Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / March 2004Publishing point change realtime
Rav This is a follow up to my first posting in the windows media discuss group , i really need your help I think I might have left out something important The client pushes from 2 media encoders behind a firewall as pull woul not be possible 1 encoder pushes to a pub point called dat , the other to a point calle dat2 I then created a third pub point called test which accesses the .ws fil The wsx file has the roll over code in it When you launch your player and access the broadcast point test it read the smil file and plays the first live broadcast point dat. After a bi you turn the encoder of which produces dat simulating either a failur or the fact that broadcast has ended and the encoder stopped. At thi poin I would expect it to roll over to the second broadcast point calle dat2 as specified in the SMIL file, I have specified WMRECONNECT AS which means it shouldn't try to reconnect but play the dat2 feed withou interuption to the players. But it doesn't it just sits there playin even though the stream has ended. After a while the broadcast poin turns off, then it switches. Seeing this I tried a test,basically stopped the broadcast point dat manually on the server and the fee immediately switched to the other broadcast dat2 with no re buffer o pause for the players. This is exactly what I want it to do withou having to have access to the server to turn the point off. I am at loss as to what to do this basic set of code just doesn't seem to wor unless the broadcast point has actualy ended or is showing as stopped i the pannel. Any ideas would be really appreciated,perhaps there is a wa of reducing the time it takes for the point to go to inactive. re-supply an example of code I am using May I add I also tried this morning changing from push to pull to see i it had any effect but the same still ocuured until the point wa manually stopped on the server <?wsx version='1.0'?><smil><switch><media id="Music1" src="lpp://dat?WMReconnect="/></switch><switch><media id="Music2" src="lpp://dat2?WMReconnect=0"/></switch></smil Thank Please advise me, perhaps i am doing this all wrong and i need your advice Sorry, haven't had time to follow up much. I don't think there is a way to make it work for Push. May be, you can try completely closing the encoder application instead of just stopping the encoder and see if that makes a difference. (You can try the same for pull also). If you are trying pull, make sure that your dat1 an dat2 publishing is pointing to encoder as http://encoder_ip:port?WMReconnect=0. These are the only things I can think of. May be, someone else may have more ideas?

Ben, not sure if this will help, but you WILL NEED to exit (as in shutdown) the media encoder of the "dat" stream, to get the "dat2" to work! Noel |
