  • Re: Re: NBC+Olympics+Silverlight 2.0= No Full screen mode?

    I will say, Tom is a great guy and a credit to the team as far as public relations goes, just ridiculous how honest and forthright/giving he was. All that praise aside, I still disagree with the design choices made for this project in regards to it's full screen application, and there were no technological obstacles explained to me that ...

    You can put your phone number here and I'll call it. You can send it privately if you like, also. What about these workarounds: Application.Host.Content.IsFullScreen = True ----- VB.NET Application.Host.Content.IsFullScreen = Not Application.Host.Content.IsFullScreen ----- C# Application.Host.Content.IsFullScreen != ...
  • Re: Re: NBC+Olympics+Silverlight 2.0= No Full screen mode?

    Why are you even suggesting it? Won't it ruin the design dream? Won't I have tearing and pixels? The fact that you suggest I even try is the exact SAME reason why the choice should be there in the player inherently. I run FireFox2 and I don't plan on upgrading to 3 before the Olympics are out. I shouldn't have to. Your product is ...

     So .. "blah blah blah WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT" .. USE THE SUGGESTION / WORK AROUND WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE (that was posted by someone else) AND SEE IF THAT MAYBE WORKS FOR YOU. IT'S A SHOCK TO US!    Oh, also COMPUTERS ARE COMPLICATED! We're just Microsoft, cut us a BREAK .. geez. We're tryin ...

    Agreed. I mean "I can" understand where you're coming from. 848x480 .. still trying to digest that. But when 30 min =  3 hours .. it's no wonder there's a huge disconnect. It's kind of funny in a way. To go through all this effort to create this huge disappointment. Over one feature which should have been ...
  • Re: Re: NBC+Olympics+Silverlight 2.0= No Full screen mode?

    Feel free to discuss it privately! I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I do hope you will include instructions on how I may view this material the way I would like to .. full screen! Thank You. I have to be honest, I don't care what the reasoning was behind this, I think it was a horrible choice! The functionality exists in the ...

     I can't imagine why. Go to YouTube.com and search for Olympics. In fact, search for nbcolympics.com. Full screen videos of all of the events. You don't need silverlight to see the Olympics online, thankfully. Installed and uninstalled in just a couple hours. Good job Tom and the rest of the idiots involved.
  • Re: Re: NBC+Olympics+Silverlight 2.0= No Full screen mode?

    Well, I just signed up to tell you what a stupid, horrible bad decision it was, and it completely ruined the experience of watching the Olympic games online. Thanks Tom. If I want to take it full screen that should be my choice, not a design decision on your end. This basic functionality should be enabled and embedded into the player by default. I ...
