    text
    copied!<p>I am running Windows Server 2008 SP2. I have an IIS 7.0 Webserver installed running IIS Media Services Beta 1. I also have WebDAV 7.5 installed.</p> <p>I encoded a video file, MP4(H.264/AAC), to the smooth streaming protocol using Expression Encoder 4.0 Pro. Under "Default Web Site" I added a virtual directory to the encoded video and created a simple page with an embedded Silverlight player to view the content.</p> <p>Simply put the page loads up, and never starts playing. If I go the the .ism file in a browser I can see it fine as an .xml.</p> <p>I loaded up the default content that microsoft privides from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e44b0a2d-2e0c-48ff-bf57-3d05a20e2f6a&amp;displayLang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e44b0a2d-2e0c-48ff-bf57-3d05a20e2f6a&amp;displayLang=en</a></p> <p>If I try to play that file in the webpage it DOES work.</p> <h2>Here is my Question:</h2> <p>Why does the sample content work, but mine doesn't? Do I need to add some permissions somewhere so my file can be accessed? Was my file encoded incorrectly?</p> <p>My File: <a href="http://128.113.16.8/library/kissxsis/1/1.ism/manifest" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://128.113.16.8/library/kissxsis/1/1.ism/manifest</a></p> <p>Sample File: <a href="http://128.113.16.8/library/bbb/Big%20Buck%20Bunny.ism/manifest" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://128.113.16.8/library/bbb/Big%20Buck%20Bunny.ism/manifest</a></p> <p><em>Edit1: Embed code for the player I am using to play the .ism</em></p> <pre><code>&lt;object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%"&gt; &lt;param name="source" value="SmoothStreamingBlackGlass.xap"/&gt; &lt;param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.50401.0"/&gt; &lt;param name="autoUpgrade" value="true"/&gt; &lt;param name="InitParams" value="mediaurl= http://128.113.16.8/library/kissxsis/1/1.ism/Manifest"/&gt; &lt;/object&gt; </code></pre>
