I would like to publish live audio broadcast from Media Encoder 9 to
a Windows Media Server running on Windows 2000. If I try to push to
the service, I get

"The service that received the HTTP push request is not a compatible
version of Windows Media Services (WMS). This error may indicate the
push request was received by IIS instead of WMS. Ensure the WMS
is started and has the HTTP Server control protocol properly enabled
and try again.(0xC00D2F0C)"

If I try to pull from the Media Encoder, a Media Player client gets
an error when trying to play the content. Nothing is logged anywhere,
but a Wireshark packet capture shows that it is connecting to the
Media Encoder PC.

Is there any way to publish live audio from Media Encoder 9 to
Windows 2000 / WMS 4.1? I poked around Windows Download for an older
version of Media Encoder, but no luck.

So - What happens when you shut down IIS on that box - does it work
now ? I can't see why the encoder direct connection would ever cause
an error, but since you didn't say what that "error" was ...

Cheers - Neil

This W2k server plays a .WMV file just fine over windows media
server on port 1754, so I haven't tried to shut down IIS. Also, one
thing that is logged on the Windows Media server is the client
connection event but nothring else. The Windows Media player client
error follows - about as helpful as 'error'!! :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another
computer, verify that you are connected to the network. If you typed a
path, verify that it is correct. If the problem persists, the server
might not be available

C00D1197: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this
error message for one of the following reasons:

Your computer is not connected to the local area network (LAN) or to
the Internet. Connect to the network or Internet, and then try again.
The path to the file is not valid. If you typed a Uniform Resource
Locator (URL) in the Open URL dialog box, verify that the file name is
spelled correctly and that the path to the file is correct, and then
try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link might not be
valid.
The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not
online). Try again later.
Some network protocols in the Player are not enabled. Enable all
network protocols, and then try again.
The proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly.
Verify that your proxy settings are correct, and then try again.
To enable all network protocols
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.
In the Streaming protocols area, select all the protocol check boxes.
To verify your proxy server settings
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.
Verify your settings in the Streaming proxy settings area.
Note

If you do not know what your proxy server settings should be, on the
Network tab, select a protocol, click Configure, and then select
Autodetect proxy settings or Use proxy settings of the Web browser
(available for HTTP protocol only).

OK so we've confirmed that IIS is "intercepting" the port 80 request
to begin the Push stream to the server.

The options now are - go to the media server and configure http server
control protocol to listen on another port than port 80, or you can
set the server to listen on another IP bound to the network card - or
just use a second NIC for incoming encoder connections, making sure
IIS is configured *not* to listen to that IP.

This server is serving some web sites on port 80, so that cannot be
changed.

I did however find a way to tell Windows Media Encoder to push to
port 1755. This produced a message -

----------------
The network connection has failed (0xC00D0029)
---------
There was nothing relevant in any logs. A network packet trace showed
a connection to port 1755, this POST, followed by an immediate server
disconnect.

POST /abcstream HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-wms-pushsetup
X-Accept-Authentication: Negotiate, NTLM, Digest

-----------------------------------------
I couldn't find a way to specify a 'push' type of connection to
Windows Media Server version 4.1 when setting up the broadcast
publishing point.

I'm guessing that Windows Media Encoder 9 is not compatible with
Windows Media Server 4.1/ Windows 2000? I can't find anything in the
docs either way or cannot find an old version of Windows Media Encoder
to try.

I found that WMS 4.1 also opens port 7007, so I tried pushing to
that port with the same results.

I resolved it -

Believe it or not, I never pressed the "Start encoding" button - I
thought it looked like it was running. My only gripe is the lack of
relevant logging on the Windows Media Server - I don't know if Windows
Media Server 2003 is improved any.

I managed to find a copy of Windows Media Encoder 7 and it was
clearer to me that I needed to press the "start" button. Here's my
steup:

Windows 2000 Server mms:// to Windows Media Player clients via
port 1755.

Defined Broadcast Unicast publishing point on the server to remote
PC running Windows Media Encoder 9 with a Live Broadcast session, PULL
protocol. Pull is preferable because the connection will auto resume
if there is a network anomaly causing the connection to drop.

Oh dear - that's the UI equivalent of "is it plugged in?"
O well, glad you're running now - Cheers, Neil

Hello Jeffery Jones,

Would you please send me Encoder 7 if you still have it?
or kindly tell me where did you get it from?

Thanks.

ok I found a fix for this error, at least one that worked for me.

First open Windows Media Services by locating it in the start menu.

Second, On the menu to the left, you should see the name of the serve
with a plus sign next to it. Click on the server name.

Third, Click the Properties tab on the left hand side of the window.

Fourth, click on Control Protocol in the category menu.

Last, make sure that the ” WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol ” i
enabled under the plug-in menu
