WMP11 ASF progressive streaming issue
Hi,
I have problems when I use open url feature in WMP11. depending on the streamed ASF file I have 2 behaviors: 1- the file gets fully buffered before rendering 2-the file player correctly This happens with different servers. Comparing ASF headers doesn't tell me much. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Malik Cisse |

More data please? Same ASF file streams the same way on both servers, but different ASF files stream differently on the same server? What are the file properties? Where's a URL showing the problem?

Thanks for feedback.
I put two streams online. Both get buffered long time in WMP but play well in VLC or media player classic. I played with almost all settings of WMP11 without success. http://www.enciris.com/test_good.asf http://www.enciris.com/test_bad.asf I use open URL in WMP11. Thanks, Malik |

>What value are you intending to set the stream bitrate property to on the second "bad" file?
It should be around 1Mbit/s >Fix the MIME type on the server... I did that without success. It is really WMP11 problem on XP. Vista playes fine. Changing WMP11 settings doesn't help. |

Fixing the MIME for ASF on your server (should be video/x-ms-asf) means that we can just click on the URL without having to use CTRL+U in WMP.
The Stream Bitrate Properties Object says that that particular file is 20,000,000 bits per second. If the delta in question is between good.asf and bad.asf here, that'd be suspect within context. Those files are huge on a slowish server. I would expect that the first download would be slow, but that any subsequent plays would benefit from local browser cache and thus play back much bettter.
