WIN32 Console Application : WMVNetWrite
========================================================================
Shows how a Windows Media file is streamed across the Internet. The sample requires a port to be specified, and then the file can be played using a player.
USAGE:
wmvnetwrite -i <infile> [-p <portnum>] [-c <maxclient>] [-s <server URL>]
infile = Input WMV file name
portnum = Port number (for incoming connections)
maxclient = Maximum clients allowed to connect
server URL = URL of Server for push distribution
For example, in order to stream the file from the host machine and to play this stream on a client machine,
the following should be run on the host machine:
WMVNetWrite -i c:\filename.asf -p 8080
And then the following URL should be opened with the Windows Media Player on the client machine:
http://hostmachinename:8080 (where hostmachinename is the name of the computer running WMVNetWrite.exe).
HOW TO BUILD:
In order to build the sample executable, open the project file WMVNetWrite.sln in Visual C++ and build
the project.
REMARKS:
-This sample is not able to stream protected Windows Media files.
-Push distribution to servers requiring authentication is not supported in this sample.
