Hi all,

I've created a publishing point and embedded the stream into a web page.  
What I would like to do is have default content, a few 30 second ads, display
when the encoder is not pushing and switch to the encoder when we go "live"
with a broadcast.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Yesh sure - this part of the encoder FAQ page will be helpful :

Make the publishing point access the playlist, rather than directly
supplying the encoder URL as the playlist lcoation.

Wow--that's awesome.  Thanks Neil and my apologies--I should have been able
to find that myself!

Oh, it's actually not that easy to find - I have to keep the phrase
"encoder failover" in my head to find it on MSDN ;-)
