Installing the Stream Publish Service and
Auto-Publish Support
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. This information is provided for reference.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express is installed automatically when the Interplay Workflow
Engine is installed. Therefore, do not install the Interplay Workflow Engine on a system that is
currently using the SQL database, such as the Interplay Media Services Engine system.
To install the Stream Publish service:
1. Open the folder where you installed the Interplay Servers Installer software kit.
2. Double-click the Installers folder.
3. Double-click the StreamPublish folder.
4. Double-click setup.exe and follow the instructions.
For more information, see the Avid Interplay Media Services Setup and User’s Guide.
To install the Workflow Engine and Auto Publish software:
1. Make sure the application key (dongle) is attached to the streaming server.
2. Make sure the Microsoft Automatic Update is turned off on the server that will have the
Workflow Engine installed. You can manually install Window updates on this server.
Microsoft Automatic Update interferes with the reconnection of the SQL database, if the
Workflow Engine becomes disconnected.
3. OPen the folder containing the Interplay Servers Installer.
4. Double-click the Installers folder.
5. Double-click the AutoPublish folder.
6. Double-click setup.exe and follow the instructions.
The Workflow Engine and Auto Publish flow charts are installed. You need to configure
these flow charts. For information about configuration and using auto-publish, see the Avid
Interplay Media Services Setup and User’s Guide.
