MMS:// port 554 with ACNS

Question

I have my CE setup and have the wccp setup on my router. I see that WMT is being redirected if I use http:// to access the video. If I try to go straight to the video using MMS:// (Windows Media Service) it plays from the original site not the CE. MMS:// uses port 554. Is there a way to redirect traffic based on this port number? How can I get the MMS:// request to redirect to the CE?

Answer 1

Are you using WMS9? Starting with Windows Media Services 9 Microsoft decided to use RTSP-based streaming instead of the previously used MMS.
From the docs:
With WMS 9, Microsoft introduced a major change in the streaming protocol. Windows Media Services 9 Series by default uses a new RTSP-based protocol for streaming.
These are the streaming protocols currently used by Windows Media 9 players:
•Windows Media Services 9 Series RTSP/RTP-based protocol
•Windows Media Services 9 Series-over-HTTP
A Content Engine, which is running the ACNS 5.5.1 software, has full interoperability with the Windows Media 9 server and a Windows Media 9 player over all of these streaming protocols.
So if you want to configure WMT in ACNS 5.5 you need to enable service 80 and 83
Take a look at the procedure:
