  Re: IIS Smooth Streaming Feedback Thread Reply Contact I love the experience.  Is there any case studies done to show small / medium businesses and shared hosting type experiences?   Akami is the Walmart of CDN's.   Is this technology targeted for the very large content providers?

IIS Smooth Streaming is designed for both large-scale CDN scenarios and smaller-scale deployments. We'll be working to make sure the technology will work well in both for final release.

  Re: IIS Smooth Streaming Feedback Thread Reply Contact Looks pretty good.  Although still not quite as good as the Move Network plugin and encoding.  I noticed quite a lot of artifacting especially during quality level switchs between http://video.smoothhd.com/Media/AD_Streaming/NBA.ism/QualityLevels(1500000)/Fragments(video=3130120746)and http://video.smoothhd.com/Media/AD_Streaming/NBA.ism/QualityLevels(2000000)/Fragments(video=3267924804)also vertical movement cause distortion on the high action scenes.  But overall very nice! BTW, what version of Silverlight will this be supported in?  I don't see anything in the Silverlight media documentation about bit rate switching or how to control the quality switching ie.. what factors to base the switch on.  But maybe I'm missing something.  Thanks, Adam Smith

  samzhang Joined on 05-05-2008, 7:45 PM Posts 26	Re: IIS Smooth Streaming Feedback Thread Reply Contact Adam, thanks for the feedback. IIS Smooth Streaming is supported by Silverlight 2.0. There's a seperate managed code module running on top of Silverlight runtime that's doing the smooth streaming logic. The managed code module is automatically downloaded as a Silverlight XAP app. -Sam

  Re: IIS Smooth Streaming Feedback Thread Reply Contact Will the managed code module be extensible?  How would we configure or override the logic to determine the switching?  There are many cases where we may want to restrict, or allow certaing behaiviours or capabilities.  For instance only allowing the hight bit rates only to premium subscribers. Will this be supported for Live events also?  How does the file chunking work?  Is that part of the encode/distribution process?   Or is IIS handling this similar to byte range requests?  Are their content management tools planned for managing the different encode profiles and the distribution of those files? Also, when is a beta planned?  I'm excited to get my hands on this stuff!  Thanks! Adam

  Re: IIS Smooth Streaming Feedback Thread Reply Contact You can use Microsoft Expression Encoder 2 SP1(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A29BE9F9-29E1-4E70-BF67-02D87D3E556E&displaylang=en) to encode and generate the files that are needed for IIS Smooth Streaming. It also allows you to directly publish to IIS using WebDav. Along with the media files and server config files, Expression Encoder generates a XAP file that contains a sample implementation of the client side managed code module. Better yet, you can find the source code and Visual Studio solution/project file for the sample implementation in Expression Encoder's template directory. So with that, you can do whatever you want to plug in your own logic and build your own Silverlight player.  The server module will be a future release of IIS Media Pack running on top of IIS 7.0. The current plan is to release it in Q1 2009. -Sam

How can I play a mediafile when I have the full path 'http://www.mycomain.com/myfile.ism'. In other words how should I reference a file when the webserver and mediaserver are on different machines? The sample works as expected but I need to be able to play files from different servers.

The .ism file needs to be co-located with the media files it references. Actually a better way to think of it is that .ism file is part of the "media presentation" which contains manifest files and the video files. Thanks, -Sam
