So they have pre-encoded the content, and they are using "Play While
Archiving". That implies they aren't actually on Win2000 and are
spoofing server headers to confuse you. There's an article about how
to enable this feature by modifying the server namespace on MSDN :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms753906.aspx


They don't pre-encode the content.. it's all an "on demand" encoding (and no
delay other than buffering in media player like normal). And I don't believe
they are using the "play while archiving" trick because when you play the
file using there server, it reports the entire duration, and I can seek all
the way to the end of a 2 hour recording and the only delay is the
buffering.

Give it a shot and I think you will see what I mean. (www.orb.com).


I don't need to. What you're saying doesn't make sense.

Think about this for a moment : The content is being encoded from live
streams. How then would the system "know" it was a 2 hour recording,
if it was live content being streamed in realtime ?

It's not clear why you're talking about streaming from WME yet
referring to "files" in this instance, a la "When I encode content
and send it to WMS (Push), Windows Media Player has no indication of
the duration of the video clip, and can't seek to a specific spot"
