hi,
I have set up streaming using Silverlight and an MMS feed. This works as expected on any Windows platform, but the video does not play on OSX with Firefox or Safari and Silverlight 2.0 latest plugin.
My MediaElement is declared as follows:
<MediaElement AutoPlay="True" x:Name="video" Source="{Binding videoUrl}" Height="320" Width="430" ></MediaElement>
I thought this should be straight forward and one of the key benefits using Silverlight. My students using Macs can´t read our mms feeds and I´d hoped Silverlight was one possible cure.
Anyone with similar problems ? Any ideas ?
Knut

Not all the OSX supports Silverlight.
Under Mac OS 10.4.8+ (PowerPC) works only Silverlight 1.0 applications ( 2.0 will not run ).
Under Mac OS 10.4.8+ (Intel-based) works both 1.0 and 2.0 Silverlight.
Others OSX doesn’t support it.
Or maybe your students didn’t install Silverlight on their Macs? =)

I ran the Silverlight page from my home on a Mac/OSX system, and belive it or not It worked ! So there are most likely some firewalled ports her at the college which confuses me and make this fail on Macs. The strange thing however is that The Silverlight page works on a Windows system here at college, but not on a Mac. I will talk to the firewall guy here to try to solve the problem, thanks for your input.

Try using http as the protocol or specify the http protocol port in the link to your stream (i.e. mms://servername:port/filename). I don't think Silverlight provides support for mms using the default mms port. Either way, http should be used to reference wmv files on a wmv server.
