Hi,

I’m attempting to play an RTSP audio stream from an Internet Radio station using WMS 3.5.2.

Currently I’ve at a loss as to what to do since I can’t do the conventional method of playing audio using a MediaElement, so I was wondering if anyone has done this before and if so, could throw some working code my way.

Thanks.

Also, be sure to configure for “smoothstreamingpacketizer” and you can use the example player that ships with Wowza.

here is where you will find the example player:
