Description%1 packets were lost while archiving.
Event InformationAccording to Microsoft :
Cause :
This event is logged when the packets were lost while archiving.
Resolution :
Increase available system memory for archiving
Increase the amount of system memory available for the Windows Media Services process (wmserver.exe).
Note : If the archived stream is interrupted by packet loss for a period greater than two seconds, the plug-in will stop archiving and begin archiving to a new file when the stream resumes. The presence of several small archive files in the archive directory is an indication that packet loss occurred while archiving.
Verify :
To verify that the output from your live broadcast is being archived correctly to a file in the archive directory, set up a Play While Archiving configuration in Windows Media Services to allow a test client to read from the archive file as the Windows Media server writes to it.
To view the archive file in Windows Media Player:
  1. If you want to view the file by using Windows Media Player on the computer that is running Windows Media Services, you must install Desktop Experience.
  2. On the Windows Media server, open Windows Media Services. To open Windows Media Services, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Windows Media Services.
  3. In the console tree, click the publishing point that sources from the archive file.
  4. In the details pane, click the Announce tab, and then, in Connect to a unicast stream, note the value of the URL that a client can use to access the content.
  5. Start Windows Media Player on a computer that can access the stream, and enter the URL that you noted in the previous step. You should be able to view the archived broadcast from the beginning of the event; however, you will not be able to fast forward or rewind the content until archiving stops.
