I have a SilverLight application hosted on a page using the http scheme. The application plays mms streams of video I have on Akamai. When I change the scheme to https, streaming fails. From what I understand, this is standard behavior for SilverLight. Is this likely to change in the near future, or would I be better building out a Flash application and using FLV?
I do not have the option to use http to host the SilverLight application as the player page is in a frameset that uses https for the outer frame, and using mixed-mode means end-users are annoyed by the IE pop-ups.

Hi Natoslug,
Actually, to the server, http and https visit are two different visits. Therefore, steaming will be finished in this condition.

As far as know, currently, no such plan now.
Best regards,

Thank you. So for pay-per-view apps, it sounds like we are better off avoiding SilverLight and Windows Media for now if the requirements are for streaming rather than progressive downloads. From what I gathered on the forums earlier, DRM isn't as straightforward under SilverLight as it could be, so that isn't an option either.
