Hello,

I'm looking for a way to check if a IP is pre-authorized to listen a
streaming.

Cenario: I have a webradio and I just want people listen to the radio
if they opened my site before. Or a way to check if the webpage with
the embbeded player is still open. Because I dont want people
listening to the webradio opening directly the streaming location
(mms://....). I can use MS SQL to store the IPs, ASP to process, if
needed.

Just an idea: maybe a way to "deny" all IPs and programmaticaly insert
and remove authorized IPs in the publish point IP manager?

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Roger Vee

There are two ways to do what you need.

1. Authorization by referrer. In this case the content will be viewable only
in the windows media player embedded in the HTML page located at your
website. The custom authorization plug-in has to be created for this or you
can use ready-made solutions such as http://voynex.com/wmsbilling

2. It is possible to pragmatically add and remove IP addresses using WMS IP
Address authorization plug-in or WMI. Contact me directly for more details.
