The official link is dead! It takes us to MicroSoft's official site and shows a download of a PDF informing that they retired this obsolete server. However, it is this software which is mentioned but rather Windows Server - the OS!

Hi there.

I have just updated the link and the description: Windows Media Services was not supported on Windows Server 2012 and it was replaced by IIS Media Services.

Thank you for reporting :)

What is IIS Media Services?

IIS Media Services, an integrated HTTP-based media delivery platform, delivers true HD (720p+) live and on-demand streaming, DVR functionality, and real-time analytics support to computers, TVs, and mobile devices. By offering a complete multi-format media delivery platform and a proven web server, highly immersive websites can now be managed from a single web platform: IIS.

Playing On-Demand Smooth Streaming enables uninterrupted streaming to Silverlight and other clients via HTTP, up to true HD (720p+). The quality level for each user seamlessly shifts as needed to adapt to changing bandwidth and playback conditions.

Analytics Measure and then monetize your IIS-delivered media experiences with customizable client and server data, and share that information in real-time with a third-party analytics service, using Advanced Logging.

Convert with Ease Whether you need to convert either full media libraries or a steady flow of incoming files, let Transform Manager automate the job submission, scheduling, management, media transcoding, and encryption.

Perfect Control Server-based Web Playlists enables you to protect, personalize, and monetize your progressively downloaded media assets across multiple media formats.

Playing Live Live Smooth Streaming provides massive scalability, full DVR controls, and extended engagement times for PCs, Macs, set-top boxes, and mobile devices – including support for Apple devices.

Scale to the edge Users have a better experience when your web and media content is close to them, so use Application Request Routing on your edge servers to provide proxying and disk-based edge caching.

Progressive downloads Bit Rate Throttling increases scalability for progressive downloads while reducing bandwidth costs by intelligently detecting and metering media files.
