Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone has implemented a custom media player using adaptive streaming in a SL client? I have the IIS side up and running, and have deployed a test page using a player generated by Expression encoder. It performs beautifully on a hosted virtual server in the wild, although we haven't done any load testing yet. My requirement is that I have to show streaming video, but where the user doesn't have control over playing / pausing ... , therefore I don't want to show the normal player style UI. The video will be run in full screen when the user first hits a screen then will fade and keep running in the background. I haven't found a player that doesn't have a UI or lets me hide the UI. Eg http://www.openvideoplayer.com/ looks good but I couldn't work out how to hide the UI. I found the source code for one of the players -> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Encoder 2\Templates\en\SL2Standard\Source and figured out roughly how it works. The key is a project/dll AdaptiveStreaming.dll that does the hard work. I referenced AdapativeStreaming.dll and wired it up how I expected but it didn't work on my first attempt. I haven't had time to go back and look at it further, and don't expect you guys to debug my app. I am looking for advice : 1. Does anyone know of a player I can use that has no UI or the UI can be hidden? 2. Or, am I on the right track using the Encoder's AdaptiveStreaming library? 3. If the answer to 2 is Yes, Is it legal for me to use the AdaptiveStreaming library? I expect so, given the source code is distributed but thought I would ask. Cheers.
