Has any body had experience with the different solutions available for protection your video/audio stream hosted on windows media server. We are planning on launching Media hosting services and are currently considering Video quota to protect clients streams. If there is any other solution,
View 2 RepliesI just bought a Kimsufi server with Windows 2003 standard edition to run a windows media broadcast.
I installed windows media services on my server and created a publishing point.
However I'm unable to connect to the pub point I created.
Has this ever happened to any one?
Is there a way to enable hotlink protection so that when I edit a page from my computer the pictures from the server display from my server but my site is still protected from other hotlinking. My intent is to make it easier for someone to edit there page.(i know I could just reupload image files but I was trying to think of a way to make it easier for someone else) I thought adding my ip address to the cpanel hotlink protection enabler would do the trick but it hasn't.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a plesk panel and i had a look for hotlink protection but unfortunately couldn`t find the proper option.
I guess there is a hotlink protection at windows version of plesk but not at linux one. I have a linux server.
Also i have a question about hotlinks also, one of my customer has a site that it uses too much bandwith like 600 gb at a month. It is an education related site and site is html.
And i am having some high load issues. When i check apache-status it shows %90 of the connections for that site. But i cant be sure that if it site really makes high load on server because like i told site is html. Also would like to know if server get s load for example if visitor wants to download something from site.
Because visitors are usually downloading zip, mp3 and those kind of files and i dont know if that many download cause the high load.
Also will it reduce the load of the server if i put hotlink protection to that site because of chance for other sites to leech files from this site?
Edit : If there isn`t any option for hotlink protection at Plesk panel how can i enable hotlink protection. Maybe using htaccess, but i would be glad if you can provide hotlink protection code also
Does anybody know which rules should be used to allow hotlinking of files with *_thumb* in their file name and block hotlink of all other files?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOne of the sites at my server is using over resource and causing slowdown to other sites. Because even i am still waiting for my in/out traffic graph, i guess leechers are giving link to those files from other websites and directly downloading from my server.
As a result, site is using around 1.5 tb of bandwith. It was not a big issue before but now server connection is 10 mbps, it was 100 mbps at old server.
So we have 2 options at this point, upgrading connection or activating hotlink for files.
But i donīt really know how to protect .zip and .rar files being downloaded from other sites by direct link to file. I tried hot link protection at cpanel. It is working well for image files, but when i add zip and rar files to protection list, nothing changed. I can still download the file by clicking direct link from other site.
does anyone on this forum know how to do a referral check to prevent hot linking to files that are on a nginx server? There is this regex code you use but I don't know how to put it together. how to do it on nginx using their rewrite module?

I was playing with some hotlink protection settings etc which I cant fix now.
Anyone know how to get this fixed?
I can run exactly the same script under a different account on the same VPS without any issues.
i tried to create .htaccess file to protect hotlinking ; it's worked perfect with Firefox but can't work with IE. Here's my .htaccess file:
Code:
RewriteEngine on
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName domain.com
AuthUserFile www est.htpasswd
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url] [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url] [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url] [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url] [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|zip)$ [url] [R,NC]
If using Firefox and download a .zip file from my site it'll work but if use Internet Explore it'll only download redirect html file instead.
I am setting up the HotLinking access in cPanel for one of my accounts and don't understand the wording of this section.
It first has the list where you put in the domains that you want to allow hotlinking for.
Then below that it has an input that says, "Extensions to allow:". For this input, does that mean extensions to allow for EVERYONE, or just the domains listed in the section above?
You think they'd be clearer on that in the documentation, but they aren't. Help on this is greatly appreciated.
my Hosting service (Hostway) offered Windows Media Server at the time. I wanted visitors to have the ability to quickly stream .wma's, so I went for the cost.
now...I'm unemployed; & money is real tight...so, I was thinking of dropping Hostway...going over to GoDaddy; & switching my means of musical delivery to .mp3's.
So:
1) How much slower is mp3 streaming from a conventional server than .wma from a dedicated server?
2) Is there a way to speed it (mp3) up (save decreasing file size)?
3) Will .wma's stream without the dedicated server; & if so...how is that implemented?
I really need to save money in this economy...but I don't want my listeners to suffer. Is that possible?
I have a vps at 3dgwebhosting I would like to install wms I get it installed but when I try to config. a live publishing point it ask for a url for the encoder and where where is it but also when I try to start the point it will not start can some one help?
View 1 Replies View Relatedcompanies offering a managed server for streaming windows media video files.
they are about 400kb/s and streaming to about 100 people at once.
storage space is about 80gb and bandwidth of 2000gb/month
server must be fully managed and the files are archived, I do NOT need live streaming
Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a company that wants to stream some live events via Windows Media Encoder/Windows Media Player. I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just took my first steps into Windows Media Services but I have some problems with the buffering of the stream.
I send from Expression Encoder 2 SP1 to my publishing point on my Windows Media Server.
But when the quality of the video is too high, I get some buffering problems when I'm watching the streamed video with my Windows Media Player. After looking 5 seconds to the stream, the windows media player stops with playing and in the left bottom corner I see the text "buffering". After 3 seconds buffering, the player goes further for a next of 5 seconds of playing and it continously does this.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have done some searching here but wasn't able to find what I was looking for, so am making a new post.
I have a client who needs an online training web application. I have done plenty of sites in the past, but none with streaming video so am really unsure what type of hardware this requires. At peak the client expects 50 users watching streaming video at the same time (so lets double it to 100 to be sure). What type of server hardware requirements am I looking at to deliver that content at a good speed with little to no hick ups? Also, is a 100Mbps link good enough?

Anyone know a good program to let me put passwords from opening the hard drives via My Computer or especific folders, shortcuts, programs etc?
Lets per say someone got a hold of my Administrator password to have those important confidential files not to be seen a program like this would help. I am also going to set up that the server is only accessed from 2 secure locations just in case.
Say I use about 1 TB of bandwith / month in media: images, small files, etc. What would be the best hosting option? Most shared hosting I've tried have booted me for using too many resources.
