WMS9 Broadcast point vs Server-side playlist in On-demand po |
|
|
If you are doing a simple live streaming from an encoder,
you should be using a broadcast publishing point in most
cases.
However, even on a broadcast publishing point, one can do
it in two ways: source from a .WSX file (WSX file
contains a single entry pointing to the encoder) or
directly from the encoder.
You can use WSX to do more powerful things (like setting
duration of live broadcast element, setup a fail over in
case you want redundancy etc.) but if you simply want to
source from an encoder, directly pointing it to the
encoder is the way to go (you have one less file to
manage). However, my guess is that perf. wise both
scenario's must be pretty much close to each other.

Hi - does anyone know if there any performance (or
anyother) issues
between the following alternatives to serve a live stream
in WMS9:
1) Create a Broadcast point and point that to an
encoder. - e.g.
mms://server/broadcast
2) Create an On-demand point and place a server-side
playlist inside
and serve that. - e.g. mms://server/ondemand/broadcast.wsx
Many thanks
