WMS Playlist Vs IIS7 Web Playlists

Reply Contact

We are using WMS serverside playlist in our application - I just found IIS7 Web Playlists CTP2, I'm trying to understand the difference between these two.

Our requirement is to add advertisements like TV commercials to a main video. I appreciate any inputs on this, mainly the correct platform to use - should it be wms server side playlist or IIS7 web playlist & authentication.

Hi Mathi,

Web Playlists is a progressive download solution while WMS Server-side playlists is used for streaming.

There are a few questions I wanted to ask before determining if Web Playlists would work for your scenario:

Do you enforce skip on your advertisments?
Are your advertisements coming from a third party ad provider or are they local to your machine?

Regards
Vishal

Hi Vishal,

1. No, the advertisements cannot be skipped.

2. The advertisements are local.

We also want to log the statistics & authenticate the users.

How can one decide which platform to choose for their requirement. Anything published regarding this?

Hi Mathi

There is a lot of documentation on Web Playlists and WMS SSPL. However, there is hardly anything differentiating the two. I will try to produce a blog post shortly.

Meanwhile, Web Playlists would work well for you scenario (assuming you don't conventional streaming). Here is a set of links that will help you get started. I will happy to answer any more questions:
