The IWMEncPushDistribution interface manages push distribution for broadcasting content. Using push distribution, you can create a publishing point on a Windows Media server, generate an announcement file, and then initiate a multicast broadcast—all from the encoding session.
Note You must have access permission to the Windows Media Services service through DCOM, and the encoding computer must have write access on the Windows Media server to be able to push a stream to it. For more information about configuring publishing points, see the Windows Media Services Help.
In addition to the methods inherited from the IWMEncBroadcast interface, the IWMEncPushDistribution interface exposes the following properties and methods.
| Property | Description |
| AutoRemovePublishingPoint | Specifies and retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether to destroy the publishing point at the end of the broadcast session. |
| PublishingPoint | Specifies and retrieves a publishing point name. |
| ServerName | Specifies and retrieves the name of the Windows Media server from which to broadcast content. |
| Template | Specifies and retrieves the name of an existing publishing point from which to copy settings. |
| Method | Description |
| GenerateAnnouncementFile | Generates an announcement file, which is a Windows Media file with an .asx extension that you send to your audience informing them where to receive your broadcast. |
| GenerateMulticastInfoFile | Generates a file containing multicast information. |
