Specifying the URL to the multicast information file

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Determine the method that players can use to access the multicast information (.nsc) file. The player needs to access the multicast information (.nsc) file either from a Web server or a UNC path. If you specify a UNC path, the player must have at least Read permissions to the path.

  • Web server. Click this option if you will make the .nsc file available by using a Web site. Accept the default name and location or enter a different one.

  • Network share. Click this option if you will be making the .nsc file available by sharing a network resource. Enter the path and file name of the multicast information file you want the player to access.

Note

If the Web server address of your .nsc file specifies a port other than 80, you must specify the port in the URL. The following is an example of a URL that uses a non-standard port: https://computer.domain.com:83/broadcast.nsc.
