[SOLVED] What does the MMS stand for/mean in DirectX MMS?

Patrick · Nov 8, 2013

I cannot seem to find it in any books nor Google searches. Does anyone have any idea?

Is it this?

Software that provides special memory management services for an application, especially for high performance, debugging, or to add garbage collection. Typically a library or part of a language run-time.

I think it may be a .DLL for DirectX, I'm not completely sure.

Actually, I believe that library is a relic from support for Microsoft's Media Streaming services. A lot of the formats and protocols are still in use (and are still accessible) using the MMS APIs in DirectX, and this library is still used when streaming media data through DirectX from an application, as part of the DirectShow components of DirectX. Question - why do you ask?

Thanks.

No specific reason, just would have liked to know what it stood for for knowledge related purposes : )
