Push Stream To Windows Media Services

[Einewton]

Hello,

Thank you for providing such a robust solution. Your player does almost anything.

I am currently using Windows Media Encoder in my product, and there are so many bugs in the encoder SDK, and It only will stream in it's WMV format.

I'd love to stop using Windows Media Encoder 9 in my products, and start using VLC, except I can't get VLC to create a publishing point and push a stream to that publishing point on my Windows Media Services server.

I like to use Windows Media Services because it does well under high loads of traffic, and does well with authentication, etc... I can push a stream from my clients network, out to my server and broadcast the stream via Unicast. If VLC was able to push a stream to my Windows Media Services server, i'd be able to completely take out WME out of my product, and use VLC.

If this feature becomes available, i know there are a lot of people who would love to use this in their architecture of their products.

I also need this type of solution. This is my first time here and I am supposed to ask the same question.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks

same here also..

i guess we need to determine how windows media encoder "pushes" content to windows media services.

I'm assuming its probably a RTP/UDP stream; can anyone load the encoder up and do a "netstat -an" to see what port it sends on?

if it's not using some kind of proprietary method to initiate this "encoder push" connection, we might be able to use VLC

I'll try n' remember to run netstat tomorro and will post the output...

Note: 1186 is simply the first free port that media encoder detected.

My mistake... that's pull. In push, everything is done over port 80 http protocol.
