  streaming video in IIS Reply Contact I have a couple of sites that stream WMV and one that streams FLV videos.  I have a windows 2003 server (Standard Edition, all the latest service packs and updates).  I have noticed that after the videos play a few times, they no longer play until I run the iisreset, reboot the server, or restart the AppPool process for the sites.  What kind of settings or suggestions do you have that will allow me to stream and not have to physically involve myself with restarting these things?
