Video playback in remote access RRS feed

  • Question

  • When my users log in thru remote access  in whs11 and try to play an avi file stored in video folder, the file downloads rather than streaming.

    Any ideas?

  • If you are using WHS2011, are you using a Client running Silverlight and accessing the files through the "Media Library" rather than "Shared Folders"?

  • Once they've logged in, instead of using the Videos folder under "Shared Folders" they should use "Browse Videos" under "Media Library".
