How do I get a list of installed codecs?

I am developing a software that helps to identify the problems of customers who watch TV by quitting the Internet. I need to know what codecs they have. How can I get a list of client codecs?

There is sample code in C ++ on MSDN . It shouldn't be too hard to convert to C #.

Here is some sample code from someone who did it and tested it on Windows XP here .



Follow-up: The MSDN sample code has moved here and now plays audio and video codecs separately.

Not a direct answer, but a workaround: install the required codecs, whether they have them or not (i.e. K-lite ). This will fix any missing, damaged, or outdated codecs. The basic package (which is not really basic) is only 5MB, which is a chicken feed for someone with the bandwidth required for IP-TV.
