    Live Streaming in Silverlight

    Dec 17, 2008 09:49 PM | LINK

    Hi

    We are trying to stream videos live in Silverlight. Here is how it should work:

    A user manually logins in to the system (assuming there is a camera/webcam... connected to the system), and clicks on a button to stream live.

    During the process, we also want to know the number of users the media is streamed to, video stream length (for each end user).

    How do we achieve this?

    Hi,

    you can stream the video to the SL client using a Duplex service which periodically sends an image to the client, more information here:

    Otherwise you can use a DispatcherTimer on the client to periodically update the image.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, Davide
