WMT stream splitting (with multicast stations)

[silvano.d]

Hi,

I've created a WMT multicast station on my CE for live streaming splitting. Based on sniffer traces, the CE can receive both unicast and multicast streams from my WMS server. It also multicasts the unicast or multicast stream from the WMS server to the multicast address that I supply in the wmt multicast station-configuration command. However, the CE does not create the .nsc file for clients to access the CE-generated multicast stream.

When I enter the command :

show wmt diagnostics header-info nsc-file mynscfile.nsc

I get:

open: No such file or directory

unable to open mynscfile.nsc

Any ideas?

Stream splitting technically involves multicast. If you want unicast to unicast, it would not be stream splitting, it would just be individual clients each requesting a copy of the stream. See if this link helps you. The server side of the CE needs to be told to come in via unicast or multicast, then out to clients via either unicast or multicast.
