Shared Playlist Object
When a broadcast publishing point is started, the content identified by the Path property on the IWMSPublishingPoint interface is streamed whether or not a client is connected to the publishing point. When a client connects, it begins receiving the stream from the current position.
Because a broadcast publishing point can only point to a specific file, stream, or directory, the URL requested by a client must be in the following form where the protocol must be http, rtsp, or mms.
protocol://server_name/publishing_point_name
If the publishing point points to a playlist file, the server creates a shared playlist object, and the media content referenced by the playlist is shared by all of the clients who connect to the broadcast publishing point.
