The encoder uses the HTTP protocol to stream to the server. By default, the server uses port 80 for the HTTP protocol. If the server is configured to use a different port number, the encoder must match the port number. You can either use the format Server_name:Port_number in Server name or, if you have access permissions to the Windows Media Services service through DCOM, the port number is automatically detected.
If you want to create a publishing point from the encoder, you must have create access permissions through the WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization plug-in on the Windows Media server.
The configuration of the publishing point you specify is copied to the publishing point you are creating. If you do not specify a publishing point, the default publishing point configuration is used.
The timeout enables you to stop and then restart encoding without having to create the publishing point. This is useful, for example, if you want to adjust settings in the session and then continue encoding.
