IE8.0 - another bizarre behaviour

I am not sure I can reproduce this. I was browsing a page on my IIS when this one popped out. The
page had some simple CSS decorated text.
Well, IE 8.0 is also very slow. Open three tabs and you are stuck for a while.

Adobe Media Player and IIS - Part 2

It looks like Adobe Media Player does rely on Port 80.  But can it be changed to use another port?
Review the following:

RTMP short for Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is Adobe's proprietary protol for streaming audio, video and data over the internet for connections between a Flash player(Adobe Media Player) and a server.

Adobe Media Player & Internet Information Services

Recently I installed Adobe Media Player and after that my IIS stopped working. I suspect that Adobe Media Player has hijacked the IIS default port 80.

The error I get is typical when there is a port conflict. The "Unexpected Error 0x8ffe2740 Occurred" message.

In order to test the possibility I changed the Default Web Site listening port from 80 to 81 and immediately I could start IIS.

If I want to keep Adobe Media Player which I like, I should configure it to use a different port as I want my IIS continue with what it was originally configured for.

Adobe Media Player - very, very cool

Adobe Media Player is a cool media player with a small foot print (little bigger than WMP). It is quite dazzling in its capabilites and it's free. You can watch vidoes from an infinite number of categories including TV film clips. You can add videos you have taken to your own personal video colletion and play them at a flick of a button. You can also delete them if you don't like. There is both a classic navigation for playing videos . You select on the left pane and play the selected on the right pane. You can also download or view the ones that are updated regularly. Pick and choose and add it to your favorites.

Get your own Adobe Media Player. If you have used only Windows Media Player you will see the difference right away. Of course Silvelight will challenge it in a big, big way but it is still a work in progress. Adobe Media Player has the finished look and feel of a product.

Adobe Media Player download brings in a ~2.5 MB adobe_media_player.air installer program. You double click this file to begin installing. One thing to note is that you give up your whole machine internals to the program, the player will have access to anything on your computer.


Watch:  System Access Unrestricted
