Remarks

A SAMI file can contain text for one or many languages. The languages available for closed captioning are defined between the <STYLE> and </STYLE> tags in the SAMI file. A language identifier is specified by a unique alphanumeric string that is preceded by a period (.). The name specified for a language can be any string. For example, the following could be used to define US English:

.ENUSCC {Name:'English Captions' lang: en-US; SAMIType:CC;}

If no SAMI language is specified, the first language defined in the SAMI file is used by default.

The value you specify using put_SAMILang must match the Name attribute in the language specifier.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method always retrieves a BSTR containing an empty string.
