Interplay Streaming Server and Direct Play of Proxy Media
109
Interplay Streaming Server and Direct Play of Proxy
Media
In Interplay v2.4, the Interplay Streaming Server was re-engineered to directly play
MPEG-4/H.263 and H.264 video media and MPEG1 Layer 2 audio media. There is no longer
any need to use the Publishing service or Workflow Engine to create QuickTime reference
movies for streaming play. Double-click a clip that is associated with supported proxy media,
and the clip plays in the Interplay Access Monitor.
Avid Interplay Streaming Server Service
Interplay Stream Server v2.3 and earlier ran as a Windows service named Avid Interplay Stream
Server. Interplay Streaming Server v2.4 and later runs as a Windows service named Avid
Interplay Streaming Server Service. This service is responsible for starting and monitoring two
Interplay Streaming Server processes. and a process called InterplayStreamingProxy.exe which
is responsible for distributing client requests to the Interplay Streaming Server processes. These
processes are listed in Windows Task Manager as follows:
• InterplayStreamingService.exe
• InterplayStreamingProxy.exe
• InterplayStreamingServer.exe
• InterplayStreamingServer.exe
Activity for each of the two Interplay Streaming Server processes is written in separate log files,
which are located in the following two folders:\\tewks-gs1s\Gold_Builds\Avid_System_Monitor
• Windows Server 2003
- drive: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avid\Avid Interplay
Streaming Server\8554
- drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avid\Avid Interplay
Streaming Server\8556
• Windows Server 2008
- drive:\ProgramData\Avid\Avid Interplay Streaming Server\8554
- drive:\ProgramData\Avid\Avid Interplay Streaming Server\8556

Interplay Streaming Server v2.4 and v2.5 are qualified on both SR2500 (Windows Server 2003)
and AS3000 (Windows Server 2008).
