Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / February 2008How do I get WMS to stream files from a location outside of C:\wmp
Due to limited disk space on the C: drive, I am trying to stream files from a D: drive. I have read the "Sourcing from files" information in the help files on the media server and it talks about the account "Network Service" being used for communication to locations outside of wmpub. I think I have done everything it says to do but I still can't stream from the folder on the D: drive. When I put the same .wmv file in a folder under C:\wmpub it works fine so I know the file is OK. When I try to use the "Test this file" option from the WMS console, I get the following message. "Windows Media Player cannon 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" I have shared the folder on the D: drive, using a share name that is the same as the actual folder name, and I have setup the "Network Service" account for this folder and I have given this account "Modify" permissions. The folder location on the D: drive is "D:\Folder". In this folder is a single .wmv media file. "Demo1.wmv". > Due to limited disk space on the C: drive, I am trying to stream files > from a [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > The folder location on the D: drive is "D:\Folder".

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. However, this did not seem to make any difference. I gave "full control" permissions to bo the Everyone account and the Network Service accout and this did not make any difference. I also stopped and restarted the Media Server, still no change in results. It should not matter that I have multiple Publishing Points should it? I am treating a Publishing Point the same as a virtual directory in IIS. I have one IP address pointing to the Media Server then two publishing points under that one IP address. On Publishing Point points to the default wmpub folder on the C: drive and everything in here plays fine. The second publishing point points to a directory on the D: drive. I think this setup should be OK. Any other thoughts?

I believe you have to disable the NTFS ACL Authentication plugin... > Due to limited disk space on the C: drive, I am trying to stream files > from a [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > The folder location on the D: drive is "D:\Folder".
