    Hello,
     
    I would like to know if with this reflector service i can make a tunnel for video multicast traffic of  a  windows media server through  internet to other persons.

    I have installed a windows 2003 enterprise edition with media server. I configure this for stream multicast video generating two files .nsc and .asx. Inside my lan i can view  the video  multicast  by WMP  putting  mms://ip/publication or by IE with http://server/publication.nsc.
    Well, can i put this over internet with Reflector Service and then other person view this?

    I see other iptv or radiostation that include /reflectorStick out tongueort at the end of mms://ip/publication. How can i configure this for me and  listen on Reflector?
    I have proved a lot of forms with no results... The last one is this:

    Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition
    • Media Server stream in multicast over 239.1.1.1 port 4444.
    • Reflector Service with "ReflectorService.exe.config" edited from original:
      • JoinPort" value="8083"/>
      • UnicastRTPListenPort" value="4444"/>
      • MulticastInterfaceIP" value="192.168.2.150"/>
      • MulticastInterfaceIP" value="192.168.2.150"/>
    • Venue Service install with configure in 239.1.1.1 port 4444. (I think that this service i don´t need for this but i installed it too).
    Whe i try to connect to reflector over internet with this line:
    mms://server/publication/reflector:4444 it is trying to connect to reflector for a while, but doesn´t and then jump to send me the video through unicast like i put the same but without /reflector.

    I´m trying to do something imposible or there is a for to make that. Can you help me please?

    A lot of thanks and sorry for my english

    Manu,

     

    Our Reflector is customized for ConferenceXP use.  It is not a generic bridge.

    Hello,

    Do you known if exist any reflector client/server generic for  make  this?

    If it can make a multicast tunneling for this application,  that mean that  there are  some  forms  to do this  with  other.  The conference XP  is a  great soft, but i was looking for something that permit me stream video in multicast over internet through a tunnel. I had seen MBone but if this was possible with reflector it would be better and more easy.

    A lot of thanks for you quick answer.

    Manu.

    I think the Internet2 guys have a more generic reflector (bridge) that uses a web interface.

     

    If you use only ConferenceXP, we support your scenario.  :-)
