I assume that the last two mean that it is indexed.

The distinction between these items is made in the SDK on MSDN :

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa390934.aspx

They do correspond closely with a file being indexed yep.


Looking at the other posts , they seem to confirm that there is a problem
from v10 onwards, but don't help with a fix.

Summary of my experience is .. Processes and files that worked well in WMP9
(and still work with that version) don't work with WMP 10 or 11.

Feels like a bug has been introduced in the WMP10 roll-out and not corrected
in WMP11.

I have changed my software to recognise that the seek may be to a keyframe
ahead of the time I want, but this change slows down the editting process.

If it is indeed a bug can you tell me how I get this into the microsoft
change system?


Well, there's paid support. I think it's $35 per incident. However if
I remember from the T&C's, that's refundable if a bug is discovered
which isn't addressed by one of the support.microsoft.com fixes

If you have MSDN universal, I believe you have some support incidents
in the package with that - worth a check.
