I have an ASX stream that I would like to play on my Windows

  • 0

I have an ASX stream that I would like to play on my Windows Phone 7. It appears that WP7 cannot handle client-side playlists, like an ASX file. So what do I do now?

When I break into the ASX file, I see it’s actually a mms:// stream with no file extension, so I can’t even point to the raw file.

How do I proceed from here? Is there a better option than the MediaElement control that will handle ASX files?

More Info:
My stream in question is audio/video, with WMA2/WVC1 encoding, respectively, running at 640×360. So according to the supported filetypes, the MediaElement control should be able to handle it no problem.

    You don’t actually have to point to the raw file. Even with the stream URL you can receive the data bits (given that the stream can be reached via a HTTP request). I recently wrote about receiving continuous streams here.

    Once you have the bits, pass them through MediaStreamSource to get the encoded stream and pass it to MediaElement.
