Silverlight v2 of JV_WMV

Jeroen,

Can u als check the support for .mp3 streaming and .asx support (loaded as a file?). Cuz i have been playing around with silverlight and found out that both .mp3 streaming and asx is supported by silverlight. with loading .asx as a file i mean i have a playlist with some items, 1 or more being asx files. This asx files tries to connect to different streams (which is ok and expected).

With regards,

Guru

@Guru - .asx is a playlist format...

@ Andersen - I am pretty aware of that... But some house stations do use a .asx to tune in to them cause they first play a welcome message and then let a dj stream on stream1 then next dj on stream2, next dj back on stream1. If i make a basic silverlight page with in the multimedia element the .asx as source it does play and respond as expected. But i still want this station to display as 1 station in my own playlist. Cuz i want to list multiple stations. So i want to list multiple stations which can have a .asf source a mp3 source or a .asx source (all being streams). For now the player does not play the .mp3 and .asx streams, while i test it with a minimum silverlight setup it in fact does. And yes i'm still pretty aware that .asx is not a stream but a client side script that plays/connects to streams described in the .asx. But a lot of house stations use the .asx to play welcome message and then connect to the stream which in fact can vary. I don't want to show this .asx as a playlist but just in fact just play it. Maybe i'm in a pretty strange environment, but for house radio stations it is pretty commom to use several streams to let the streaming dj's take over from each other, with using the .asx 1 dj can stop streaming while another 1 is streaming on the other channel, the .asx is repeating to try to play the channels and automatically connects to the other dj.

hi JeroenW,

can you please post a possible date for the wmv-player v.2 release?

Silverlight 2 Beta 2 works fine witch JW WMV player in all IE, Firefox 3, Opera 9.5 and Safari.

Pls, update wizard for JW WMV player, or write advanced script code.

Thx, rik

yes maybe, but it is still a v1 application and I think all the new features in v2 (like serverside playlists) didn´t work with the wmv-player

I don't know yet when I'll work on a Silverlight 2 player. There's little demand for SL when compared to Flash, and the 2.0 plugin is still in beta. It is on the radar, but 'not yet':

hi JeroenW

thx for your answer.

can you give me some hints where I can/should try to tweak/modify the player that streaming will work?

the player connects already to the windows media server publishing point (I see the incoming connection and also the spectator count sets +1) but he plays no video.

viper[at]hltv[dot]at

please, do it least script - import another playlist/item in WMV (Silverlight 2) player.

thx, rik

hi again,

it´s now possible (for me) to play/view live sources like mms://server:88/pubpoint or http://server:88/pubpoint
this pubpoints can be everything (a singe file, a *.wsx playlist or a livestream (pull / push from a win media encoder)

it was necessary to change/set the silverlight version in the *.js file to the v2beta2 versionnumber and to change die WM-Http port (windows media server), with the std. value 80 it did not work at all.

there is now only one but i posted @ http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=11836
( uncaught exception: Error setting property on scriptable plugin object! [plugin exception: AG_E_RUNTIME_SETVALUE : Canvas.Left]. )
the player tries to set something, but while playing source from a windows media server it raises a lot of this errors

//edit1
I already find the reason, it´s the remaining time (not available at a live source)
function: onTime: function(elp,dur) {

//edit 2
sry for my posts, also see http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=9359

Hi all

Does Image Rotator support Silverlight?

No, not supported.

Does this player support Silverlight v2 BETA that is available? I'm running Firefox v3 (which isn't compatible with Silverlight v1) but this player won't my videos using the current player.

Seems like the remaining-time issue is fixed in the 1.1 player.

A SL2 version of the player is not in the pipeline yet. The current one is SL1.

on the wiki roadmap , I see 31/12 is the V2 release - is this date looking realistic?

Help!
Just received 'Holiday Discount' email - 50% off - but really need to know likely timescale for SL2 version as it has the features we need.

Any news?

It's not really realistic. A SL2 version of the player isn't going to appear anytime soon I'm afraid, since there's so much more requests for specific Flash features than Silverlight in general.

hey guys,

I know silverlight 2 is not in development yet but i'm getting lots of emails from users complaning saying that when they install silverlight to use my player they get message saying that our player is not silverlight 2.0... is that a way to prevent this message from popping up?

cheers,
dan

Maybe I got lucky, but the 1.1 player works fine with Silverlight 2 on my machines. Also works well with Moonlight, although there are occasional bugs with seeking in a video...

How can I have 2 or more playlist to choose from?
I set up JV_WMV player for Silverlight and works great.
but I would like to have the option to pick different playlist.

I'm recording short video everyday of the week. and I'd like to separate them per day. any solution will be good for me. I try to avoid to create one whole webpage per list.
I follow this sample " http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/silverlight/wmvplayer/wmvplaylist.htm " a JW WMV Player with a playlist.

Thanks

So Silverlight 3 is now out, yet the player is still for 1.1...

Will the WMV player ever be updated? Will we ever be able to have plugins and more features??

I see that there is no update for the silverlight player. As the current one no longer functions, I will have to resort to simply embedding windows media and abandon this player (that was oh so wonderful when it worked);

I'll keep checking back. Sorry to see it go away.

Beth - what is wrong with the current version?

Hi,

You should download http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-wmv-player/ and play around with it, it comes with a readme file showing example embed code.

Hi Ethan,

I would like to embed a playlist in Silverlight player too. Andersen Web http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/silverlight/wmvplayer/wmvplaylist.htm is broken. Could some please send me the code ( josew82@hotmail.com ) needed to make a playlist or at least post a link which has it embeded in silverlight player?.

Thanks

E-Mail me at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com, thanks.

Any chance of an updated version of the silverlight player coming? Silverlight 4 had been released and it'd be great if the player for it is up to bar with the flash counterpart.

Any news on whether there'll be an updated Silverlight version? Demand for Silverlight is increasing (as the blog comments show)... thanks!

Hello.

Anybody knows how enable double click full screen in silverlight player for live stream?

I got mms live streaming working perfect but when I do one click in the image, stream is lost and I need refresh the webpage to see again the stream.

Anybody?

All variables for this player are here - http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/SilverlightVars

There is no Double Click to Full Screen method available, unfortunately.

Will the Silverlight player support plug-ins at some point?

Is development continuing on the JW Silverlight player?

Thanks!

Hi Kent,

Maybe at some point, but for the time being, most of the focus is geared towards HTML5, and Flash.

Best,
-Ethan
