Having Hosting Issue with Uploading Videos

Hi All,

I've been trying for two days to upload a video file to the silverlight.live.com.  I thought it had something to do with the release of 2.0, so I uninstalled my betas, and did a fresh install of Silverlight 2.0.

The problem is that I log into silverlight.live.com fine, then go to the video upload browse button and nothing happens, it's apparently disabled.

 Any insights would be appreciated,

 Thanks,

John.

Re: Having Hosting Issue with Uploading Videos

I can confirm that it does indeed seem to be diasbled at the moment.Possible because of some sort of upgrade to go along with announcements at the PDC?  (I am just guessing here)

The site does appear to be using an obsolete version of Silverlight, which is pretty surprising.

I guess the answer is to check back tomorrow and see it has been fixed, unless there is someone from MS here who can offer more information?

Here's the answer from: http://dev.live.com/blogs/sls/archive/2008/10/27/422.aspx 

 

Silverlight Streaming will be upgraded shortly to Silverlight 2 RTW

As you have undoubtedly noticed, the Silverlight Streaming service has not yet been upgraded to work with Silverlight 2 RTW. This will be done shortly. Until this work is completed, here is a short FAQ about the side effects:

  • Silverlight Streaming will work with Silverlight 1 and Silverlight 2 Beta 2 only
  • The Silverlight Streaming upload stack relies on a Silverlight control, so the Browse button will be disabled if you have Silverlight 2 RTW onlyour machine
  • This will be true for both the Manage Applications and Manage Videos scenarios

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay, and are working to perform the upgrade as soon as possible.

Re: Having Hosting Issue with Uploading Videos

They are upgrading this morning:

http://dev.live.com/blogs/sls/archive/2008/10/31/426.aspx 

Silverlight Streaming service upgrade

 

Microsoft Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live will be in maintenance mode this morning (between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM PST) as we perform the upgrade to make it work with Silverlight 2 RTW bits. While we have no planned outage during this maintenance period, you may experience some intermittent timeouts as we cycle the servers out and back in rotation (half of them first, then the other half).

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you again for you continued support and usage of this service.

The outcome of the upgrade is that Silverlight Streaming will work with Silverlight 2 apps using the RTW bits. It will no longer work with Silverlight 2 apps using the Beta 2 bits, so please make sure to update such apps, if you have any hosted in SLS.

The upgrade will not affect your Silverlight 1 apps hosted in SLS.
