Metadata Area Plug-ins (deprecated)

This page documents a feature that may be unavailable in future versions of Windows Media Player and the Windows Media Player SDK.

Metadata area UI plug-ins are shown in the metadata area of the Now Playing pane to the right of the main visual area and the Tools pane, and below the playlist view (if it is enabled). Only one metadata area plug-in can be enabled at a time.

Metadata area plug-ins are useful for displaying concise information about the currently playing media item, simple controls, or hyperlinks to additional information.
