Re: Streaming with Closed Captioning
Neil, the .wmv files and the .smi files are ALL on the media server, in the
same folder, in the same directory. The only thing on the webserver are the
.nsc files and the .htm files created when the publishing point is made. The
stream works fine withOUT the captions in an embedded Media Player using the
.nsc file as a pointer from our Streaming Media Web Portal or using the .htm
file as a pointer from the run command). Or the stream plays fine WITH the
captions if you just navigate to the media server and double click on the
.wmv file.
I'm playing with some version of the reference lines you suggested added
manually now but, the path to the .smi file is exactly the same as the path
to the .wmv. I'll post here if I have success with this method.
Thanks.

Re: Streaming with Closed Captioning
Ah...! Important piece of information. MOVE the .SMI files to the web
server. THEN reference them in the .asx file? By George, I think I've got
it. Back to the Remote Desktop...wish me luck.
