Neil, the .wmv files and the .smi files are ALL on the media server, in the
same folder, in the same directory. The only thing on the webserver are the
..nsc files and the .htm files created when the publishing point is made. The
stream works fine withOUT the captions in an embedded Media Player using the
..nsc file as a pointer from our Streaming Media Web Portal or using the .htm
file as a pointer from the run command). Or the stream plays fine WITH the
captions if you just navigate to the media server and double click on the
..wmv file.
I'm playing with some version of the reference lines you suggested added
manually now but, the path to the .smi file is exactly the same as the path
to the .wmv. I'll post here if I have success with this method.
Thanks.

I've built .smi files for my .wmv videos using Hi-Caption software. When I
setup an On Demand video stream on my Media Server (WMS 9 running on Server
2003 Enterprise, IIS on a seperate web server.) the video stream runs fine
but the CC does not work. I have the .wmv and .smi files in the same
directory on the server. The captioning works fine if I just run (double
click) the .wmv file directly but NOT through the streaming server. What am
I doing wrong?
The SAMI and WMV files must exist in the same directory / URL path for
this feature of the player to work. That is, for having the player
automatically request a SAMI file where present.
As they're on different domains, this can't work.
So instead, you should use the alternate route and append the SAMI
file as a query string of the request URI such as
rtsp://stream.myserver.com/file.wmv?sami=http://web.myserver.com/file.smi
