bool OpenSource

UMediaSource * MediaSource
)

Remarks

Open the specified media source.

A return value of true indicates that the player will attempt to open the media, but it may fail to do so later for other reasons, i.e. if a connection to the media server timed out. Use the OnMediaOpened and OnMediaOpenFailed delegates to detect if and when the media is ready!

Returns

true if the source will be opened, false otherwise.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
MediaSource	The media source to open.
