Play a DME Stream
DME Input and Output Stream Overview
DME input and/or output streams can be configured to play on desktops (with a variety of players), set top boxes, and mobile devices at different locations and in a variety of different physical configurations. The DME supports live RTP, Transport Stream, RTMP (Flash), HLS, and HDS streams. It also functions as a progressive download server for .wmv and other files. Stored VOD files are supported by the onboard RTP and Multi-Protocol VOD servers and added to the DME via FTP. To play these streams you will need a corresponding player. Often these players are available either as standalone players or embedded into a Web page.
