A Windows Media Station was created. Microsoft® Windows® Media Players 'listen' for ASF streams on Windows Media Stations.
|
2.
|
A Windows Media Program was created. Programs contain Windows Media Streams. Programs can be started and stopped as well as repeated.
|
3.
|
Three Windows Media Streams were created. The source URLs for these objects are 'mms://[actual_server]/welcome1.asf', 'welcome2.asf', and 'welcome3.asf.' The multicast service, in this case, is retreiving these files from a Windows Media Unicast service. These files must be copied to the directory path for the Home publishing point on this machine.
|
4.
|
A Windows Media Station file (.NSC) was created. This file contains important 'tuning' information that the Microsoft® Windows® Media Player needs in order to listen for the multicast.
|
5.
|
An ASX file for the Program was 'Announced.' This file is used by the client to retreive the Windows Media Station file (.NSC).
|
6.
|
The Microsoft® Windows® Media Player was started using an URL to the ASX file created in step 5
