I need to stream a file from my server to several clients. I’m not sure which approach to take. I found Windows Media Services but all posts I read are three years old, and all examples are in C++. The content also primarily relates to Windows Server 2003 and/or Windows Media Player 9.
Is this the approach for streaming rich content to WPF clients? Can it really be so, that I cannot leverage the strengths of WPF, but I am forced to interact with DirectShow?
I noticed that my Windows Media Player 12 has some features about streaming content to other plaers, could this be leveraged? It seems like a nice approach that I don’t have to go all in with Media Server/services.
What is the approach to this using WPF? Say I want to make 10 clients simultaneous stream the same file across the Internet – or “subscribe” to the same broadcast…
It seems like I have to use the RTSP protocol and Windows Media Server.
