title attribute

The title attribute specifies a content title for a media element or collection of media elements. The title attribute value is included in the content description list that is sent to the client. Windows Media Player displays the value when the media element or elements are played. Values specified for the title attribute must be text strings.

In the following example, a title attribute value is specified for the source file, IntroFile1.wma.

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil>
   <media id="intro" src="introfile1.wma">
      <clientData title="Windows Media Services Introductory Video"/>
   </media>
</smil>

The title attribute can be specified for the following playlist element:

• clientData element

Notes

• If the client is running Windows Media Player for Windows XP and earlier, the clientData element information will be ignored. The clientData element is supported by Windows Media Player 9 Series.
• For more information about defining playlist attributes, see the Windows Media Services Software Development Kit (SDK) at the Microsoft Web site.
• If you are creating or editing server-side playlists by using either a text editor or an automated script, ensure that the title attribute tags are in the correct case. XML is a case-sensitive language, and Windows Media Services will not recognize playlist attributes that are not listed properly.
