  Silverlight Mediaplayer - Hiding Mediasource URL

  Jul 09, 2009 02:12 PM | LINK

   hi all, I've got a vb.net web page with a SL mediaplayer on the page:

  
  

  <asp:MediaPlayer ID="MediaPlayer1" runat="server" Height="480px" Width="640px" 
          AutoLoad="true" AutoPlay="true" MediaSkinSource="~/Simple.xaml" 
          ScaleMode="none" Windowless="True"></asp:MediaPlayer>

    and I'm dynamically setting the mediasource in the code behind page:

  MediaPlayer1.MediaSource  = myStreamingVideoUrl

  This works fine and displays the video correctly, however  I'm trying to  hide the URL of the video file on the server but the source of the page displays this section in the bottom of the page:

   

   

  <script type="text/javascript">
  //<![CDATA[
  Sys.Application.initialize();
  Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
      $create(Sys.UI.Silverlight.MediaPlayer, {"autoPlay":true,"mediaSource":"http://streaming.myserver.co.uk/134342686.wmv","source":"Simple.xaml"}, null, null, $get("ctl00_contentPlaceHolderBody1_MediaPlayer1_parent"));
  });
  //]]>
  </script>
  

    I can't find any way around it!!

   

  I'm using urlrewriting on the page to disguise ?id=12123123 as a more practical URL so I tried to d ot he same with this URL but it doesn't work.

   does anyone know of a way to hide the URL??

   

  The only option I've come up with is to write a seperate public facing webservice which will take a code fomr this page and return a video file thus hiding the server URL friom this mediaplayer.

  I am using streaming video so it is relatively safe from stealing the video, but I'd still like to be able to hide the server URL
