WMS Unicast Data Writer
The WMS Unicast Data Writer plug-in is used to transmit content through unicast streaming. You can configure the following options for the plug-in.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
Protocols |
Settings in this area control how unicast streams are transmitted over a network. |
TCP |
Select this check box to allow unicast transmission of data from application-layer control protocols, such as RTSP and HTTP, by the TCP transport protocol. |
UDP |
Select this check box to allow unicast transmission of data from the RTSP application-layer control protocol by the UDP transport protocol. |
Use default packet size from content |
When using RTSPU transmission, select this option to have the header information in the content stream determine the optimum packet size for streaming. |
Use maximum packet size (in bytes) |
When using RTSPU transmission, select this option to specify the number of bytes that each streaming packet should contain. The default packet size is 1452 bytes. The minimum number of bytes per packet is 36; the maximum number of bytes per packet is 65507. |
Note
Changes made to this plug-in are applied to new client connection requests only. Clients that are already connected to the server are not affected.
Note
When using RTSPU, setting the RTSP packet size to a very small value can prevent the Windows Media server from being able to stream.
Note
If the Windows Media server or any clients are behind a firewall or a proxy server that cannot pass UDP packets, you should disable UDP packet transmission for this plug-in. Clients that try to receive UDP transmissions through network components that are not UDP-enabled may experience latency during the protocol rollover process.
