Hi I would like to know if there is any documentation about migrating media delivery from Windows Media Services (WMS) to IIS Smooth streaming? Today I serve my content using WMS.

Hi there, I had configured a small ARR implementation with the following configuration: 1 ARR and 2 webservers doing round robin balancing.

Thanks Anilr, you were correct. I would advise people not to have Plesk installed on the server unless you want lots of problems. There are also these things you need to do if you want to get Smooth Streaming working with Plesk installed on the server: Plesk generated web sites don't inherit the...

Hi helenw, There is a property called SmoothStreamingSource. You can use that to set the source to Smooth Streaming Content. TotalBytesDownlaoded should have a valid value when you set a smooth streaming source. We will hook up this for progressively downloaded content in some future version in some...

Hi Jared H.264 support in SSME is not there yet. For now, we would suggest using VC1 - CBR or VBR should work. H.264 support in SSME is coming soon. Regards Vishal
