Hello All, In this short, 5 minute video I show you how to stream adaptive video to your iPhone or iPad device using IIS7 and HTML5. This article asumes you have an IIS7 website setup on your local machine and know how to get to it: http://LocalHost/ It also assumes you have Expression Encoder 4 Pro. So, if you have these then let’s get busy and stream some video to your Apple devices!

August 31st, 2010 on 8:58 pm Hello there. I am new to streaming to Apple Devices and I absolutely love your tutorial.
I am NOT at all familiar with Windows Server 2008.
It took me a long time to add all the necessary roles that I see based upon your demo. I still am not able to get the “MOBILE DEVICES” tab to show up when I click on “Live Smooth Streaming Publishing POint”.
My 2008 server was a clean install, so I am assuming you added a “Role” or something similar.
It looks like I have IIS6 maybe?!?! not sure… When I try to download IIS MEdia Services 4.0 Beta 1 – it tells me that I have Media Services 3.0.
I have no idea what I need to do – i thought 2008 server had IIS7 already. But I guess not. Please help.
Can you help me out? Just point me on the direction/software I need in order for that tab to show up?
I am running

Good luck! Victor
