Remarks

This element is the fundamental construct in an ASX file. The ENTRY element and its associated attributes define meta-information for a single, logical piece of content, called a clip. Child elements within the scope of an ENTRY element define media content for the Windows Media Player control to open (REF), information about the clip that the Windows Media Player will display as text (AUTHOR, COPYRIGHT, TITLE), and other settings related to the clip.

If the value of the CLIENTSKIP attribute is NO, the user cannot skip forward past the piece of content defined by the ENTRY element.

The SKIPIFREF attribute pertains only to ENTRY elements that are included in a second ASX file through the use of an ENTRYREF element. The ENTRYREF element references another ASX file for logical inclusion in the current file. If the value of the SKIPIFREF attribute for an ENTRY element from the referenced ASX file is YES, the Windows Media Player ignores this pulled-in entry, and moves on to the next ENTRY element, if any. The next ENTRY element can be the next entry in the original file, or the next entry in the ASX file referenced in the ENTRYREF element.
