Windows Media Services for Windows Server 2008 June CTP

By Mack Male | June 30, 2007 at 4:33 pm

Microsoft released a Windows Media Services (WMS) package for Windows Server 2008 June CTP this week. Bill Staples, who runs the Web Server engineering teams at Microsoft, says the package is now supported on the Web SKU, though the download page says some features (such as the WMS Cache/Proxy plug-in) are not supported.

From the download page:

Use this release of Windows Media Services to test a Windows Media server running the Windows Server 2008 (June CTP) operating system in a test environment. Microsoft Windows Media Services is an industrial-strength platform for streaming live or on-demand audio and video content over the Internet or an intranet.

Here is the WMS package download, and more information on the June CTP.

    How can I configure windows media services to stream to an xbox, or to allow wmp 11 to stream across the network. It is a shame divx encoded files are unable to be streamed.

    I’m really struggling to get Windows Media Services to serve media from my Windows 2008 Server to my XBox.

    I’ve changed the http port (80) to a different one which could well be a problem, but I’m not sure what port Xbox 360 uses to look for media on the network.

    Can’t find any documentation for WMS on 2K8 Server and XBox 360 either, although I doubt it’s a widely used combination yet anyway.

    Any advice or pointers would be good.

    Thanks

    Sam

    Hi there people, I just wanted to holla and tell you that I found a great site. For those of you who don’t want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on pay-per-view fees to watch UFC 108 online FREE in full HD. Far Better then spending $55.95 on it eh?
