Windows Server 2003 from getting started to the proficient Windows Media Server streaming server rack build [go]

Today we are doing a streaming media server for a Windows Media Server streaming media format file.

Some of the movie files available on the market now are in RM format and WMV format. There are also some DivX technology AVI format, to want your server to take all of them, not no way, now realsystem the latest streaming media server software Helix servers already support Windows Media but, so far, No one has cracked its authorization algorithm, hehe, the authorized price is very expensive, I think a lot of people do not have this purchasing power, we now have to use has cracked realserver8 this software, but Realserver8 does not support Windows Media, to achieve "take all", You can only set up two streaming media servers on one server, of course, if a friend with a deep knowledge of streaming media is advised to use Windows Media Server.

One, the Windows Media Server is the first step to add media Services 9

Windows Media Server is a free streaming software provided by Microsoft (of course not really free, you think windows2003 Professional Edition with the Enterprise version of how much money, but I use pirated) in 2003 CD can be found, In the windows2003 can choose this service, if you install 2003 system, you do not choose to add this service, you can also add the removal program to choose to add this service (do not tell me you do not install windows2003) added, your machine already has the Windows Media Server service Media Services 9, you can put ASF, WMV and other files into the C:wmpubwmroot, with the mms://address/file name of the way to access the file you put in, hehe, how? Simple, huh? However, you can not really use C disk to store so many of the streaming media files it? All we have to do is change the home directory of the streaming media server, that is, we can create a directory in the other partition to hold these files, when the mms://address/file name is accessed by accessing the files in the directory you created, not the files in the C:wmpubwmroot.

Second, install HVC400 Encoder and Nowstream coding software on the server, to realize live stream or scheduled live streaming, live stream pull transfer function, live stream push transfer function, file save or timed save. Why use Nowstream and HVC 400 encoded cards without collecting cards? Because: HVC400 is a high compression ratio, high definition, stable quality MPEG-4 hardware compression card. It is based on the support of multi-format single-chip compression technology products, the technology uses multiple algorithms to compress the original video audio signal and the synthesis of different formats of stream files, so as to ensure the video and audio in time synchronization. HVC400 supports a variety of file formats including Wmv,divx,mpeg-1,mpeg-2 hardware compression, hardware compression technology greatly saves the resources of the system, so it can be easily implemented on the ordinary PC four card running simultaneously. HVC400 supporting software-nowstream, can support the operation of four cards simultaneously, each card can operate independently of different bitrate and image resolution, simple operation, stable use. HVC400 is also a good choice for high definition video compression users, it can achieve near DVD image quality at low bit rate of 1.5Mbps.

1. Live Streaming method for publishing unicast

1) Open the Nowstream encoding software, open the Software settings: bitrate, resolution, video input, etc., to achieve live streaming unicast.

2) Select "Save to File", "Native Publish to Server" in "Output parameters".

3) If you need a scheduled unicast publishing feature, select "Timing Parameters" to add a task to implement.

4) Then right-click on the preview window to run the "start", the simple implementation of live streaming unicast release.

5) The settings on the receiving side. The receiving end can be either an Internet user or a local area network user, and the receiving software can be used directly with Windows Media Player 9 or later. Run media Player, and on the File menu, choose Open URL, such as.

Internet users, enter the server's IP address and port number in the "open" field, such as [Url]mms://219.136.128.169:9001[/url]; LAN user, enter the server's IP address and port number in the "open" field, such as [Url]mms ://192.168.1.58:9001[/url], you can accept it.

2. Implementation of pull-transfer function for live stream

1) after the live stream is published, the live stream of the publication (C in logic) can be pulled to media server for distribution, management, authorization, and so on, so it can be said that multicast is implemented (the concept of multicast is d-> A <-b, c this architecture).

2) Run media Service, such as adding an advanced publishing point.

3) The popup dialog is as follows, select "Publishing Point Type" of "broadcast", enter "Publishing point Name" (preferably a name that can represent the broadcast program on the publishing point), and fill in the "Content location" field with the IP address and port number of the collection end.

4) Press "OK" to successfully establish a publishing point, in order to publish the publishing point to run multicast announcements, select the publishing point, in the "Announcements" column Click "Run Multicast Announcement Wizard", Pop-up dialog box such as.

5) Select "Multicast information file (. nsc) and announcement file (. asx)" Press "Next" and press "add" in the new pop-up dialog box.

6) Press "OK", then "next", until "done", will pop up a "Test multicast announcement" box, as below, press "Exit".

7) Now you can see that the "publishing point" adds a publishing point called Webviews-cast1. You can enter [Url]mms://192.168.1.88/webviews-cast1[/url] in the IE address bar to watch the program being streamed to the publishing point.

8) using this machine as a server, with media service to pull transmission characteristics:

The operation is simple and convenient, the collection end can be the same computer as the publisher, or two computers can be separated. After a multicast announcement is run, the multicast technology can be used, provided that IIS is installed and the multicast announcement information file is saved to the Web default folder in IIS; The multicast technology is almost constant in the case of increasing the client receiving live broadcast, the output bandwidth of the Publisher will not increase as the client increases.

3. Push-to-pass functionality for live streaming

1) Run Windows Media Services and press the right mouse button to set up a broadcast publishing point. Such as:

2) Enter the IP address of the machine in the add server, such as:

3) After pressing "OK", a server is added and then "Properties", "WMS ..." for that server. Server control Protocol item to set the

4) After pressing "OK", in the "Properties" bar, "Authorization" class, "WMS Publishing point ACL authorization" enabled:

5) After establishing the publishing point, select "Push to WMS Server" in the "Output parameter" column of Nowstream and set the corresponding parameters, for example, note that the "Port number" setting is the same as the port setting of the 2.3 Media service publishing point.

6) after Nowstream Press "Start", the software pushes the AV stream onto the WMS server, and the Windows Media service displays a publishing point called Nowstream, such as:

7) The client can watch the program stream published by the publishing point simply by entering the appropriate URL in Media Player. Where 192.168.1.88 is the IP address of the server and Nowstream is the name of the publishing point.

8) using "Push to WMS Server" for WMV Live features:

The "Push to WMS Server" mode is the first choice for timed network video streaming. After configuring some of the media service parameters, the media service will automatically generate a publishing point client to watch the live program directly on the publishing point, as long as the collection side starts to eject the stream. For the timing, time-lapse network broadcast users, gave great convenience.

9) file saving or timing saving is easier and easier to use with nowstream coding software.

Three Media server's way to implement on-demand publishing is almost as easy to use as a live stream, just choose "On demand" in the add-on publishing point type, followed by the next steps friends know. Such as

Four To implement the real-format kill, you need to build a real server!
