We are looking for improved ...We are looking for improved management of FLV/F4V delivery to a JW Player on our corporate network. The IT group has proposed Microsoft IIS7 web server with the so-called "free" media server."

Is this known to work? Can we still do the MP3 files in support of audio descriptive tracks using IIS7/Media Server? Right now the progressive download from our Windows servers is taking a minute or so to start playing on some workstations on our network. Admittedly it is a 250MB FLV file ...

Thanks,
Chip Gallo

This should work fine. Do you have a link to where you are running the player on your site?

Here’s a simple and clear download that shows all kinds of stuff.

It demonstrates how to do most everything you would want to do with the jw player including, on-demand streaming from multiple servers, resizing, sendevent, and dynamically setting the start position. It also works with all browsers, so there are no compatibility issues, and it does not need to use the swfobject.

Ethan -- it will be on our intranet site and not accessible from the internet. We have the MS server available. It has been used to closed caption and encode WMV, but I'd prefer to use Flash for new videos of which there are several coming.

LB -- I'll check out your links and thanks!
