Specifications

For advanced uses, instead of streaming directly to a maximum number of client connections,

you may choose to push your stream to a Windows Media server or service website. In

addition to an address, you may also be supplied with a "publishing point" to use. Enter both

the address and publishing point into the "Push to server" box using the format

http://address:port/publishingpoint. If the port is 80, the :80 is optional.

To limit incoming Windows Media connections to a specific set of IP addresses, check the Limit

IP access box and enter one or more IP addresses separated by semicolons. You may use an

asterisk (*) in place of any IP address component, for example 24.22.102.*. By default the list

is an inclusion list. To instead specifically exclude addresses, begin your list with a minus sign (-

Mac notes

The JAVA applet may require a Mac preference change as follows. Open an obscure

application found in the Utilities folder; "Java Preferences". In the "General" pane, change the

"Run applets:" radio button from "Within the browser process (Default, more compatible)" to

"In their own process". The Java jpeg push viewer works best in Chrome, rather then Safari

and Firefox (all current versions).

7.7 Image Posting

Posting still images to a web server is the simplest form of "adding live video" to a web

page. (See the Webcasting

(See 7.6) page to learn about "streaming" video

instead.) However, if "motion video" is not required, the very straightforward method of

"image posting" for getting images onto your web page may suffice, so read on.
