The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft NetShow Theater Server 3.0
- Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1
This article was previously published under Q193524 IMPORTANT: This article provides information about a product that is no longer supported by Microsoft Technical Support. This article is provided for informational purposes only; Microsoft makes no guarantee that this configuration will function properly. SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to render an MPEG stream from a NetShow Theater Server
using the Windows Media Player, the following error occurs:
A device attached to the system is not functioning. (Error:8007001F)
Media Player cannot open 'nsm://server_name/demo.mpg'. Please verify
that the path and filename are correct and try again. (Error:8007001F).
CAUSE
This error may be caused by an attempt to render a NetShow Theater Server
stream using a Windows Media Player that is installed on one of the same
NetShow Theater Server systems providing the MPEG stream to the rendering
client.
You cannot use the Windows Media Player to render a stream to the same
server with the Media Player installed. This is not supported.
RESOLUTION
The Windows Media Player must be installed on a separate system from all
of the other Theater Server systems that are providing the same stream to
the rendering client. This rendering client system must be separate from
any of the NetShow Theater Server systems, such as the Title Server,
Content Servers, or the development system of a combined Title/Content
Server.
