Windows 7 - I need help
Asked By djenforcer

I help run an online stream of my college radio station online. We
get our internet from two different sources and every now and then
they switch them and it changes our ip address. Is there any way to
set up windows media encoder to re-try getting a connection? It
really sucks when we have people from France listening and it will
really suck when it goes down during Christmas break. If you could
help I would like step by step details how to do this. Thank you for
your time.

Hi - even a dynamic IP address should not expire when it is still in
use - if it does, your internet provider is faulty and you need to
resolve this with them.
It should only change when you restart the network router which would
acquire a new external IP address - otherwise, you could expect
services to be routinely disrupted even if just web browsing...
www.whatismyip.com can be used to determine the external IP address
reasonably reliably.
Are the users connecting directly to the encoder ?
Or are you connecting the users to a media server, and the media
server connects to the encoder (Pull:* stream type ?)
If the server connects to the encoder, reverse the sense and use Push
from the encoder to the server publishing point, so the server does not
have to know about the encoder IP address - use basic authentication
instead.

This could be achived by using a playlist on the server with both
sources listed. When one IP goes down it will roll over and connect to
the other..
windows media encoder sdk, create playlist with c# Windows 7 Hi, i am trying to create something like playlist for windows media encoder, working with c#. I dont understant how to set active new group, when i add it to collection, i need to set it active without stopping encoder. i tryied : SrcGrp = (IWMEncSourceGroup2)SrcGrpColl.Add(name); SrcAud = SrcGrp.AddSource(WMENC_SOURCE_TYPE.WMENC_AUDIO); SrcAud.SetInput(fileName, "", ""); SrcGrpColl.Active = SrcGrp; but then the encoder procces just stops. . .

C# control of encoder; encoder monitor, stop detect, restart Windows 7 I'm looking at implementing a "monitor" or a watchdog for our WM Encoder 9 encoders. I work for a network that streams live sporting events and other programming do is write a .NET application (or some kind of script?) that will monitor the encoder that is running and if it stops, detects this condition and restarts automatically. I imagine there are probably cases were the encoder might "really break" meaning it crashes. I probably need a way to have some kind of communications timeout with the encoder so I can restart the entire encoder application if necessary. This application I want to write keeps us from having to monitor and doing manual restarts when we get an angry phone call.

Problems with Windows Media Encoder. WMEncoder RunState dosn't changes. Windows 7 I'm using WMEncoder encoder = new WMEncoder(); to convert wav file to wma. Method encoder.Start(); is asynchronous. How can I make execution of encoding process synchornous? When using encoder.Start(); while (encoder.RunState! = WMENC_ENCODER_STATE.WMENC_ENCODER_STOPPED encoder.RunState dosn't changes. Value of property RunState stays WMENC_ENCODER_RUNNING even when convertation process is public void DoConvert(string input, string output, string profile) { try { / / Create a WMEncoder object. WMEncoder encoder = new WMEncoder(); / / Retrieve the source group collection. IWMEncSourceGroupCollection groupCollection = encoder.SourceGroupCollection; / / Add a source group to the collection. IWMEncSourceGroup group = groupCollection.Add("SingleEncode"); / / Add audio
Can't add to playlist while playing another playlist! Why? Windows 7 In Windows Media Player 11, I could listen to a playlist and edit a different playlist at the same time. But with Windows Media Player 12 I can add or edit we had in version 11? Windows Media Discussions Windows Media (1) Player (1) Baets (1) Playlist (1) First, make sure that you are in Library mode and not Now Playing mode. While a playlist is playing, open the playlist that you want to edit in WMP's center pane. The playlist in the center pane can be edited while the other playlist is playing. Regards - - Tim
