Authentication on push distribution? dl0haus 6/18/2007 3:06:03 PM I'm a little at a loss how this works. I have an application that needs to baby-sit an encoder; make sure its playing. When it stops playing (which happens all the time), I need this application to detect this condition and restart the encoder. That's the easy part... The hard part right now is hooking into the event subsystem of Windows Media to get the events that allow for authentication when performing a push-distribution to a media server. I read somewhere about a plug-in that might be required. Basically right now when I'm creating the encoder instance its saying "bad username". What do I need to do to get the correct events that allow me to setup a uid/password when starting an encoder push-distribution? If you have code samples that would be great, otherwise, can you point me to some documentation that explains the process involved? Thanks! D

RE: Authentication on push distribution? dl0haus 6/19/2007 12:36:00 AM This seems to be ACL related. Doing all the plug-in stuff seemed to fix this.

Re: Authentication on push distribution? sgninan[ at ]gmail.com 6/20/2007 5:33:42 PM Hi, Can you plz elaborate on this ACL thing? What exactly is called on the encoder app, so that the encoder can send its authentication info to the media server? how did you resolve this? Any code samples on the web that I can use? WHat is the plug-in stuff that fixed this? I need this working specifically in vb.net thanks in advance On Jun 19, 1:36 am, dl0haus <dl0h...[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: [Quoted Text] > This seems to be ACL related.
