Roku Developer Program

[Wallycode]

Hello, I've set up a IIS7 server and encoded over 100 movies with Microsoft Encoder.
My output format is IIS Smooth Streaming - VC-1 Advance - Audio: WMA Professional - Does Roku support VC-1 and WMA Professional ?

I've have tried encoding IIS Smooth Streaming using H264 - Main, Audio: AAC-LC - But that didn't seem to work.

Next I tried to take a stream from the play ready site: It seems I can only play the mp4 files and none of the ISM files.

I downloaded the lasted SDK, but I don't see a special player for Smooth Streaming. Right now I'm just using the "videoplayer" that came with the SDK tool kit.

Developing on Roku 2 box with Version 5.0

Here is my xml file, maybe there is something wrong:

Thanks

I believe streamFormat needs to be specified outside of the <media> element. Move it up to the same level as <contentQuality> and try again. Roku defaults to MP4 for StreamFormat, which would explain why it's working for those files.

Thank you, you nailed it. That was a big help! Thanks
