Description |

WMS Directory Playlist Parser |
Enables you to configure a publishing point to stream Windows Media files from a directory by setting the publishing point path to reference the directory. For a broadcast publishing point, a player will automatically receive all of the files. For an on-demand publishing point, a player can request either a single file or all of the files in the directory. |
WMS SMIL Playlist Parser |
Provides support for playlist files with a .wsx extension that contain Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) 2.0 syntax. By enabling this plug-in, you can deliver a single stream that consists of content from multiple sources; you can also dynamically change the content structure as it streams. |
