Direct permalinking to videos from Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live

RemyP announced Permalinking baby!

It is no longer necessary to pass streaming:/accountId/fileSet/fileName.wmv as initParams to your Silverlight application, you can directly point to the WMV file in Silverlight Streaming using the following HTTP permalink: http://silverlight.services.live.com/accountId/fileSet/fileName.wmv, where:

• accountId is your Silverlight Streaming account ID; check the Manage Account page to find it
• fileSet is the folder name where your video file is stored; you can see the list of folders in your Silverlight Streaming account in the Manage Videos page
• fileName.wmv is the video file name

This new HTTP endpoint is directly available for you to copy/paste directly in the Video Properties page.
