Help needed: WAX, ASX, WSX metafiles don;t work on Host streamer

[JIm Sutton]

I am trying to post newly encoded files onto a streamer
server for time shifted rebroadcast. This is my first
time encountering encoding/streaming/playlist issues.

The hoster I am trialing for On-Demand streaming services
suggests WAX files should reside on the client side and
WSX files on the server side.

I have been unable to get basic ASX or WAX metafiles as
described in the KB article to work from his server. I
get a "file not found" error message after the media
player launch and the metafile name appears inside the
media player.

mms://64.202.98.36/NNKOL/w0218043.wma works

I am trying to get a playlist functionality to link a
couple encoded files into a continuous or end-end stream.

I've been loading
http://64.202.98.36/NNKOL/wtr.wax

into my browser to test it. It does not work with the
error message returned above.

wtr.wax contains:

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="http://64.202.98.36/NNKOL/w0218043.wma" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

DOES NOT WORK.

All thoughts and solutions appreciated.

As documented in MSDN articles, my IE browser does not
launch stream sessions using HHTP, it only begins
downloads. Only MMS: works for me.

The Stream Hoster seems to have clarified that the WAX/ASX
files on used in my HTML files on the CLIENT side and
should reside in client side web files. Ok, understanding
that and creating test, the ref href name.WAX line onlly
result in a new browser window opening and some title text
written on screen. Hoster indicates this is sign that my
APACHE webserver is interpreting the WAX files as text,
not WM files. I have added the WM MIME types where I can
in the Control panel but same result occurs.
