Uploading to a Windows Media Server
Windows Media supports only realtime streaming using a Windows Media Server. However,
you must also configure your HTTP server to properly deliver the Windows Media metafile.
You must first install the Windows Media Server software on your video server hardware and
properly configure it, or you can use an Internet Service Provider that hosts Windows Media
files. See the Windows Media Server documentation for more details on setting up your video
server.
To put a realtime-streaming Windows Media movie on your site, you must create the metafile,
place it on your HTTP server and upload the Windows Media file to your Windows Media
Server. When the viewer clicks on the link to the metafile, the Web browser downloads the
metafile, launches Windows Media Player and connects to the Windows Media Server to
stream the actual Windows Media file.
Metafiles (WVX, WAX)
Windows Media uses a metafile, either WVX for video or WAX for audio, to direct Windows
Media Player to the Windows Media file location on the Windows Media Server. The metafile
is basically a small text file containing the path to the Windows Media file on the server. The
Web page’s HTML links to the metafile, and you need to upload the metafile and the HTML
files to the same folder on your HTTP server.
To create the metafile:
1.
Check the Create Metafile (WVX/WAX) option in the Output tab of the Settings window.
2.
If you set a path to your Windows Media Server in the Preferences dialog, it appears when
the Create Metafile panel opens. If you did not previously set a streaming server path, or
want to override the default server path, check the Override Prefs option and enter the exact
path to your Windows Media Server in the field.
Note:
Don’t include the name of the movie at the end of the path. Cleaner automatically adds
this to the end for you when it creates the metafile. However, you should make sure to end
the path with a forward slash (/).
The path to a Windows Media Server begins with mms:// because Windows Media Server
uses a proprietary Microsoft protocol for streaming media delivery. The path specified in the
metafile is an absolute path because it references media normally placed on a different server.
When you select this option, Cleaner creates a small text file that has the same name as the
output movie, but ends with the WVX suffix for Windows Media Video or WAX suffix for
Windows Media Audio. This file will be created in the same destination folder as the output
movie.
