Using Easy Link for Windows Media Content

Base URL
http://easylink.dynamicstreamingmedia.com/

Path
username/file.wvx or username/directory/file.wvx (You can put multiple directories after your username)

The file can be of ASF, WMV or WMA type. After you upload your Windows Media file, make sure you link correctly to it. It is recommended you alter the file extension in your "Easy Link" so your media will play correctly on the Macintosh platform. DO NOT ALTER THE ACTUAL FILE NAME, just the Easy Link to it:

Altering the link allows Macintosh computers to know this file is associated with Windows Media Player. Otherwise, the Mac doesn't know what to do with the reference file that is returned from Easy Link.

The standard way of linking to Windows Media files is the use of an ASX reference file. Since ".asx" is recognized as a Windows Media Player file, there is no need to alter the link when using ASX linking:
