  Download Progress Bar for Silverlight Media Framework Player Silverlight, SMF | (0)

  One of my customers has been using the Microsoft Silverlight Media Framework player for their Business-to-Business media sharing portal and wanted to add a download progress bar behind the scrub bar.  I was able to show them how to do this with a combination of template binding, re-templating the SMFPlayer and Timeline classes and subclassing the Timeline class. Since the Timeline bar is a custom control embedded in the SMFPlayer custom control, you need to modify the control template of both the SMFPlayer control and the Timeline control.  I created a new ...

  The Microsoft Silverlight Analytics Framework at Mix Expression Blend, MSAF, Silverlight, SMF, Web Analytics | (0)

  I’m excited to share with you that I’ll be talking about a new framework for web analytics in Silverlight at our Mix conference in Las Vegas next week.  Seven months ago I blogged about building a new analytics framework for Silverlight and now we’re about to release it next week on CodePlex as free open-source framework.  The process over these past seven months has been to reach out to as many of the analytics vendors and control vendors as we could and build an inclusive framework that supports all different types of analytics that are relevant to application designers and ...

  Scrubbing with Thumbnails with the SMF Player Expression Blend, Expression Encoder, Silverlight, SMF, SSME | (0)

  One of the developers from one of my media customers asked me how they would implement the thumbnail preview while scrubbing in a Silverlight video player.  He was turned onto the idea from seeing that feature in the Netflix Watch Instantly Silverlight player.  I thought that would be something that others could use, so I decided to use Silverlight Media Framework player to demonstrate it.  It turns out that Expression Encoder has the capability to create thumbnail images from a video during encoding.  You can use this capability to just create images of a video at regular intervals.  Creating ...
