Media Controller

Tizen enables you to communicate between the media controller server and the media controller client.

This feature is supported in mobile applications only.

The main features of the Media Controller API include:

• Media controller server

  The media controller server provides current information about the registered application that you can send to the client.

  To transfer the information at the client request, the media controller server updates the state information while the application is active. If application is terminated when the client request arrives, the media controller server transfers the latest information.

• Media controller client

  You can request information, and the media controller client can receive it from the media controller server through a callback.

  The following tables define the various information the client can receive.
