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...

Of course, but Silverlight cannot handle MBR streams, does not have a controls.currentAudioLanguage property that gives you the LCID of the audio language that currently plays in a multilingual stream, and of course a Smooth Streaming video (that is the future) cannot be streamed from WMS. I don't...

Hi Vishal. I am the administrator of an Internet only Station. The streaming is based on Windows Media Services and SSPL that are combining recorded videos and Live broadcasts. A common scenario using the WMS. But... we want to get rid of the Embedded Media Player and replace it with Silverlight and...

Hi, I've tried today the web playlists functionality of IIS Media Services 3.0 Beta. Unfortunately I didn't found anything that can be used instead of the simulated live functionality of server side playlists of Windows Media Services, like wallclock. Am I missing something? Is it something that...

I just took my first steps into Windows Media Services but i have some problems with the buffering of the stream. I send from Expression Encoder 2 SP1 to my publishing point on my Media Server. But when the quality of the video is too high, I get some buffering problems when I'm watching the streamed...

Hi, Joeri, I think you are referring to the Windows Media Resource Kit . Most of the concepts still apply in 2008, so I still recommend it as a great resource. Specific download and installation instructions for Windows Media Services 2008 are in Knowledge Base (KB) Article 934518 . Additional material...

As a rule, we prefer to store content on our server's non-system drive (E:\) but when I run the "Add Publishing Point" wizard and get to the "File Location" dialog it always defaults to the "C:\WMPub\WMRoot" folder. Is there a way to change this to another location?...

I couldn't find any books about Windows Media Services 2008 on Amazon. I found only old books from 2003. Does somebody knows good sites or good tutorials to install and config the Windows Media Services 2008 ?

I have a question.

If this is true does it mean that Microsoft is...
