Unreal Media Server

I've got a file with a mp4 file format, the video codec is avc1 and the
audio codec is mp4a, when I read the description in the configuration media server next to the file I want to play it says "format is not supported"...
I thought all these codecs and the mp4 file format were supported???
yes,no thanks.

You need to install DirectShow splitters (demultiplexors) for these media types on your server side.
You don't need decoders but you need splitters. Splitters are components responsible for extracting individual streams from container formats such as AVI, ASF, MP4 - Apple crap.

You don't have a splitter for MP4 - that's why you see "format is not supported".

However decoders and splitters usually come within the same package with popular name "codec".
Therefore you need to install MP4 codec on your server computer.
Make sure Windows Media Player plays it on your server computer, then you are OK.

Of course, you need to install MP4 codec on your client side, this time for decoding sake.
