Selecting content playback options
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
You have the following content playback options:
Loop. Select Loop to set the publishing point to play continuously. For an on-demand publishing point, the stream will repeat until stopped by the player or until the player disconnects. For broadcast publishing points, the stream will repeat until stopped by the server administrator.
Shuffle. Select Shuffle to set the contents of the publishing point to play in random order without repeating.
Selecting both of these options will provide continuous, randomized playback of the content specified by this publishing point, creating a user experience similar to a 24-hour unattended radio station.
Note
You can change these settings after your publishing point is created by using the property sheet for the WMS Playlist Transform plug-in, which can be accessed on the Properties tab of your publishing point. These settings only apply to publishing points that are streaming content from a playlist or a directory that contains more than one entry or digital media file.
