AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR loading wmv file from Media Services

07-25-2008 8:37 AM |

Hi,

I get a System.Exception AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR when I in a simple Silverlight application try to play a wmv file located on a Windows Server 2003 with Windows Media Services.

 

The wmv file in question plays correctly in these cases:

• When it has been uploaded to silverlight.live.com for Silverlight Streaming, it plays in the Silverlight application:
• http://silverlight.services.live.com/MyId/Test/video.wmv

• When the file is located in the web site, it plays in the Silverlight application:
• http://localhost:port/WebSite1/Movie1.wmv

• In Windows Media Player in the same web site, it plays using both:
• mms://Server/PublishingPoint/Movie1.wmv
• http://server:port/PublishingPoint/Movie1.wmv.

 

I followed the advices in these posts:

• http://silverlight.net/forums/p/2914/8062.aspx
• http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/05/06/streaming-media-in-silverlight.aspx

and checked and tested the following:

• In Windows Media Services I have enabled the http control protocol at some port (8080).
• I tried running the web site in these locations, without luck:
• Visual Studio integrated web server (http://localhost:port/...)
• Local machine's IIS (http://localhost/...)
• Remote server's IIS (http://server/...
• Accessing the remote web site from a browser on the remote server

• Is it VC-1 compliant (Tim Heuer)? I don't know, but I assume it is fit for streaming when it plays correctly from Silverlight Streaming.

 

I used this code to test it:

        <MediaElement Source="http://silverlight.services.live.com/MyId/Test/video.wmv"/>

        <MediaElement Source="http://localhost:port/WebSite1/Movie1.wmv"/>

        <MediaElement x:Name="debugThis" Source="http://server:port/PublishingPoint/Movie1.wmv"/>

        <TextBlock x:Name="showDebugInfo" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>

where the reported error message came out on the event: debugThis.MediaFailed

 

I would like to hear if you have any suggestions to what might be the cause of this, and how I might solve it.

 

Cheers,

Ole

Just use mms:// should work there

By the way, please check your setting there as I posted here

Thanks for your suggestion. However, it still gives the same error message.

Does anyone have suggestions to answer my initial question above?
