Silverlight Player acting like dvr

So I am using the smoothstreaming player that’s available at https://smf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Embed%20Smooth%20Streaming%20Player, and the stream plays, with drm enabled too, however I’d rather it not try to play as a DVR type stream if I use your sample player it doesn’t happen however with this player it does… any ideas?

Hi Doug,

What is the streaming URL that you’re using in your player? A DVR URL for Smooth streaming looks like this:

[B]http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/dvr/myStream/Manifest?DVR[/B]

-while a standard live stream (no-DVR) appears without the ?DVR URL query:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/dvr/myStream/Manifest

I would suggest dropping the URL query to see how the stream performs.

Doug,

This is not expected behavior. We can have a look at your logs if you create a support request by sending an email to support@wowza.com. Please include a copy of the following files as a .zip (or other archive):

[install-dir]/conf

[install-dir]/logs

[install-dir]/transcoder

[install-dir]/manager/logs

Also, send a reference to this post.

the url I am using is http://wowza-ip-address:2195/live2/channel13a/Manifest no dvr in the coding at all. However it still behaves the same way.

Will do just that, thanks

I already sent in the email with the logs and all
