Re: Schedule a video on a specific date

Can anyone throw somelight on how to do this.

Basically wallclock() seems to be working fine. The only problem is when
ever I restart a broadcast publishing point ( Which has a Server Side Play
List with bunch of media files scheduled using wallclock()) the files seem to
play right after restarting publishing point ( Ex :
mms://mediaserver1/mybroadcast).

I just want to play/access my media files only during the setting times I
mentioned in the wallclock. How do I prevent this autoplay feature whenever
I restart the publishing point. Please let me know

I'm sure someone else here can; I think Neil has used it.

OK,
The following format of wallclock seems to be working. But when I create
the broadcast publishing point with this playlist, the first wmv
(pinball.wmv) seems to play as soon as the publishing point starts. Then WMS
seems to honor the begin & end scheduled times for all videos ( Two in the
following example).

But how do I make sure that first video doesn't play as soon as the
publishing point starts. I want both of them to start only at the timestamps
I mentioned in the wallclock().

<seq>
<priorityClass peers="Pause">
<media src="pinball.wmv" begin="wallclock( 9:45:00 )"
end="wallclock( 9:46:00 )"/>
<media src="industrial.wmv" begin="wallclock( 9:47:00 )"
end="wallclock( 9:48:00 )"/>
</priorityClass>
</seq>
</smil>

Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I couldn't get wallclock function working.
I am using Win2K3, Enterprise Edition, SP2 with WMS installed.
Following is what I did.

1. I created a broadcast publishing wizard called "TestWallClock" and gave
a sample play list of the following format

<smil>
<excl>
<priorityClass peers="Pause">
<media id="Prog1" src="C:\wmpub\WMRoot\industrial.wmv"
begin="wallclock( 2007-05-31T9:14-08:00 )"/>
</priorityClass>
</excl>
</smil>

As soon as the publishing wizard the stream starts to play instead of
waiting for the scheduled time in wallclock() function. Am I missing
something here? Did any body get wallclock() to work?

Thanks,
Ven

I have a video and I want this video to be scheduled on a speicfic date.
I
created a broadcast publishing point. I would like this publishing point
automatically start and stop based on my startdate&time, enddate&time
parameters.

How do I do this kind of scheduling on media server?

You could try the "wallclock" feature:

Or a 3rd party solution:
