asp_web_howto thread: How to write ASP to execute remote command from client to WinNT IIS4.0
Hello,
Currently I am trying to figure out how can I send a 'ALT-A' command to a
client running Windows Media Encoder. The scenerio is as follows: -
Client ---> WinNT IIS ---------> Windows Media Encoder
(Simple webpage) (Running Unisyn Automate4)
When a client machine access the IIS, a webpage will be shown with various
audio channel for selection. When you click on 1 of the link, Windows
Media player will execute on the client machine, playing the streamed
audio.
As the Windows Media Encoder has only 1 sound card and 1 tuner card, I
installed Automate4 from Unisyn to change audio channel using Hotkeys, eg,
ALT-A will bring you to Radio 1, ALT-B will bring you to Radio 2 etc.
Hence whenever the client user wants to change Audio stream, he/she will
just have to click on the Audio link on the webpage. The problem now is,
how can the client user trigger the 'ALT-A' to the Windows Media Encoder
wkstation? I have tried using WMI's exec.vbs with no success. Is there any
program or language that can be written on a webpage and when the user
clicks it, it actually sends the command back to the webpage host to
trigger the channel change?
Sorry for my inadequate knowledge but I do hope to make it work.
Please help... Thank you very much
