Windows Embedded Automotive 7 Deep Dive: Phone Core and Media Core 64
• Browsing by categories on iPod devices is not supported when the selection order is
lower to higher (for example, album, artist, and genre). There is no workaround for this.
• Other types of devices have a file/folder hierarchy model. Therefore, you must wait until
indexing is complete before calling browse API commands. If you issue a browse
command before the connected device is indexed, the media player will generate an
error message.
• If a user removes a CD or the power/ignition is cycled, the CD will begin playing at the
first track, regardless of where it was. To work around this issue, save the track number
and position in the track across ignition cycles. When the CD begins playing again, play
the specific track by using the function MediaNowPlayingPlayEx.
