What is the difference between encoder push and encoder pull?
To accommodate the widest possible range of streaming conditions, a server running Windows Media Services 9 Series can receive content from an encoder by using two different methods: push and pull.When an encoder “pushes” content to Windows Media Services, the encoder controls the Windows Media server and the broadcast stream. The encoder can also create a new publishing point on the server and set the publishing point to delete itself when the broadcast is finished. To use the encoder to push a broadcast to a Windows Media server, the encoder administrator must have the Windows Media server name, the URL of the server, and all of the necessary permissions to access the server. Encoder push is useful for live encoding scenarios and in situations in which you must maintain control of the broadcast at the content source.When Windows Media Services “pulls” the content from an encoder, the server connects to an encoder stream that is already in progress. Encoder pull is useful if a publish
