asp.net and Windows Media Player

[StefanT]

Hi,

I have a web app and a I have a http handler for a file, when I have a web
request for that file I insert a stream of bytes like this:

public void ProcessRequest( System.Web.Http Context context)
{
string path = "c:/media/atb.mpg";
byte[] buffer=null;
context.Respons e.ClearHeaders( );
try
{
using(Stream stream = File.Open(path, FileMode.Open))
{
buffer = new byte[1024];
while(stream.Po sition < stream.Length)
{
//Thread.Sleep(10 0);
Debug.WriteLine ("Read");
stream.Read(buf fer,0,buffer.Le ngth);
context.Respons e.OutputStream. Write(buffer,0, buffer.Length);
//context.Respons e.Flush();
//Thread.Sleep(10 00);
}
//stream.Read(buf fer,0,buffer.Le ngth);
}
}
catch{}
}
}

The problem is that the Media player is waiting for the hole file, if I put
this line of code then
context.Respons e.Flush();

the MP is not working anymore.

I want to publisn on my web server a video stream, is there anyway to do
this ?

Best regards,
Stefan

You might try using the media player activex control, as detailed here:

It's still waiting for the hole file, in your articole the file is on the web
server, in my case I have a web handler and want to insert a video stream
from a web cam for e.g. If I put :

<OBJECT ID="Player" CLASSID="CLSID: 6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM name="autoStart " value="True">
<PARAM name="URL" value="out.stre am">
<PARAM name="rate" value="1">
<PARAM name="balance" value="0">
<PARAM name="enabled" value="true">
<PARAM name="enabledCo ntextMenu" value="true">
<PARAM name="fullScree n" value="false">
<PARAM name="playCount " value="1">
<param name="setMode" value="showFram e">
<PARAM name="volume" value="100">
</OBJECT>

the MP is waiting until the hole file is on the on that computer. Is there
any way to flush 1024 bytes or more ? If I put this line of code :
context.Respons e.Flush();

I get an error message.
