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. My content is usually just one bitrate wmv file in Windows Media 9 format (video and audio) in an asf container. I also have...

Hi, Gissah, Thanks for asking about this. It is a known issue, with a known fix. Dave Nelson wrote an excellent blog post about the issue and how to fix it at http://blogs.iis.net/dmnelson/archive/2009/05/14/updating-browscap-ini-for-internet-explorer-8.aspx . -Chris

Hi, Gissah, It seems you are documenting, piece-by-piece, your investigation into Windows Media multicast. :-) As you must know, the text you provided represents the contents of an encoded NSC file. More information, including information on the encoding algorithm, can be found on MSDN. A good starting...

Hi, Gissah, This usually means that you need to generate a new multicast announcement (NSC) file. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753602(WS.10).aspx for information on how to do this. -Chris

Does that answer your question? If not, could you please be more specific...

If all the valid requests will be coming from a specific website, would IP Address authorization meet your needs? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770273.aspx -Chris

Hi, Justin. You can absolutely stream a live video with WMS. At a high level, you will want to create a new publishing point using the Add Publishing Point wizard (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772032.aspx ), source from an encoder (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731559...

Hiya. I'm hoping someone might be able to send me some sample code or point me towards a tutorial or blog post... I've just dived into the world of Windows Media Services. For a current project I need to be able to restrict access to certain WMV files housed upon a streaming media server. For...
