MS Windows Media Server and PIX/ASA upgrade

I've just replaced a PIX 515 with an ASA5510 and have lost connectivity between a remote host running MS Windows Media Player trying to stream video back to a Windows Media Server behind the firewall.
I've opened all TCP/UDP ports inbound to the server from any source IP, to no avail. When I put the PIX 515 back, the problem goes away. Port blocking is not the issue, since all inbound ports are open from any IP.
Is there an 'inspect' statement or some other configuration in the new ASA that needs to be added, so it will pass the video stream as it works in the PIX 515?
Will Cisco TAC assist in an issue that may or may not be application related?
Thanks for any tips or direction,
Marc

I fixed it:
CSCsd82714 Bug: RTSP fails with Windows media player
Symptom:
RTSP stream setup is failing with "inspect rtsp" enabled for clients to a
statically translated server behind the firewall
Conditions:
Client on the outside is connecting to a server behind the PIX. The server
has a static configured and access-lists allowing this traffic:
static (DMZ,outside) 172.16.1.1 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list outside_access_in permit ip any host 172.16.1.1
access-group outside_access_i in interface outside
Setting up a connection, the client information is passed to the server.
The server information is passed back to the host. The host then sends a
reset before the SETUP message is passed
Workaround:
Disable "inspect rtsp" within the configuration

  • Window Media Server and Flash Server

    hi experts,
    I am rather new to Flash Media Server, but quite impressed
    with what flash server can do. however, i have a few questions
    which i could not find any answer on the website:
    1) Could Flash Media Server co-exists on the same server with
    Window Media Server? Can both run at the same time?
    2) Could Microsoft cluster service support Flash Media server
    or Window Media server? If not, is there any other way for high
    avail support?
    Thank you guys in advance.

    Hi and welcome,
    1. Yes they can co-exist on the same server. I would just
    keep WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol plug-in in disabled to allow
    for flash to utilize the port. I've seen more problems with
    firewalls blocking port 1935 for flash so the rollover to http is
    good to have.
    2. Yes, There's a decent article on using NLB for coldfusion
    here.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/nlb_failover.html
    Just susbtitiute coldfusion for flash. You could also do a
    simple round robin dns load balancing with a flash edge/origin
    configuration. This article talks about setting up redundancy.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/origin_redundancy.html
    Last but not least. If you don't want the hassle of
    maintaining and spending money on harware, server licenses, etc.
    and you need scalability use a CDN like Akamai. They have the power
    of thousands of servers to keep your clients happy and reduce your
    headaches.

  • Publish multiple files - WIndows Media Server 2008 R2

    Hi all - apologies am new to Windows Media Server and just installed a test one on a 2008 R2 Server. I can easily publish a single file but the Project I am working on will need to make 200+ files available to users. I know I can publish a
    directory where I place the files but is there an easy way once the directory is published for users to select the file they want. Each time I've done it, I seem to just get a playlist of all the files.
    On my test client I am using windows media player 11.0
    Many thanks

    Hello,Sometimes on my main file server if user1 on \\workstation1 creates a directory on \\server\share... User2 on \\workstation2 sometimes can not see the directory for 20 minutes.This only happens on Windows 7 machines. I still have a few Windows XP machines (don't ask) and this is not a problem on XP.Also if I log into the server I can see the data.So to recap say my boss adds a spreadsheet to a share and sends me an email to open the spreadsheet. When I browse to the share from Windows 7 the spreadsheet is not there, but will show up 20 minutes later. But I could go to another Windows 7 machine and the spreadsheet could be there. Also this happens with renaming directories.It happens randomly and not all the time.The file server

    Connected to a X2 shelf DASCould it be a storage write back or write through issue??Also...

  • Windows Home Server and Apple TV 2

    There are some old threads talking about Windows Home Server and the original Apple TV - the HP Windows Home Servers actually have excellent Mac support and out of the box with the Twonky Media Server that is bundled with the HP WIndows Home Servers would stream to the original Apple TV with no issue.
    The wrinkle is the Apple TV 2 requires Home Sharing. I'm not going to debate good/bad - it is what it is. I was searching for a way to get my WHS working with my Apple TV 2 since I'm finally getting around to automating the transcoding of my Tivo files and I would much rather my WHS be my media server than my Mac. I came across this article that seems perfectly reasonable:
    http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/topic/16359-whs-and-apple-tv-v2/
    I haven't tried it yet, but it seems perfectly reasonable. Has anyone else tried it? I'll report back either way - if I remember to

    "But can it be both simultaneously?
    Both a server and a media machine that is showing a movie on your TV?"
    Yes it can, no problems.
    The Mini Server OSX is pretty much the same as the client Snow Leopard, complete with Front Row, iTunes, Mail, Safari etc, but no iLife09 supplied - you will have to pay extra for that.
    It will do everything that Snow Leopard will do but has all the server capabilities too if you know how to set it up/use the software.
    The only things I had trouble with was I can't find Migration Assistant and a strange quirk is that it won't share a USB connected printer across a network! No sign of printer sharing in System prefs but I guess you can do it via the Server config somewhere...
    I just used CUPS to enable Bonjour printer sharing - works fine
    I have been able to insatll everything I had on my previous CoreDuo Mini including Final Cut Express, iLife09, EyeTV, some bit torrent stuff - all works fine...
    I really like the fact that I can plug two monitors in - I have the MiniDVI connected to a 50" plasma and 1080p Projector (using an HDMI splitter), the Mini Display port feeds a separate 20" widescreen monitor - when the plasma/PJ is switched off the main display automatically switches back to the 20" monitor
    All in all this MiniServer is a great little HTPC - powerful and silent with 1TB of storage. The Server software is a bonus I haven't even looked at as yet

  • Safari, Windows Media Player, and Proxy Servers

    I'm trying to watch streaming video of comedy central's Daily Show but its not working. I hit play and I get "-19422" in the play bar. I can't find anything about this anywhere online. I used to be able to do play these videos on my old computer but have had no success. It has to be in Windows Media Player format. I have Windows Media Player and have streamed from other sites. The only thing I have found is that the comedy central page requires a proxy to view streamng video. I have contacted my ISP and they say no such proxy is needed and I should be able to view the page. Am I suppose to guess on the proxy server? The comedy central site says it supports safari and apple computers but it doesn't seem like it. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ieas for solving this problem?
    PS- This is what comedy central says.... Also my ISP is Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner
    "If you are on a Mac, make sure your Player is set to only use the proxy, and disable TCP or UDP checking as this will cause timeouts.
    If you choose the Use proxy option and do not know the proxy server name or port number you should use, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator. "

    Hi,
    The videos work fine for me with Safari 2.0.2 and OS X 10.4.3. The section of the help file you quoted appears to be referring to a corporate firewall setup rather than a typical home setup - you shouldn't need to change any of the defaults for Windows Media Player.
    A Google search for that error code you received mentions Flip4Mac in a couple of places - do you have that installed?
    If so, try disabling it to see if that is the cause of your issues.

  • Converting .OV to .ASF to play on a Windows Media Server

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to create a good quality video file from Final Cut Pro that will stream on a Windows Media Server. I am being told by the tech guys at my work that it needs to stream as an .asf file because we use a Windows Media Server for our media here.
    I have searched but as far as I can tell there seems to be no direct plugin for Final Cut to export as an ASF or a WMV file.
    I work for a college, and I use a Mac to create our videos, but most people use PCs here to do everything else - including our technicians and web developers - so most people here are in the dark.
    I am really stuck here folks. Ideally, I want to be able to stream video files of about 60mbs on our college website - and find a way to have these videos running on a Windows Media Server.
    Thanks a lot - if anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful.
    Simon

    Thanks so much for all your responses.
    I will trial the two programmes that have been mentioned - in terms of streaming .asf I am still in the dark as to the best way to proceed.
    Would you all recommend converting first to a WMV file and then using a PC and related software to convert to .ASF - as I would have to do with Flip4Mac
    Or... using software that will convert directly from .MOV to .ASF on a Mac - as the Aimersoft programme seems to suggest it does?
    Thanks once again - I have been really impressed and really grateful with how quick these forums are to help people out!

  • Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

    Hi All,
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
    When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
    When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
    What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply.
    The link you put up, takes me to the page, but
    "The requested URL /surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma was not found on this server."
    That was WaterFox.
    The webpage cannot be found
    This in Internet Explorer 11.0
    The Files in question were Recorded by Beyond TV to my Local Hard Drive.
    When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
    When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
    Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

  • Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

    windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
    the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
    anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

    The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
    VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

    Clockwork_Killa,
    I don't use it with webcams, but there are some nice examples
    in William Sanders book, Actionscript 3.0 Design Patterns. It's the
    only book I've found that has any real world examples of working
    with media in Flash with fms2.
    Hope it helps. Good luck. You're going to need it ;)

  • Windows Media Player and OS X - No sound

    Hi,
    I am running OS 10.4.3 on an iMac 20" 1.8. I have the latest version (9) of Windows Media Player and have been using it fine for the last while for times that I can't use anything else. Suddenly, last week it would not play audio on any of the video clips I have. When I launch a WMV file, the player gives me the message:
    "This file may not play correctly because it was compressed with a codec that is not supported".
    These are the same files that played fine last week, and still play fine on my MacMini. I have deleted WMP and reinstalled it. I have deleted all preference files that I could find and the WMP codec file in the Library/internet plugin folders, and re-istalled again. No luck. I keep getting the message and the file plays with no audio.
    Any suggestions from some of you wise Mac users out there?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

  • Windows Media player and flash player conflicting

    Hello,
    I have a problem with watching streams (television programs)
    on the internet. I think this is caused by conflicting roles of
    windows media player and flash player. When i don't have installed
    flash player i can watch the streams. When i install flash player,
    i see only green and red blocks on the respective screen. I don't
    know where the problem lies. I have installed Windows Media player
    again, (also Flash player) but this hasn't worked. The streams work
    with Mozilla firefox.
    I hope you could really help me,
    Sincerily,

    Hi Tuncie
    Verify that Windows Media Player is not set as the default
