How to Set Up Microsoft's Expression Encoder for Windows Media

Note: Microsoft Expression Encoder is available as a free download from Microsoft. Before installing Expression Encoder, you will also need to download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework Runtime 4.0.

Setting up Windows Expression Encoder

To set up Microsoft Expression Encoder with your SpacialNet Windows Media stream hosting account:

  • Open Expression Encoder
  • Select Live Broadcasting Project from the start up window.
  • Select a live or a file input from the left hand panel (see Microsoft documentation for details)
  • Select the output tab on the right hand panel.
  • For push distribution
    • Tick the publishing point check box.
    • Enter the details for your streaming account in the Location field, using the following format:
      http://wn01.audio-stream.com:port/alias

      Note: The port is the actual Windows Media Server port, not the statistics relay port for your account. For almost all streaming accounts, this will be port 80.
    • Click the Connect button to test the connection. A separate window should now appear, requesting your username and password. Enter the username and password for your stream.
    • Check the Remember Password box and click OK.
    • If you have entered your details correctly, the connect button will change to green and Connected will be displayed to the right.
  • Click Start in the center panel.

You should now be broadcasting on your Windows Media streaming account.
