You probably need to do a lot more testing on a lot more platforms.

We've had trouble on a lot of old configurations, such as NT4.0/WMP6.4,
Windows 95/IE4/WMP6.4, Windows 98/IE5.0/WMP6.4.

We have a machine set up here with VMWare running a LOT of different
installs of Windows so we can test all our streams - some of the
configurations don't like ASXs that don't have a .asx extension, so I set up
our IIS to make .asx files scripted through the ASP.DLL - that solved some
of the problems.  Make sure your media links are direct links to the media,
not through a redirect - that screws lots of older clients too.

It doesn't work. 'System cannot find file specified'.

Hi All.
We have created a simple content management system for a client, but require
some testing.
We have a dynamic asx file created from a ASP page.  We have noticed that
some clients can't not connect to the stream when using the dynamic link.
We have also noticed in our media traffic reports that there is a high
number of unknown media formats.  The report shows wma 40%, wmv 30%, and
unknown at 30%.  I have a funny feeling that the unknown numbers are from
the clients that are having trouble with the dynamic asx links.
Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Here is the dynamic link
