I didnt find out how to make a new topic (please tell me how) so I will post 2 issues with the WMV player here.

First: great work! I am amazed My files do play, and I could remove the damn windows media player plugin (lol).

Question 1:
The flashvar showicons=false doesn't work. Even not in the demo / example.

Question 2:
I have the domains www.shaddyshow.com and developer.shaddyshow.com. I have placed all 3 files (js + xaml) in a directory at www.shaddyshow.com and in the html file I have set a GLOBAL link via http://www.shaddyshow.com/addons/.... This works when opening the player from www.shaddyshow.com - but when I open it from developer.shaddyshow.com I just get a white box...
I worked around it by putting the xaml file in BOTH domains and linking the xaml file not crossdomain but just like var src = 'wmvplayer.xaml'. That works fine. Is that a bug? Why dioes the src var doesnt seem to eat a HTTP link?

The first one is definetily a bug. Will fix in the next release.

As to the second one, this is a standard policy of browsers when working with javascript. Crossdomain scripting isn't allowed. So you indeed have to have the files placed on both domains. It's a pity, since the embedding of Flash on other sites is one of its cool features Silverlight is still missing.

I agree that it is a shame that Silverlight is missing an easy embed feature.

You can do some awesome stuff using the JW Media Player regarding embedding and playlists that you can't do easily with the JW WMV Player (through no fault of Jeroen)...

Looks like I will simply have to leave out the embedding feature for my streaming WMV files for now (which work really great otherwise)...

I rigged together a system to allow users to embed JW WMV Player easily into their blogs.

Make a page that can take the location of a WMV file from a query string and use that for the "file" location in the JW WMV Player. Set this page's body margin and padding to 0 using CSS.

Then, users can use an iframe with the src attribute set to the dynamic URL to easily embed your JW WMV Player video into their page.

It is sloppy, but it works...

It's sloppy indeed, but it is the way all Microsoft sites and blogs also offer Sliverlight 'embeds' ...
