Is it possible to host videos on Azure that can be used for streaming them to a Silverlight player using Smooth Streaming?

Hi ZippyV -

Checkout Steve's latest post on adaptive streaming in Windows Azure. The short answer is yes. Sorry it took so long to reply!

Great video.

You mention in the cast that acquiring the file write signature in Page_Load isn't ideal (I agree cos only I can only get it to last for max 29 mins). Where is the best place to get the signature?

My ASP.NET Role 'is' the silverlight control that is hosts. Theres a control on the silverlight control to upload a file to Blob Storage. This is fine while the signature is valid, but not so good when it's expired

Cheers
