Smooth Streaming White Paper

March 27th, 2009 Posted in Internet Information Services, Silverlight, Smooth Streaming

I know that many of you have been reading my blog for information about IIS Smooth Streaming. I’ve posted a series of posts on that topic, but sometimes blog posts can be difficult to aggregate. So if you’re looking for a single, one-stop-shop for information about Smooth Streaming, you can now download a white paper on Smooth Streaming that unifies all that information I’ve been posting in a single doc:

The white paper is available in Word, PDF and XPS formats.

    Please release a command line LIVE encoder that works like WMCmd.vbs and supports smooth streaming!

    Was wondering if live smooth streaming can support script streams (like WM Encoder 9) to broadcast live informations directly to clients.

    Keep up the good work!

    @Philipp:
    Expression Encoder will likely include support for live Smooth Streaming at some point in the future.

    @Angelo:
    Yes, there are provisions in the Smooth Streaming file & manifest format specification that allow marker and script command insertion.

    Great Job with your blog!

    I’m wondering, will smooth streaming support wmv9?

    VC-1 Main Profile, you mean? No, only Advanced Profile, as it requires transport independence, sequence headers with entry points, closed GOPs, etc – all features only available in AP.
