Hello,

I have encoded (Windows Media Encoder 9) a video of 1:30 hour at 2000Kbps bit rate.
It reaches the size of 1,3GB. Although I can play perfectly the video through Windows Media Player 9, when
testing the file from within Windows Media Services I get the following error: "Windows Media Player cannot access the file". Does anyone know what can I do? I'm streaming the contents through a 100Mbps Local Network.

OS: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Evaluationc Copy Build: 3790

Thank You

Hi Constantinos,

Where exactly did you put the content? Did you copy it
into the c:\wmpub\wmroot directory (assuming c:\ is your
system drive) which the "<Default>" publishing point
points to and you are trying to play on-demand from there?

If yes, have you checked if the Default publishing point
is set to "Allow New Connections" (when you click on the
publishing point, the right hand side pane would say
whether the publishing point is set to allow or deny new
connections)?

Also, for testing purposes can you try with no firewalls,
proxies in between the client and server so that you can
isolate this issue?

Thx,
Ravi
