Win2008 server to build streaming media services (movie online)

What is streaming media services?

The so-called streaming media refers to the use of streaming in the Internet to play media formats,

Compared to the traditional way of downloading the entire video file before it can be viewed,

Streaming media technology is through the special compression of video files into a small packet,

From the video server to the user's computer in a continuous, real-time transmission, the user does not need to completely download the entire video file before viewing,

Just a short buffer to watch the downloaded video files, the remainder of the file will continue to download.

The common streaming media file format has. mov,. asf,. Viv,. SWF,. RT,. RP,. ra,. RM

There's also a WMV format, which is the abbreviation for Windows Media video.

I use virtual machines to build tests here. Server traffic cannot afford--

Download Install update package

In Win Server2008, there is no integration of streaming media, but as a separate plugin.

Windows Server: "https://www.microsoft.com/zh-cn/download/details.aspx?id=12442

Windows Server R2: "https://www.microsoft.com/zh-cn/download/details.aspx?id=20424

Select the desired version.

I download WINDOWS6.1-KB963697-X64.MSU here, (virtual machine server is R2 64-bit)

If the user is a newly installed Windows Server 2008, you need to download "SERVER.MSU",

If a user installs a Windows Server 2008 system in Server Core mode, the download is "CORE.MSU",

"ADMIN.MSU" is a remote server Management tool for WMS 2008, which is downloaded as needed.

Download good and install it.
