Streaming Media Protocols
This policy setting allows you to specify that Windows Media Player can attempt to use selected protocols when receiving streaming media from a server running Windows Media Services. If you enable this policy setting the protocols that are selected on the Network tab of the Player are used to receive a stream initiated through an MMS or RTSP URL from a Windows Media server. If the RSTP/UDP check box is selected a user can specify UDP ports in the Use ports check box. If the user does not specify UDP ports the Player uses default ports when using the UDP protocol. This policy setting also specifies that multicast streams can be received if the “Allow the Player to receive multicast streams” check box on the Network tab is selected. If you enable this policy setting the administrator must also specify the protocols that are available to users on the Network tab. If the administrator does not specify any protocols the Player cannot access an MMS or RTSP URL from a Windows Media server. If the “Hide network tab” policy setting is enabled the entire Network tab is hidden. If you do not configure this policy setting users can select the protocols to use on the Network tab. If you disable this policy setting the Protocols for MMS URLs and Multicast streams areas of the Network tab are not available and the Player cannot receive an MMS or RTSP stream from a Windows Media server.

This policy setting allows you to specify whether network buffering uses the default or a specified number of seconds. If you enable this policy setting select one of the following options to specify the number of seconds streaming media is buffered before it is played. – Custom: the number of seconds up to 60 that streaming media is buffered. – Default: default network buffering is used and the number of seconds that is specified is ignored. The “Use default buffering” and “Buffer” options on the Performance tab in the Player are not available. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting users can change the buffering options on the Performance tab.
Hide Network Tab
This policy setting allows you to hide the Network tab. If you enable this policy setting the Network tab in Windows Media Player is hidden. The default network settings are used unless the user has previously defined network settings for the Player. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the Network tab appears and users can use it to configure network settings.
