Does the HTML sample only work when you provide a width and height to the object? I want it to be done automatically :(

Is there a way to pull InitParameters="m=Bear.wmv" from a request.querystring to dynamically load different videos?

mangesh, you can use a converter like the free Prism video converter at www.nchsoftware.com/prism.

Using the ASP.NET control, is it possible to change these parameters at run time? If possible: Which is the correct method to do it? Thanks.

Installation Instructions

This is a helper part of the project to help you implement the SL2 Video Player.

Obtain the VideoPlayer.xap file from the Releases tab above.
There are 2 versions of the player. If all you want is the smallest payload with basic playback functionality (no markers/closed-captioning), get the VideoPlayerM.xap version
Put the VideoPlayer.xap file into your web application. If you want to follow standard Silverlight protocol, you'd create a folder at the root of your web site called ClientBin and put it there.

Implement the Silverlight application in your page(s).

If you are using HTML, here is a sample piece of markup to demonstrate. Please refer to the Silverlight documentation for complete specification of the Silverlight plugin.

<div id="silverlightControlHost">
	<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="640" height="480">
		<param name="source" value="ClientBin/VideoPlayer.xap"/>
		<param name="background" value="white" />
		<param name="initParams" value="m=Bear.wmv" />
               <param name="minruntimeversion" value="2.0.31005.0" />
		<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=124807" style="text-decoration: none;">
 			<img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style: none"/>
		</a>
	</object>
</div>

If you are using ASP.NET and the asp:Silverlight control your implementation would look like this:

<div  style="height:100%;">
            <asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" 
            runat="server" 
            Source="~/ClientBin/VideoPlayer.xap" 
            MinimumVersion="2.0.31005" 
            Width="640" Height="480" InitParameters="m=Bear.wmv" />
</div>

Remember these are only sample implementation of the plugin using the application. You should consider adding error event handlers, etc. as specified by the Silverlight SDK documentation.
In each (HTML and ASP.NET) implementation, the initParams (or InitParameters if using the ASP.NET control). Various types of parameters are supported. The definitions of these parameters are specified in the Initialize Parameters page.
What if my users's don't have Silverlight installed? - this is a great question. See some tips on creating a 'Silverlight Not Installed' message to your users.

What if Silverlight is not installed for my users?

There may be a possibility that your users don't have the Silverlight plugin installed. Using most of the Visual Studio 2008 project templates, you are provided with a generic "not installed" template. If Silverlight is not installed, it basically displays an image like this:

which might not mean much to your users. You should create a better "not installed" template specific to your use and should include a more descriptive message to your users about what they are installing and why. As an example, here's perhaps a better one:

You can find more information on how to do these techniques (if you are the web developer) by viewing a screencast on Optimizing the Install Experience on the Silverlight community learning site.
