MMS Streaming on Windows Server with Media Services
Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2015 4:55 pmFor people who like to use WMA like me as it can be use on real streaming protocol such as mms and rstp. I would like to have a choice on the streaming protocol. I have a Windows 2008 Server using Windows Media Services. I would like to tie in the Windows Media Service to Subsonic. Instead of using http protocol, I would like to use mms. So here is the scenario:
Subsonic configuration Media Folder is Called "Music". The music path as an example would be Genre\Artist\Album\File.wma. So when playing a song from an artist's album on subsonic, based on the log, the path is http://yoursite/Music/Genre/Artist/Album/File.wma or If using a specific port http://yoursite:4040/Music/Genre/Artist/Album/File.wma
On Windows Media Services, I have an on Demand publishing point call "Music" this way it would be the same name as the media folder in subsonic http configuration. So I would like Subsonic to have a feature that would allow to have another path. So in Subsonic configuration, it should have a choice for http or mms. If choose mms, then the path for playing a music file would be mms://yoursite/Music/Genre/Artist/Album/File.wma Aslo if you specify access on Subsonic to have a port opened (http://yoursite:4040), then when using mms choice, it should NOT print out the path mms://yoursite:4040/x/x/x. It should only be mms://yoursite/x/x/x
Hopefully, this could be integrated easily.
I was using a web interface OneWeb (http://www.oneweb.co.uk/onewebmp3server ... nshot1.jpg) a while back and I was able to manipulate the configuration to use mms. Unfortunately it did not a have robust service for indexing the music.
