Hi, I’ve just installed a test wowza 3 server (Linux, centos 5) to stream to mobile phones I can stream vod with HLS and RTSP on iPhones and Blackberries but I can’t stream to a Nokia Lumia (windows mobile 7.5): manifest file (XML text) is appearing on the device screen instead of video This device uses silverlight to stream video I configured the server as in quick start and user manual (using ports 1935 and 554) I’m using an url like this one: http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4/Manifest What could be wrong? Thank you Guido ---

It looks like you are typing the URI in the browser bar, which probably will not work. It needs to be played from a Smooth player. Try accessing the Wowza Smooth Streaming example (VOD) player via your device’s web browser. The Smooth player can be found here: \examples\SimpleVideoStreaming\clientOSMF\bin-release\ One way is to copy it to your web browser. ---

You might be able to do RTSP streaming to Windows mobile. And there is a mobile Silverlight SDK, but we don’t have examples built with it. Richard ---

As far as I know, Silverlight only supports Smooth Streaming Richard ---

Jaymin, I think Silverlight/smooth should work, but I don’t have Windows Phone to test. Have you tried the Wowza example smooth player? Richard ---

Jaymin, You need a Silverlight player. Test with one of the Wowza example Silverlight players in the /examples folder where Wowza is installed. Or these: Expression 4 Encoder templates [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-the-microsoft-expression-encoder4-player-templates-with-wowza-media-server](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-the-microsoft-expression-encoder4-player-templates-with-wowza-media-server) SMF Framework [http://smf.codeplex.com/releases/view/63434](http://smf.codeplex.com/releases/view/63434) Richard ---

You have to use a Silverlight player, for example: [http://smf.codeplex.com/releases/view/88970](http://smf.codeplex.com/releases/view/88970) I’m not sure if that is the latest/greatest, but it’s a place to start. Richard ---

“why is this URL working when I type it in the browser bar of my WM 7.5 Phone:” That is just a normal file download from a web server. Perhaps your device is downloading the file, then opening it? ---

Windows Phone 7 devices support Microsoft Smooth Streaming through an application. An application is available on the [Microsoft Media Platform Player Framework page](http://smf.codeplex.com/releases/view/82027#DownloadId=342641). -Lisa ---

Hi Yes, its been known to happen. I have a friend that can’t install Silverlight on his laptop running Windows XP even through everything else installs and works fine. I think its a Silverlight problem not anything that you are doing wrong. If I find a solution or a work around I’ll post in here to let you and others know. Jason ---

Thank you randall, I’ll try soon. Anyway, why is this URL working when I type it in the browser bar of my WM 7.5 Phone: [https://www.wowza.com/\_h264/BigBuckBunny\_175k.mov](https://www.wowza.com/_h264/BigBuckBunny_175k.mov) ? It’s from the wowza mobile testing page [https://www.wowza.com/html/mobile.html](https://www.wowza.com/html/mobile.html) That is the perfect solution for me. ---

Perhaps your device is downloading the file, then opening it? You’re right: that link probably points to an http (progressive) download. So I tried copying: \examples\SimpleVideoStreaming\clientOSMF\bin-release\ to my web server and accessing it with Windows Mobile 7.5 smartphone: no luck, it’s flash stuff not supported by WM. then I copied to my web server: \examples\SimpleVideoStreaming\clientSilverlight when I access Default.html a “silverlight is required, click here to install it” page appears: when I click I’m redirected to a microsoft page stating that I cannot install silverlight on my device (Nokia Lumia 710). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated… Thank you in advance Guido ---
