New Post: SetSource from text URL

rapuke — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:54:33 GMT

How do I pass a text url to SetSource(x,y)?
Have tried converting the text to a Uri but need a stream which I do not understand!
Can see the file examples but not just a Url.

player.VisualMarkers.Clear();
This does not clear as I expected. Is something missing.

New Post: Smooth streaming VOD hangs if network becomes unavailable during playback

ashishjain1 — Wed, 22 May 2013 05:26:29 GMT

I am building a media streaming app using playerframework. We are using smooth streaming but we are facing a problem that we are also able to reproduce with the playerframework sample available on codeplex. The application is a C#/XAML modern app on Windows 8.

The scenario is –

Start playback of smooth streaming content (SmoothPage.XAML scenario in the playerframework Windows 8 sample)
While it is playing on the screen, disconnect the network (e.g. use the charms bar to disconnect the wifi network or simply plug out the Ethernet wire).
Click the right mouse button to bring the app bar and select the back button
App hangs and program counter does not come anywhere in the code

I have tried mediafailed event, adaptivesourcefailedevent, adapativesourceupdatedevent, etc. but it simply does not come to this point, while it seems to continue to try to rebuffer.

Would anyone know how to address this?

Thanks,
Ashish

Created Unassigned: slow motion and scrubbing in win phone 8 [24178]

bytefx — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:03:04 GMT

hi

have been exploring the ability to scrub and slow mo.. (see code below)

I tried the sample code and made some alterations to make it applicable to win phone 8.

1. the lag still exists but I want to have a slow motion effects to see the frames moving as I scrub from player.position to seektolive() "scrubposition".

2. how do I have a visual markers signifying starting and ending time in this sample project...

```
namespace PhoneApp1
{
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
private bool _wasPausedBeforeScrubbing = false;
private TimeSpan _bufferingTimeBeforeScrubbing;
private bool SeekWhileScrubbing = false;
private TimeSpan scrubbingPosition;
private TimeSpan PlaybackPosition;
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();

var vttUrl = "http://sample.vtt";
var url = "http://sample.mp4";

Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer player = new Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer();
Microsoft.PlayerFramework.Caption caption = new Microsoft.PlayerFramework.Caption();
Microsoft.PlayerFramework.WebVTT.WebVTTPlugin webvttPlugin = new WebVTTPlugin();
player.SelectedCaption = player.AvailableCaptions.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Description == "English");

player.IsCaptionSelectionVisible = true;
player.Plugins.Add(webvttPlugin);
caption.Source = new Uri(vttUrl, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); // url points to sample.vtt file
caption.Description = "English";
player.AvailableCaptions.Add(caption);
player.Source = new Uri(url, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); // url points to sample.mp4 file
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(player);

player.IsScrubbingEnabled = true;
player.SeekWhileScrubbing = true;

SeekWhileScrubbing = player.SeekWhileScrubbing;
PlaybackPosition = player.Position;

player.ScrubbingStarted += player_ScrubbingStarted;
player.Scrubbing += player_Scrubbing;
player.ScrubbingCompleted += player_ScrubbingCompleted;

}

private void player_ScrubbingCompleted(object sender, ScrubProgressRoutedEventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer player = (Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer)sender;
// Restore state.
if (!_wasPausedBeforeScrubbing)
{
player.Play();
player.BufferingTime = _bufferingTimeBeforeScrubbing;
}
}

private void player_Scrubbing(object sender, ScrubProgressRoutedEventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer player = (Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer)sender;
// Avoid spamming when no change.
if (scrubbingPosition.Equals(PlaybackPosition))
return;

if (SeekWhileScrubbing)
{
// Override default behavior to fix 'seek while scrubbing' behavior.
player.BufferingTime = TimeSpan.FromTicks(5); // Try to reduce lag. Not very effective, but no negative impact (buffering occurs when resuming playback in any case).
player.SeekToLive();
}
}

private void player_ScrubbingStarted(object sender, ScrubRoutedEventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer player = (Microsoft.PlayerFramework.MediaPlayer)sender;

// Save current state
_bufferingTimeBeforeScrubbing = player.BufferingTime;
PlaybackPosition = player.Position;
}
// Sample code for building a localized ApplicationBar
//private void BuildLocalizedApplicationBar()
//{
// // Set the page's ApplicationBar to a new instance of ApplicationBar.
// ApplicationBar = new ApplicationBar();

// // Create a new button and set the text value to the localized string from AppResources.
// ApplicationBarIconButton appBarButton = new ApplicationBarIconButton(new Uri("/Assets/AppBar/appbar.add.rest.png", UriKind.Relative));
// appBarButton.Text = AppResources.AppBarButtonText;
// ApplicationBar.Buttons.Add(appBarButton);

// // Create a new menu item with the localized string from AppResources.
// ApplicationBarMenuItem appBarMenuItem = new ApplicationBarMenuItem(AppResources.AppBarMenuItemText);
// ApplicationBar.MenuItems.Add(appBarMenuItem);
//}
}
}
```

New Post: Support for smooth instream captions on Windows Phone 8

keero — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:20:36 GMT

In the example code for instream captions a propertry called InstreamCaptionsEnabled of the adaptive plugin is set to true. When trying to do this for the player on Windows Phone 8, it does not recognize the property ("Cannot resolve symbol..."). I am using version 1.8.1.0 of the Player Framework. I guess support for instream captions has not been implemented for the phone framework yet. Is there a plan for doing this?

New Post: Crash after suspension

nicolar — Mon, 20 May 2013 13:31:36 GMT

Hi,

I'm encountering a crash issue after the suspension of the app. To reproduce:

1) Watch live stream (under IIS Smooth Streaming) for at least 4 minutes
2) Lock the device
3) Wait at least 4 minutes
4) Unlock the screen

Frequently, the app crashes or has already crashed during suspension. Found on Surface RT, Acer Iconia and Samsung Ativ.

This does not happen when Visual Studio debugger is attached, thus we have no visibility of the exception throw. Neither a logger help us. The last operation logged is the suspension of the app so it seems that crash occurs there somewhere. Moreover it seems to happen only during live streaming.

My feeling is that some external dll throws an exception (Adaptive Plugin/SmoothStreaming Client/Playready Client....) but I can't understand what's wrong.

Any tip?

Thanks,
Nicola

New Post: Windows 8 - OnAcquireLicense

Flaww — Sat, 18 May 2013 13:50:38 GMT

Yes, I know that Windows 8 uses a different api.

I creating application based on the drm for a large company, in a version for iOS and Android there is no problem with drm, where everything looks something like this:

playItem.LicenseUri = "blah-licenseManager.asmx";
playITem.MediaSource = "blabla.ism.manifest";
playItem.CustomData = "<ExternalData> <userid> dada </ UserID> <Msisdn> dadada </ MSISDN> </ ExternalData>";
playITem.BeginRequestLicense ();

In version SL/WP7/WP8, overrides OnLicenseAcquire and I set CustomData and create custom headers:

request.ContentType = "application / xml";
request.Headers ["referer"] = "http://blablabla/SilverPlayer.xap";
request.Headers ["msprdrm_server_redirect_compat"] = "true";
request.Headers ["msprdrm_server_exception_compat"] = "true";

Without setting a header, always will be redirected.

How do I set the headers when sending license in PlayReady SDK if it's possible?
I look into Filder when i try send license on the server, I always be redirected, as in SL without custom headers.
