New Post: Differences between projects

RaYWoLF — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:53:53 GMT

I have tested the source code and I can see that there are 4 different projects:

- MediaControl

- VideoPlayer

- VideoPlayer-min

- VideoPlayerThemed

What are the differences between them?

Finally I found the solution in this post: http://forums.silverlight.net/t/29237.aspx/1

I was facing an issue while binding Image URL to an Image in Silverlight app. I solved it by publishing the application to IIS instead of running it from the file system . Refer to my blog for more details http://nileshgule.blogspot.com/2011/06/ngtweet-part-5-big-bang-refactoring.html

Using the source code I have been able to do this with a few minor changes. Here's the steps I followed:

1. Created a subfolder on my project called "VideoPlayer" and copied all the source code (EXCEPT for the App.xaml.xs) from the VideoPlayer (or VideoProject- min) project here.

2. Copy the Application_Startup "foreach" code block and FormatUri() methods from the player's App.xaml.cs to my App.xaml.cs. I don't think the
HtmlPage.RegisterScriptableObject line is needed since the only scriptable method (Player.SeekPlayback) isn't called from a script that I can see.

3. Copy\set the initParams in my HTMLtag:

4. To avoid confusion with my Page I renamed the VideoPlayer's Page to Player

* Renamed Page.xaml to Player.xaml (renames .xaml.xs as well).
* Changed x:Class="VideoPlayer.Page" to x:Class="VideoPlayer.Player" in Player.xaml
* Changed Page : UserControl to VideoPlayer : UserControl in Player.xaml.cs
* Changed Page() to VideoPlayer() in Player.xaml.cs
* After doing the above and compiling I was able to add a "Player" custom control to my page via Expression Blend, which nicely adds in the xmlns declaration.

5. Changed all references from "App" to "Application" in Player.xaml.cs, otherwise I had compile errors.

6. In order to make this control more usuable for my project, I added a few utility methods, shown below. I think all the media control functionality could\should be exposed, but that's just my opinion.

Play\Stop is so my application can start\stop the video programatically.

Mediacontrol.xaml.cs
public void Play() { btnPlay.IsChecked = true; }
public void Stop() {
btnPlay.IsChecked = false;
_media.Position = new TimeSpan(0);
}

Player.xaml.cs
public void Play() { mediaControls.Play(); }
public void Stop() { mediaControls.Stop(); }

MediaReady event is so to enable\disable an external play button (initially the video player is hidden in my application).

public event EventHandler MediaReady;
private void mediaPlayer_MediaOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
if (this.MediaReady != null)
MediaReady(this, new EventArgs());
}

in Player.Page_Loaded() I added:
mediaPlayer.MediaOpened += new RoutedEventHandler(mediaPlayer_MediaOpened);

I know that this thread is quite old, but maybe somebody can help me... I have integrated the control into my Silverlight 3 Application following this instructions. Everything seems to work OK (I can see the player on my app), but when I try to set the Source property of the mediaPlayer, MediaFailed event is fired with this exception message "AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR".

Any idea?

liangchao — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:56:36 GMT

When we clicked the pause button and restart it using the PlayIcon which in the center of the player, it will play back and then go on playing.

I have debugged it ,fortunately, I found that there is a redudant code in the function called CenterPaly().Delete btnPlay_Checked(this, null),the bug is resolved.

New Post: Centering video vertically

faxedhead — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 06:29:18 GMT

Just a FYI in case others run into this issue.

Out of the box, my video was docked to the top of the browser window, with a large black region left under the video (the webpage is just this silverlight control, set to width/height=100%). It is nicer to have the video centered in the middle of the screen, to fix this, I had to download the source code and change the VerticalAlignment of the StackPanel that contains the MediaElement in Page.xaml from Stretch to Center.

New Post: mp4 h.264 outside ClientBin

faxedhead — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 02:20:01 GMT

I have the same problem (playing MP4 on another website in silverlight). I added a mime type for .mp4 as 'video/mp4' to my IIS webserver (7.5), but still get the same error. If i put the http address of the mp4 directly in the browse, I get a prompt to download the file, so at least the URL is correct. Anything else I can check?

New Post: mp4 h.264 outside ClientBin

EpiniX — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:04:31 GMT

Damn, i was probably tired :)

The problem was because my IIS webserver doesn't have MIME type for mp4 so can't allow access to such file until i create the MIME type in it.

New Post: mp4 h.264 outside ClientBin

EpiniX — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:18:53 GMT

Hi all,

I'm trying to use this app with video i've recorded.

My problem is about directory and video format file :

WMV :
- file inside ClientBin : working
- file outside ClientBin : working
- file on another website : working
MP4 (H.264) :
- file inside ClientBin : working
- file outside ClientBin : not working
- file on another website : not working

i just wonder why for the mp4 file format, it can't be loaded as well as a wmv file when on the asp.net file i write :

<asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server"
    Source="~/ClientBin/VideoPlayer.xap"
    MinimumVersion="2.0.31005"
    Width="455" Height="305" InitParameters="m=http://storage.epinix.net/006.mp4" />

In addition, i have this error with the mp4 file trying to be loaded :

Erreur : Sys.InvalidOperationException: MediaError error #4001 in control 'ctl00_CPHMain_Xaml1': AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR

If someone has a hint or a solution, i searched already on this forum without success.

Thanks for any help :-)

New Post: How to play media hosted on the same server as the SL app?

enalposi — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:00:59 GMT

Hi,

SVP is working fine, thanks! We can play files from ClientBin or using a HTTP URL.

Is there a simple way to reference a file hosted on the server the SL app is originating from (i.e. media in a <proj>.Web/media folder)?

We want to avoid hard-coding the URL. It should dynamically work, regardless if deployed in Dev env or Prod.

Thanks!

New Post: bug on the controls bar

vezz — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 08:23:10 GMT

Hello,
first of all thank you for sharing this player. It allowed me to learn a lot of stuff about silverlight.

I found a small bug with controls bar.

Steps to reproduce: set autohide=true, move mouse on video then move mouse out of video before control bar reach its final position. Now control bar won't autohide anymore.
To make it autohide again you have to use some of the controls (i.e. change the volume).

Workaround: hide control bar with javascript if it's visible for more than x seconds.

var visicount=0;

function hidecontrols() {
    player=document.getElementById('VideoPlayer');
    player.content.findName("PlayIcon").Visibility = "Collapsed";
    player.content.findName("controlsContainer").Visibility = "Collapsed";
}

updatetime();
