JScript Windows Media Player API

Question

in Internet Explorer 8 & 9 I am using this API to control embedded videos in HTML with JavaScript (JScript) (e.g. play, stop, jump to position, ...):

Now I want to make sure the browser compatibility of this API. It seems that it is a Internet Explorer (JScript) API especially for Windows Media Player 7.0 or higher. Unfortunately I didn't found out the name of the API.

Does anybody know something more about it?
