Hello.

Running a Media Server 9 on a Fujutsi Siemens Server.

Been having some strange problem with our streaming.

I have 6 different publishingpoints 1 streaming video and 5 streaming only
audio.
it has been working fine and i have been using a wrapper-playlist on all
"streams"
with an starting add (a 1.15sec video-add for the Video Stream, and a 20sec
audio-add for the other 5 streams)

now the other day all streams stops 10sec before the add has ended on all
streams.
I have tryed to change the add if there was an error in the file to the
default "encoder_ad.wmv" or "proseware_leadin.jpg" but the same error there.
they stop right after they just started as they both are for 10sec.

I even tryed to reinstall the whole media server service and start new
publishing points but still the same error?

After some time i decided to run the streams without any adds in the
beginning but there seems to be the same problems again. Now after a song or
a video is ended the stream stops.

I have tryed different settings
"Bufffer and NoBuffer"
"Repeat Playlist"
"Shuffle Playlist"
Both of them at the same time-

The streams are played from our website in an embedded player and i will
give you the code below here, but when trying to access the streams from a
standalone mediaplayer it starts but after the song is ended the stream or
add stops just like in the embedded player although i get an error msg that
says:

"The Server is not a compatible streaming media server."
?? What?

Starting to think that it maby has something todo with me not having a
soundcard on the server but why did it work for 2weeks? and now just stoped
working. i havent done anything i think. :P (hope)

hope anyone has any ideas why this is hapening.

When connecting to the stream thru the embedded player i use mms://
Owell you can try for yourself.
