Announcing an on-demand directory

If you have sourced the publishing point from a directory, you have the option of announcing either a single file or all of the files in the directory.

  • A file in the directory. Click this option to create an announcement file that directs Windows Media Player to connect to the file specified in the text box. Type the name of the file or click Browse to locate it.

  • All files in the directory. Click this option to create an announcement file that directs Windows Media Player to connect to the publishing point using a wildcard character. This causes all of the files in the directory to be streamed to the Player. To use this option, you must enable the Enable access to directory content using wildcards property on the Properties tab of the publishing point.
