Hi ,

Yeah , the firewall wall in Windows XP seems to be the main problem for getting accelerated Windows media to work. I have read:
   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827562

Do we need to open up all the ports decribed in the abowe URL or can you be more specific as to whats going on between the Sun-Ray firmware based codec and the windows media player. Now, it seems to be a little easier for my VBox3 Virtual windows XP SP3 machine to start accelerated Windows Media playing if the brower used is firefox. Is it possible that the " MMR SUNflash thing" that loads together with IE8 is in someway making it more difficult for the " MMR windows Media thing " to start concurrently . When using both IE8 and Windows Media player we seem to have two "MMR" pieces of code loaded. do they interfere with each other ?

Hi Lars,

What type of files are you trying to play? There are some size limitations on the supported files described in the docs.

Does this happen with the sample fines included with the Windows media component installer as well? They are in the same place where the installer is.

Another thing to check that firewalls can block accelerated multimedia streaming. An easy test is to turn off the firewall to eliminate this.

However using the same setup and trying to use accelerated Microsoft Video WMV files does not work the windows Media player freeze up and the uttsc connection to the windows XP machine seem to crash.

Windows Media acceleration works with the VDI3 set of software , i tested last week at a customersite.

Which Version of Virtualbox should I use for SRS5 and windows XP media acceleration ?
