No Sample Single Video Player in Flash

05-01-2007 3:47 PM |

Hello. I am quite disappointed that there is no sample for a Single Video Player with Fullscreen and Time controls in the Beta Gallery or SDK. I am not a coder and I tried to put the Video player jukebox sample as it is with all the files on my linux php hosting, but the Video player does not load on the Default.html page. Another sample TileText works fine on my server. In the firefox js error console, the Video player gives the error Sys.Silverlight has no properties, Default.html.js on line 38 and line 16.

I then downloaded the Expression Encoder and encoded and tried to upload the videos with the players exactly as they has been outputted. But again on my linux php server, all Default.html of all players I tried is giving the error: EmePlayer is not defined, Line 11 in player.js and a.beginUpdate is not a function, Line 5 in MicrosoftAjax.js. The player is appearing now but no video. Same problem in IE. It does'nt look to be easy for the novice to even embed a simple video like it is for flash.

If it is going to become so diffcult to embed a simple video inline, I doubt if SilverLight will become popular. The QuickStart instructions and docs are for advanced guys but what about 80% of the crowd who just want to embed a video in a video player with Silverlight. There is no even a sample for that in the beta nor even in the new alpha.

I have also noticed the number of js files have increased in this beta version. This again makes things complicated for those who want to embed a simple video in a video player. I think one or two js files should be maximum for embedding a single video. The version should slow for that. Otherwise the simplicity is lost.

Will the Beta player be automatically upgraded to the next beta or rc or final version of Silverlight when it is released? Will the code again change for the next beta like it changed from the feb CTP? The new alpha is 4+ MB is size as it as more features. But I want to know about there will be one or two versions of SilverLight finally as it is a little confusing. Thanks.

Bump. Any replies to this question? Where can I get the code and sample of a single Silverlight Video player with fullscreen option and if possible time controls too for the main Beta 1.0 version? Please someone. I can't do it on my own. Sad
