Implementing a Media Player - On-Demand Smooth Streaming Service

Stream on-demand content using our On-Demand Smooth Streaming service by updating the code that references your Smooth Streaming-compatible player to point to the server manifest file associated with your Smooth Streaming presentation.

Key information:

• A base player URL is listed on the On-Demand Smooth Streaming page.
• Append "/Path/ManifestName.ism/Manifest" to the base player URL.
• Player URLs are case-sensitive. In order to ensure that you are using the proper case, it is recommended that you copy and paste the player URL when configuring your media player.
• Please refer to the documentation provided for your Smooth Streaming-compatible player for precise instructions on how to create/configure it.

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.

• xxxx: This term represent your CDN account number. Your CDN account number can be found in the upper-right hand corner of the MCC.
• Path: This term represents the path to the folder that contains the server manifest file.
• ManifestName: This term represents the file name of the Smooth Streaming server manifest file.

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://wpc.0001.{Base Domain}/010001/) with the edge CNAME hostname (e.g., http://www.mydomain.com/).

Note: Please refer to the documentation provided for your Smooth Stream compatible player for precise instructions on how to create/configure it.
