From our humble beginnings as a website built with alpha quality forum technologies that we stitched together with creative code and a lot of love, and our videos were made by a few dudes roaming the halls of Microsoft with a cheap camcorder – look at us now. Channel 9 streams live events to 100,000s of people around the world, we have a state of the art recording studio, we do C9 Live at events around the world bringing you directly into the conversation with Microsoft folks in real time. Today, much of our content is created from folks around the company. Channel 9 is THE place to watch MS events on demand and to learn about our technologies from the people who make them – people are the lifeblood of software and technology. Channel 9 is people!

Today marks 9 years of 9. It's a very special day. We are especially humbled and honored to still be around given the change rate of the web. We thank all past, present and future Niners for the excellent conversations, arguments, debates, entertainment, and camaraderie.  9 Years of 9. That rolls so nicely off the tongue.  Here's to 9 more.

The Windows Store blog announced today that the store is now open to a massive number of developers, from across 120 different markets. From their post:

Today's an especially great day to be a developer. We're very excited to announce the last significant milestone in the rollout of the Windows Store before the general availability of Windows 8 on October 26. The Store is now open for app submissions from all developers – individuals and companies – in our supported markets, and we've added 82 more app submission markets! Now, developers from 120 markets can publish Windows Store apps. -- Antoine

The post goes on to point out some great deals, including:

All eligible MSDN subscribers receive a free, one-year Windows Store developer account as part of their MSDN benefits. (Eligible subscriptions include Visual Studio Professional, Test Professional, Premium, Ultimate, and BizSpark.) We have a program for students—DreamSpark—that similarly waives the subscription fee. And we have an offer for businesses in our BizSpark program, as well.

Hey folks, I’m sure a few of you have found it already, but there is a Channel 9 application in the Windows Store. The app lets you access all sorts of Channel 9 content, from the most recent to browsing back through past events, shows and series.

You can find the app in the store by searching on 'Channel', or by going over to the 'Music & videos' category, clicking on the category title (to show all apps) and it will be listed right there.

The app, written by Cara on our team, is a HTML/JavaScript app that handles all of the relevant Windows 8 integration points that we could think of, including:

  • Search (open up the charms and click Search to look for content across all of the events, shows, series and blogs on Channel 9)
  • Play To (while playing a video, open the charms menu again… if you have any play to devices configured you can shoot the video over to them). I’ve used this already to make a video play right onto the screen of another computer in the house, but I’m sure you can figure out some cooler uses
  • Share (if you have any apps installed that let you share, then you can go to a Channel 9 post, open up the charms and click Share). Easy way to try this out is to make sure you have an email account set up, then sharing through email will be one of your choices!

More features will be coming over time, and perhaps we can even post some early releases up here for people who would be interested in trying them out!

Thanks for installing, and let us know what you think!

Update: If you are browsing Channel 9 in IE 10 (Metro), then you can get to the app a whole lot quicker than going to the store and searching. Just bring up the address bar and there will be a circular button with the C9 guy in it... click that to either jump to the app's entry in the store or to launch the app if it is already installed. More details on how it works are available here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/10/20/connect-your-web-site-to-your-windows-8-app.aspx

What to do? You could email the link to yourself as a reminder to watch it later, but that’s so low tech… and what if you want to build up a list of videos to watch over an upcoming holiday? Or maybe you are about to have some elective surgery and would like to get through all 127 episodes of Ping! while you are on morphine?

Never fear, there is a new feature on Channel 9 just for you… “My Queue”

Below each video, if you are signed in, is a new button ‘+ queue’, which adds the video to a special list just for you!

Click the button and it changes to a little green arrow to show that you’ve put this into your queue, then jump over to your profile and you’ll see a new tab

You can re-order the items, remove them … see how much of a video you’ve watched (tracked across multiple machines, by the way) … and subscribe to your queue using a special private RSS feed (perfect for plugging into Zune and sync’ing with your phone or just pulling the files locally to watch in high def)

Lots of items in your queue? Sort by show to see a handy list grouped by the show/series/blog/event

Let us know what you think and how you are planning to use this new feature!

Before we launched the most recent version of Channel 9 we did a lot of work to make sure site performance was acceptable for our users. This involves data collection to try to determine what aspects of the site are slow, and then work to make it all better. At some point though, we run into problems that just can’t be solved.

One of those issues occurs naturally when you have a web site being served from a single location, in our case the United States, to people located all around the world. For some folks the site will be slower than for others, and it seems like there is very little that could be done about this problem. We could move our site hosting to a new location, but that would just move the problem… now different people would have a good connection and others would have a poor one.

Turns out, if you are hosted in Azure, there is a better solution; multiple web servers located in different geographic regions around the world. This is a concept that is used by many large web sites already, but it requires specialized DNS services and (until now) wasn’t something that a ‘regular’ site could take advantage of. Now, using the Windows Azure Traffic Manager (WATM), it is possible to add this functionality to any Windows Azure hosted site by:

  • Creating multiple instances of your site (placed in different geographic regions),
  • Creating a ‘performance’ based traffic manager policy,
  • Adding all of your production instances into this policy, and
  • Modifying the DNS entry of your site (in our case the entry for channel9.msdn.com) to point at the special DNS name associated with your new WATM policy.

A ‘performance’ based policy, like we are using, sends traffic to the fastest performing active instance in the policy, based on network performance. This is not a real time indicator, but instead is based on aggregate performance data, and so the policy will generally always send a given user to the same location.

You can start out with only a single production instance in the policy (which wouldn’t actually do anything at this point, since all the traffic would be going to that single instance) and then add additional production instances around the world as you wish. In our case we started with three instances:

  • Our original production site in the North Central US,
  • A new site in East Asia, and
  • A new site in Northern Europe

While the exact location of these servers isn’t something that is publically discussed, they correspond to three of the six Windows Azure data centers as shown in this picture.

Windows Azure Data Centers

Recently you may have noticed a new icon along the top of the site

image

Hovering over this icon will show you the data center you are currently hitting. Hopefully this will be the best data center for you, but if it isn’t there are a few possibilities. One is that the data center you are hitting is truly the fastest option for you (sometimes network performance does not correspond to the real world distances between you and a data center), and the other is that you seem to be coming from a different location than you really should be. One issue to be aware of is that some large shared DNS services can cause this issue, because they can make it seem like you are physically located wherever their DNS servers are sitting… which could be quite far from your actual location. This article discusses the issue with services such as Google’s DNS service and OpenDNS briefly for those of you that are interested.
