Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / October 2008Backup Audio File if main audio stream fails..
Wonder if someone can help me. We have WMS on 2k3 enterprise pulling a 48k stream, however sometimes it will get disconnected (for whatever reason) and then it dumps all my clients. Quite often the stream has re-established within a few seconds but I've lost all my clients. Is there anything similar like I have my Shoutcast servers, in that if the incoming stream goes, it will start to play a backup file until the stream re-establishes? Help appreciated, Harry. Hello Harry, I think the best solution here is to develop custom datasource plug-in which will play the given file then publishing point has stopped. Regards, Vladimir V.

I'd just use the already provided "WMReconnect" for distribution servers in this instance, alongside "WMNoDataTimeout" to specify how long the server should wait until it decides the stream was dropped : See "To enable content rollover in case of encoder failure" http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/urlmodifiers.aspx#u rlmodifers_encoderfailover You'd then provide a backup resource (such as a JPEG or WMV) which was sent instead of the live content, should the connection be lost. Typically that might be a video indicating technical issues and that the user may wish to restart the stream in a few minutes if it doesn't automatically recover. Setting repeatCount on the SMIL element would accomplish that : http://www.iliveu.com/wmserver_en/hosting/streaming/toenablecontentrolloverincas eofencoderfailure.htm HTH Cheers - Neil >Hello Harry, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> >> Help appreciated, Harry. ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs Many thanks Neil.
