Microsoft Media Server  protocol is Microsoft's proprietary network streaming protocol.

And runs on Windows Media server. Its quite wizzy actually, I webcast Insomniacz with one once.

[Bubba]

Never knew it existed - is it supposed to be an alternative to real stuff?

What sort of night was Insomniacz Dobbin?

[dobbin]

Yeah, and for once it comes free out of the box with Windows 2000 server and up. You can host Windows Media files on an on demand basis on a normal HTTP server but the Windows media protocols allow you to do things like Multicasts - so as to limit your bandwidth utilisation if you have many clients. I ran a limited pilot here for business television with great success.

InsomniacZ was (is) Sheffield's legendary hard house club, it started as a carry on from Gatecrasher when that was in its hey day and used to run out of Uropa (across the road from GC) from 4am - 12 on Sunday mornings. I went to the first and then every week thereafter for months. Then it moved to Corporation, hard house went from the bouncy to the dark and I got back into climbing. As I understand it Insoms is back in sheffield on a monthly basis and every week in Brum.

Ah, the folly of youth.

Where Rotherham's own Tidy Trax DJs (aka Jive Bunny) played a lot? Shame i never got round to going.

[dobbin]

Yeah, thats the one. I can't understand how I could stomach such hideous childish hell music.

That site is pretty funny - must have taken them ages to do that....
