Windows Media Services 2008 and Media Player Web Part

My team and I have been playing with Windows 2008 Server RTM and have been playing with the downloadable feature from Microsoft which is Windows Media Services 2008.

It's a very easy program to download and we are going to be using it to stream videos made in our school and also sound tracks made by our podcasting team and music department.

Back in July I published Steve Sofian Media Player web part for him as his blog was down and would like to thank him again for his work.

I just added the Media Player Web Part to a site and in the source field for the video location added the media streaming URL something which is like mms://mediaserver.domain/video100

It worked fine.

I had a quick go but it didn't work - I do need to play more before I can conform this.

Alex, You could use:

www.codeplex.com/SLMP4SP

Do you know how you can publish the: mms://mediaserver.domain/video100

externally? I assume this would only work inside the network?

About apearce

My name is Alex Pearce and I live in Birmingham, UK. I am the Learning Environment and ICT Manager at the largest school in the UK. I am implementing the Microsoft Learning Gateway into my 12th school and planning on hosting 60 primary (elementary) school in the same environment. SharePoint is the portal layer to the Microsoft Learning Gateway and I first started using SPS2003 before moving onto MOSS 2007 when it was released in late 2006. I am hoping to share my knowledge with you all. Why I hear you ask!!?! I work for an education organization and the reason I enjoy my job so much is because I want to help pupils/students achieve what they want in life. Why should I hide my secrets? Why not help other schools implement the Microsoft Learning Gateway/SharePoint solution to improve learning in their school. I hope you find my blog useful . www.sharepointblogs.com/ajp
