Stream a live event using our Live Smooth Streaming service by updating the code that references your Smooth Streaming-compatible player to point to the player URL associated with desired publishing point.

Key information:

Sample Code

A sample HTML code fragment for a Silverlight object is provided below.

In the above HTML code fragment, you should replace the entire URL with the previously copied player URL. A definition is provided below for each italicized term in the above URL.

Tip: An alternative to the above player URL is to use an edge CNAME to mask it. This type of configuration requires that you replace the CDN hostname and content access point (e.g., http://wsp.0001.{Base Domain}/210001/) with the edge CNAME hostname (e.g., http://www.mydomain.com/). Before using an edge CNAME, verify that it points to "/21xxxx (Live Smooth Streaming Origin)."

</video>

Tip: An alternative to the above player URL is to use an edge CNAME to mask it. This type of configuration requires that you replace the CDN hostname and content access point (e.g., http://wsp.xxxxThis term represents your CDN account number which can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the MCC..{Base Domain}/21xxxxThis term represents your CDN account number which can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the MCC./) with the edge CNAME hostname (e.g., http://www.mydomain.com/).

(Live Smooth Streaming Origin)."
