A client (browser / web applications) connecting to a Windows Media server must use the server and publishing point names as part of the address. If no publishing point name is given, the Windows Media server will direct the request to the default publishing point.
Windows Media Services provides two methods for adding a publishing point: the Add Publishing Point Wizard and the Add Publishing Point (Advanced) dialog box.
We can use either Wizard or Advanced as per our need. On choosing the Wizard type, it will ask for each settings and add the publishing point in to WMS.
Following are the information we need provide while creating any Publishing Point:
After the wizard finishes, create an announcement using the wizard which automatically pops out. This will provide option to create 2 files (.asx & .htm). Remember to select both the checkboxes in this step. On completing this wizard, you will get an window to test the video streaming and test the html file from browsers.
Edit the test.html file in notepad, you can get the code for embedding the video object into your file. Just copy this and use inside your required web pages.
I will continue how to troubleshoot the media service issues on my next post.
Cheers !!
