SYMPTOMS
When you browse inside a Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 session, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 sends media status notifications. For example, these notifications include MSPROPTAG_FS_HOME, MSPROPTAG_Volume, and MSPROPTAG_FS_Music.

After you install Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2, the MSPROPTAG_FS_Extensibility notification is not sent when you select the Online Spotlight program or you run any other hosted HTML applications. However, the MSPROPTAG_FS_Extensibility notification is sent in versions of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 that have not had Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2 applied.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the notification feature has been removed in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
To view the media status notifications, you can use the Media State Aggregation Service (MSAS) FileWriter sample program that is included in the Media Center SDK.
