How to simulate a live broadcast with Windows Media Server
November 25th, 2009
- Create Windows Media content and place it in the ASFROOT folder on the Windows Media Services server.
- Open the Windows Media Administrator.
- From the left side of the Administrator, select Unicast Publishing Points.
- In the Broadcast Unicast Publishing Points section, clear the use wizard option. Click Broadcast, and then choose New.
- For alias name, type a descriptive name.
- For the path type, choose Remote Windows Media Station, and for the URL use msbd://localhost/alias (where alias is the same name you used in the previous step). This provides the connection point for Windows Media Player clients.
- Next, on the left side of the administrator, choose Multicast Stations.
- Click Stations, and then choose New.
