Re: Cant connect to some streams with MP11

Thanks. I'll give this a try and report back. By changing the .asx file from
mms to http/rtsp, will that break w/ users that have MP9 or lower?

I just installed MP11. I cannot connect to the following stream:

Change this :

See above.


I am able to connect to these streams just fine with MP9.


The mms pseudo-protocol was deprecated starting with WMP9. It's now no
longer available in the player, so you have to check the setup of your
media server or use the workaround above to get protocol rollover if
you haven't got access to the media server.


is something to do w/ the .asx file configuration or the version of MP Server
that is being used, or the server configuration.

Both.

I can connect to other streams w/ MP11 such as
http://gcstream.waittmedia.com/kkar
without any problems.


As you'll notice, that URL is directly specifying a publishing point
using the http protocol. If you changed that to mms it'd probably not
work either (it *eventually* works in WMP7, but takes about 30 seconds
to achieve the protocol rollover to http)
