Hi,

I am kind of new with windows media server, but I would like to know how can
I create unique URLs, lets say
mms://misite.com/PublishingPoint1/MyVideo.wmv?TokenId=098asdf908

So when the user share that address to someone else, they cannot play the
video, I dont have any idea on how to accomplish this, any approach will be
appreciate it.

Best regards

Hi

You need to develop an authorization plug-in for Windows Media Services to
authorize users basing on the request string. Also you can user special WMS
variables (%%) for the dynamic playlists. Custom plug-ins can be work only
with Windows 2003 Server Enterprise or Datacenter Editions or with Windows
2008 Server. Also you can use ready made third-party software such as

Or you could create ASP page that manages extra URL information and
response with correct Media URL.
For example instead of:
mms://misite.com/PublishingPoint1/MyVideo.wmv?TokenId=098asdf908

create
http://misite.com/PublishingPoint1/MyVideo.aspx?TokenId=098asdf908

Of course, because you will send client side playlist, it will play
directly in media player.

MediaPlayer.Source = "http://misite.com/PublishingPoint1/MyVideo.aspx?
TokenId=098asdf908"

Maybe this will help.
