Hi,

What is your security code? can you post them here, so we can use them to have a test, which will be able to help further,

Network error when using ASX with a redirected media file

I have a generate ASX file that I have some code in for security purposes, and the media url actually gets redirected to the actual media file. This has always worked perfectly in WMP, but I get a network error when doing this in Silverlight.

To give you a better idea of what I'm doing, here it is a little simplified:

asx.jsp:

<% some security code %>

<asx version="3.0">
	<entry>
		<ref href="http://server.com/wmv.jsp?securityparam=value"/>
	</entry>
</asx>

If I generate an ASX file that directly links to the actual media file it plays perfectly fine, so I'm pretty certain the issue is the redirect. Is this a known restriction in Silverlight?
