Receive Multicast ASF Sample

This sample shows how to receive a multicast ASF broadcast. See below for information about the ASX file needed.

The sample.asx file must contain a valid URL that points to the NSC file that defines the multicast. A typical .asx file might contain:

[Announcement]
Channel URL=http://HTTPSRV/sample.nsc#1
[Description]
Program Title=My Program
Program Author=My Name
Program Description=My Program
Program Copyright=1997

Change HTTPSRV to the name of the HTTP server where the .nsc file is stored. The .nsc file defines the multicast address and port to listen to, as well as other relevant information needed to play the incoming stream. Make sure to append the version number of the channel to the Channel URL.
