Starting the Publishing Point


The broadcast publishing point can be configured to remain stopped until the first client accesses it. Contoso, however, asks the CDN to start the publishing point as soon as it is configured.

When an end user clicks the link on the movie genre page, InfoChannel.asx downloads to Windows Media Player. The Player opens the metafile and connects to the publishing point. The intro image plays for 10 seconds, and then playback switches to the playlist in progress.

We have seen how Contoso Movies Online made detailed plans for building the movie info channels, and then created a mockup channel with server-side playlists that contain dynamic content. In the next chapter, we see how they produce an event for the Live Event Channel.
