opened. This can be an .asf file distributed via the mms: or http: protocols, or a stream from an encoder distributed via the msdb: protocol.
PeerAccess
The peer access of the stream. The values may be combined.
Value | Mnemonic | Description |
1 | MCM_PA_READ | Read |
2 | MCM_PA_WRITE | Write |
4 | MCM_PA_DELETE | Delete |
7 | MCM_PA_ALL_ACCESS | All |
Example
NSChannelMgr.Connect "LocalHost"
MCM.Channels.Open( "MyStation", MCM_PA_ALL_ACCESS )
Dim MyStream
' open stream "Welcome" with read access
Set MyStream = MCM.Streams.Open ("mms://nsserver/welcome.asf", _
"Welcome", MCM_PA_READ)
MyStation.SetActiveStream Welcome
Return Values

Remarks
The peer access determines what permissions other administrative clients have. For example, opening a stream with delete access allows other clients to delete the stream.
You must open a stream by using the Set statement.
