Multibitrates from one source - Windows Media

[carloadmin]

I can only upload one bitrate - 300k to my Windows Media Server. Internet bandwidth does not upload multibitrates e.g. 300, 150. (450k required) Client needs low bandwidth streams as well.

Tried to setup a playlist in Media Services (lpp://local-publishing-point) and then set the limit to the bandwidth per stream but it does not work. It streams until I reduce the limit and then it does not work anymore. Don't know why this feature is in Media Services.

Looked for software that can encode from a remote source (video & audio from http://...) and found Scenecast (http://www.sceneware.nl) It works ok but stops now and then. Very expensive software! Therefore I use a second server, pull the stream from Media Services server, encode and push it back.

Anybody who knows another product, any suggestions or ideas? It will be highly appreciated. I also need to pull out an audio only version stream.

Hello my recommendation will be BlinkoTV because the stream is very smooth and it has HD capabilites also. The broadcaster has a lot of options so you can select the bitrate, fps and video size or quality.

BlinkoTV does not do Windows Media nor can it pull from the Internet.

Hello

It doesn't because it s easier to broadcast without windows media server. It comes with the hosting plan included.
