hi,

I have 3 questions want to ask about MMSC
1) How can I store the generated SMIL by sending mms via NowSMS web interface.
2) How to I send the self edit SMIL file + media files via MM1 setting(thur operator MMSC)?
3) In the MMSC routing, is it ok to set "*" in "rounte messages to this account for receipient phone number(s)" to enable all the receipient prefix?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Jolly,

I'm sorry, but I don't really understand your questions and what you are trying to accomplish.

My guess is that what you want to do is to get a look at the SMIL file that NowSMS automatically generates when you submit an MMS message via the web interface, so that you can tweak it and resubmit the message.

The SMIL file that NowSMS generates automatically is about as basic as you can get.

Here's an example ...

<smil>
<head>
<layout>
<region id="Image" height="100%" width="100%" fit="meet"/>
<region id="Text" height="100%" width="100%" fit="scroll"/>
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par dur="3000ms">
<text src="456F338F.txt" region="Text"/>
</par>
<par dur="5000ms">
<img src="testimage.jpg" region="Image"/>
</par>
</body>
</smil>

The text file name was generated dynamically to hold text entered in the "Send MMS Message" form. But if you had attached a text file instead, it would have used that filename.

So basically, if you want to create your own SMIL file, just include it with a ".smil" extension as one of the files associated with the MMS message.

Hopefully that explanation will address your first two questions.

Regarding question 3 ...

It is ... but that is essentially the same as setting the route as the "Default Route" on the "MMSC Routing" dialog.

Thanks Bryce,

For the 2nd question, do you mean that I can just attach the SMIL file with other image and audio file in the web interface, then my smil file will override the original generated one?

That is correct Jolly.

NowSMS only generates a SMIL file if one is not included amongst the objects (files) to be included in the MMS message. If a SMIL file is already present, it will be used, and NowSMS will not automatically generate its own SMIL file.

(Note: This only applies to the web interface, proprietary URL submission and SMTP/MM4. For other interfaces, there is no automatic SMIL generation.)
