Remarks

Interface for media player factories.

Media player factories are used to create instances of media player implementations. Most media players will be implemented inside plug-ins, which will register their factories on startup. The Media module will use the CanPlayUrl() method on this interface to determine which media player to instantiate for a given media source.
