IWMReader doesn't like URL for input? dl0haus 6/6/2007 9:09:00 PM I'm working with WMVCopy in the samples directory. It compiles and runs fine, the problem is when I give it an input of a URL that I know is running on a Live stream, it fails. It gives me the "bad parameter" error message. I can run this program fine with a local .wmv file and the copy works. It appears to not like a URL like mms://blah.blah.blah.blah/pub, the blah's obviously being valid octets in our network. I tried http as well. I can run IE and pull up the stream using this URL just fine. I guess what I'm arriving at logically is the URL has to point to a valid file that already exists? That WMReader can't do Live streams? This would be most disconcerting. Are there parameters for live streams that I need to set first?
