Re: Re-broadcast Live content...

Sometimes you will find extra error message info in the windows event
viewer, either as application or security events.

Hi Krish:

The same scenario, I just managed this to work by entering in "Advanced
creation of publishing point" and setting "http://localhost/p_p_1";, not with
the WSX file.

:-(

server"

Please let me know if i have to try something different.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi

Here is the additional information from my investigation.
I have only one Publishing point "ss" with following ss.wsx file

ss.wsx file
------------
<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil repeatCount="Indefinite">
<media src="http://remoteserver/rwfswt"/>
</smil>

When i try to start this ss publishing point , its giving the following
error(copied from even log)
"
Server gives the following warning information: 'The publishing point 'ss'
is unable to stream from http://remoteserver/rwfswt', referenced in
'file://C:\WMPub\WMRoot\ss.wsx'.

But when i try to play this http://remoteserver/rwfswt directly in Windows
media player, I am able to see the live content.

One more important information regarding "http://remoteserver/rwfswt"; is a
streaming coming from another windows media server (not from any ENCODER).

Is it really possible to do whatever I am trying to do?(Like taking the live
broadcast from one windows media server and re-broadcast it with my Windows
Media server)
Please help me

Thanks,
Krish

Hi

Smith thank you for your reply. Here are my inputs for your reply

I started ss before dd and status of ss is "SS (BroadCast) publishing Point
Started"

I do not want to make it too complicated so i want to remove the concept of
another publising point dd, so that my problem will be clear

Here is what i am doing . I have only one Publishing point ss with following
ss.wsx file

ss.wsx file
------------
<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil repeatCount="Indefinite">
<media src="http://remoteserver/rwfswt"/>
</smil>


I have started this publishing point ss and its status is started.Now when i
try to play
mms://myservername/ss , it saying connecting to media and immedaitely it
says stopped.
where as when i try to play ( in windows media player)
http://remoteserver/rwfswt,
it is playing the live streaming successfully.

What is the issue? why i am unable to re-broadcast live content with
Publishing point in my Windows Media server??Can u please let me know where
should i check event logs ???

Thanks,
Krish

Hi - My reading of the documentation is that the lpp:// scheme should
work as you have described below, however the only examples I remember
seeing are for improving connectivity with windows media encoder,
where the connection is using http, I don't remember specifically
reading about doing this from a remote server using mms.


To confirm your scenario, is publishing point ss started before
publishing point dd ?

When you 'test the stream' on the server using media player - not
connecting to the source in WMP, but connecting to the ss publishing
point, which in turn references the live source - does it work then ?

I would investigate using the failover scheme indicated at this page
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms753592.aspx

If you see the failover video(s) instead of the live stream then
there's some problem connecting to the remote stream source. At that
point you should check the event log to see what's being reported as
the error.
