Set Up Microsoft Windows Media Services (WMS) and Internet Information Services (IIS) Depending on your deployment, you may need to install and configure Windows Media Services and IIS Smooth Streaming; however, they are not compatible with all media servers. Windows Media Services is not supported in Windows Server To support mobile devices with a RealPresence Capture Station Pro, RealPresence Capture Station Portable Pro, or Polycom RSS 4000 appliance and RealPresence Media Manager 6.6 software, you need at least one Microsoft IIS Smooth Streaming Server. This chapter provides a quick outline for configuring Windows Media Services and IIS Smooth Streaming on a single application server in a small production or lab environment. In many larger deployments, the media servers are individual servers. For more information about Windows Media Services and IIS Smooth Streaming, visit Microsoft s support website. Polycom, Inc. 41

42 Requirements for Windows Media Services and IIS Smooth Streaming You need to meet the following minimum requirements to use Windows Media Services and IIS Smooth Streaming: Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 (IIS Smooth Streaming only) Windows Media Services is required to support Windows Media Streaming. Windows Server 2008R2 or Windows Server 2012 is required to support Microsoft IIS Smooth Streaming. If you will be using this Windows server with a Media Services Agent (MSA), ensure that Microsoft.NET Framework 4.5 (.NET 4 and 3.5 are supported) is installed. Note: Windows Media Services is not supported in Windows Server 2012 Use External and Third-party Streaming Servers RealPresence Media Manager 6.6 software supports the following external streaming servers for live streaming and on-demand: Windows Media Services 9 IIS Media Services Wowza Media Server 3.5 Configuration of third-party servers is not covered in this guide and is the customer s responsibility. Windows Media Services (WMS) WMS is not supported in Windows Server 2012 To support the Windows Media format, you will need a Windows 2008 R2 server configured for Windows Media (Enterprise is required for multicast). This server should have the Polycom Media Services Agent (MSA) version 6.6 installed to enable automation using the RealPresence Media Manager Admin Tool In Windows Server 2008 R2, WMS is installed using a separate role installer which must be downloaded from Microsoft at the following URL: Enable Roles in Windows Media Services Once you download and install the Windows Media Role package, you must enable the role. To add and enable roles: 1 In the Windows Server Manager dialog box, click Add Roles. 2 In the Add Roles wizard, click Server Roles. Polycom, Inc. 42

43 3 Select Streaming Media Services and click Next. 4 On the Select Data Transfer Protocols page, select the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) checkbox. 5 Click Install. Configure the Windows Media Server s HTTP Streaming Port If Internet Information Services (IIS) is using port 80, then you must configure Windows Media Services for a different port, such as port 81. You need to configure the HTTP streaming port setting in the Polycom, Inc. 43

44 RealPresence Media Manager software s Admin Tool to match the port you configure for in Windows Media Services. Caution: Configuring Ports for IIS and Windows Media Services If the Windows Media Service is to be installed on the same server as the Web Content or Media Manager Portal Server, you must configure an alternative port for Windows Media streaming over HTTP since IIS will bind to port 80 by default. In this case, Polycom recommends using port 81 for HTTP streaming in Windows Media Services. The RealPresence Media Manager default servers are configured to use port 81 for http streaming during installation. To configure the Windows Media Server s HTTP streaming port: 1 In the Windows Media Services management tool, select your server. 2 Click the Properties tab. 3 Select the desired control protocol category. 4 Right-click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol and select Properties. 5 Select Use other port ( ), and enter 81 in the field. 6 Click OK. 7 Right-click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol again, and select the Enable checkbox. Create Publishing Points in Windows Media Services You need to create Publishing Points on the Windows Media Server for one or both types of content you will publish using Media Manager. You can create either On-demand publishing points for content that Polycom, Inc. 44

45 users will view on demand, or Broadcast publishing points for content that will be published as a live stream. To create Publishing Points in Windows Media Services: 1 Open the Windows Media Admin snap-in, right-click Publishing Points, and select Add Publishing Point (Advanced). 2 Select the type of publishing point, either On-demand or Broadcast. 3 Do one of the following: If you select On-Demand, browse to and select the directory where your video files will be stored. This directory might be configured as mapped, shared drive, or configured as an FTP directory. Admin Tip: Setting Read Permissions If you link an on-demand publish point to a directory, the directory must have read permissions set for the WMUS_ServerName user. If you select Broadcast (live), choose Push or Pull. Push means that the encoder starts the connection. Pull means that the server starts the connection. If your encoder is behind a firewall and your server is outside the firewall, you need to choose Push for the encoder to initiate the connection. Admin Tip: Recovering from a Loss of Connectivity Pull publish points can recover from a loss of network connectivity between the encoder and server, while Push publish points require a manual encoder restart. This makes Pull a better choice when available. 4 In the Add Publishing Point dialog box, enter a Publishing point name. 5 In the Location of Content field, enter a push or pull location: For a Push publishing point, enter the content location as Push:* Polycom, Inc. 45

46 For a Pull publishing point, enter the content location as DNS_or_IP_address_of_encoder:encoder_port Set Authorization Rights for Publishing Points You may wish to set up authorization rights for your publishing points in the Windows Media Services management tool in the following scenarios: You are using a standalone WMS server and want to support live streaming from a Polycom RSS This WMS server has a Media Services Agent (MSA) installed on it to support automated, wide distribution of content using the RealPresence Media Manager software. The MSA requires permissions for publishing points. You are publishing to the WMS server using a RealPresence Capture Station Pro appliance, and wish to use the hypothetical user account PRCS105 to publish from the encoder settings on the RealPresence Capture Station Pro appliance. User PRCS105 requires write permissions for publishing points on the WMS server. To set up authorization rights for your publishing points in the Windows Media Services management tool: 1 Select your server, and click the Properties tab. 2 Select the authorization category. 3 Right-click WMS NTFS ACL Authorization and clear the Disable checkbox. Polycom, Inc. 46

47 4 Right-click WMS Publish Points ACL Authorization and click Properties. 5 Select the permissions level you wish to assign to users. 6 There are three levels: Read enables you to view content being served from a publishing point. Assign this permission to the everyone user group. Write enables you to publish content to an existing publish point. Assign this permission to the user account or accounts you wish to have applications, such as RealPresence Capture Station Encoder or RealPresence Media ManagerScheduler Service, use to write content to the publishing points. Create enables you to create publishing points. Assign this permission to the user accounts you wish to have applications, such as RealPresence Media ManagerScheduler Service, or URL Import service for RSS-4000 streaming, or Media Services Agent for MSA distribution, use to create publishing points. Admin Tip: Setting Read Permissions If you link an on-demand publish point to a directory, the directory must have read permissions set for the WMUS_ServerName user. Internet Information Services (IIS) Media Services (Smooth Streaming) To deliver live and on-demand streaming video through RealPresence Media Manager software, you need to install the Media Services (Smooth Streaming) role in Microsoft IIS. Before installing or configuring IIS Media Services, you need to install and configure IIS 7 for Windows Server 2008R2 or IIS 8 for Windows Server For more information about IIS, visit the Official Microsoft IIS Site. To Enable IIS Media to deliver on-demand Smooth Streams from a RealPresence Capture Station Pro appliance or other device: 1 Create one or more virtual directories from which to serve the IIS Smooth stream. 2 Give this directory read, read and execute, and list folder contents permissions for the IIS_IUSRS group. For streaming from a RealPresence Capture Station appliance, you need to configure the RealPresence Capture Station software with the correct permissions for transferring files. You can also share the folder or folders using Windows or set up the folders as FTP destinations to enable RealPresence Capture Station appliances to upload Smooth Streaming on-demand files. To enable IIS Media to deliver live Smooth Streams from RealPresence Capture Station appliances or other device: 1 Set up a Smooth Streaming publish point for each RealPresence Capture Station appliance with the ios/smooth option. Polycom, Inc. 47

48 2 Open IIS Manager and browse to the website you will serve Smooth Streams from. 3 In the Configuration Options screen, in the Media Services section, double-click Live Smooth Streaming Publishing Points.

56 Troubleshooting: Reporting Database Failure If the reporting database fails after selecting the reporting database server, the credentials you entered for the database server may be incorrect. Click Back twice to go back two steps and then reenter the credentials for both the Primary Database and the Reporting Database. 11 Click Next. 12 Select a Recovery Model: Simple Select the Simple recovery model to keep space requirements small, such as in smaller installations where a dedicated database administrator will not always be available to monitor the SQL Server. The Simple recovery automatically reclaims log space and does not back up logs. If you select this recovery model, remember that you can only recover changes made before your last backup. If the simple recovery method is chosen, a maintenance job will be installed that will create a backup, update statistics and defragment indexes on a nightly basis. The schedule may be changed in the SQL Server Agent after installation. Full Select the Full recovery model for more robust recovery options. This model requires additional maintenance specific to the usage and environment of a particular deployment. For this reason, the maintenance job will not be installed if either of these models is chosen. It is recommended that these models only be used if there will be an on-site or contracted database administrator present to monitor the SQL Server. The Full recovery model enables recover to an arbitrary point in time and requires log backups. Bulk-logged Select the Bulk Logged recovery model if you want to reduce log space for most bulk operations that need minimal logging. You can recover to the end of any backup, but not at an arbitrary point in time. The Bulk-logged recovery model requires the same database maintenance considerations as the Full recovery model. Polycom, Inc. 56

57 Enter the paths where the RealPresence Media Manager database files will be located on the target Microsoft SQL Server or Servers. Admin Tip: Using Non-default Database Paths If you use non-default database paths, the paths must exist on the target database servers before you install the RealPresence Media Manager software.
