ACNS 5.1 WMT Streaming

I've searched the messages trying to find out why a CE 7305 I had working with WMT isn't any more.

I have in the past just used a manifest file to read the content to the CDNFS. I then use Windows Media Player to call the file via MMS:\\server\folder\video.asf

When you browse to the CE directly (a'la port 8003) use reporting, WMT streams, active streams you can see MMS streams for the video and the IP address.

Reading past posts, people are suggesting you have to use .asx files to cause the browser to redirect.

Is this actually the case? What I'm after is the ability for the user to click a link and then for it to stream from the CE having pre-positioned by a channel. I have had it working in the past without .asx files, what I don't understand now is why its stopped working.

Manifest is: -

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<host name="ftp://10.208.84.147/"

proto="ftp"

user="user"

password="password" />

</server>

<crawler

server="source-tag"

ttl="1"

requireAuth="true"

noRedirectToOrigin="false"

alternateUrl="http://server/cdn-error.html"

start-url="/videos/"

playServer="wmt">

</crawler>

</CdnManifest>

Many thanks for any help,

kind regards

Mark
