Testing the announcement file

  • Article

From this page, you can test the files created by the announcement wizard.

  • Test announcement. Click Test to start Windows Media Player and connect to the stream.

  • Test Web page with an embedded player. Click the Test button to open the Web page in your browser. You will be able to see the stream from your publishing point in the embedded Player.

If the content does not play back during the test, check the following:

  • Confirm that Desktop Experience is installed. For more information, see Installing Desktop Experience.

  • Because Windows Media Services logs on using the Network Service account, make sure that all files and folders that you are accessing have been granted Read permissions to the Network Service account.
