Mix 08 Demos Posted
I *really* apologize for the delay, but the code for the demos I showed on stage at Mix can be found at:
http://cid-155596ce0aa0cb80.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Mix08%20Demos
I have the following zip files there:
1) VideoRSSViewer - Demo.zip - this is the basic demo I created on stage, with bells and whistles, but not a full app.
2) VideoRSSViewer - Full App.zip - this is the full app I showed, where I load videos from msn.com using cross-domain web services in Silverlight. Users can drag-and-drop entries from the VideoPanel and display mutliple videos at a time, including taking each one to full-screen mode. Disclaimer: the app is not supposed to be a shipping app, but rather give you an idea of how to accomplish an e2e experience using Silverlight.
3) Web Playlists.zip - app where I showed interaction with Web Playlists in IIS 7 and BitRate Throttling. I also make an advertisement request where I send as much data about the user as is available. Also try pointing the MediaElement to a progressively downloaded file (from any web service) and seek to the non-downloaded region. You will see Byte-Range Requests in action.
You can also find a video of the talk at http://sessions.visitmix.com/?selectedSearch=BCT05, in case you couldn't wake up in time.
For more details on IIS 7, go to http://iis.net. (Web Playlists and BitRate Throttling are explained there too).
For more details on Expression Encoder, go to http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/overview.aspx?key=encoder.
Hope these help you, and please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Ed
ps: I used SkyDrive to post these, which was really great and easy to use. You should give it a try at http://skydrive.live.com.
