He also demonstrates how to encode smooth streaming video using Expression Encoder and play the video using SMF. 

Tim also shows how he extended the SMF implementation and created a player to suit his specific needs (including not using DVR, among other features). He cracks the code open and shows how he extended the SMF to add custom features so the video does not start until it has a chance to buffer (about 3 seconds). Tim also added the ability to pass a parameter to the SMF player to indicate if it should automatically load the video or if the video should use smooth streaming.

 

Lastly, Tim gives us a glimpse into some of the features that the team is looking at adding for SMF v2.

They were invited to do a code-off with three Adobe representatives to build a cool app to raffle off the event prizes. Needless to say, they scored an overwhelming victory, even outnumbered 3:2. One would expect no less; no real news there.

What I'm jazzed about is that our local NZ web whiz Nigel Parker went and posted a Smooth Streaming video of the darn thing! And none of us Redmond-based video nerd knew about it until it had been live for a couple of days! We on the video side had been talking about how to jumpstart Smooth Streaming UGC, and here these guys go ahead and just do it.

So, in a foreshadowing of how it'll feel when my kids head off to college, all our work on Silverlight, Expression Encoder, and IIS Smooth Streaming has apparently paid off, and even developer/designer evangelists can now author, encode, and post nicely done Smooth Streaming video, and on a lark.

I must admit this disturbing trend for me personaly, as they're now far better compressionists than I am a developer or designer. I could assuage myself by noting they should have used Denoise, and the player's embeded size isn't calibrated to provide Fast Path playback at the highest resolution. But that's weak tea at best. They did well, without a word of advice from Alex or myself.

I clearly need to go back to our codec PhDs and ask them to add strange options with even more esoteric names; Adaptive Deadzone and DQuant apparently weren't a high enough barrier to entry. Perhaps "Chroma subsampling phase decorrelator?" Too Trek. "motion-vector back-propogation feedback via lookahead for per macroblock differental quantization rate distortion optimization" Hmmm, that actually might work. "Pixel-throoper?" I need the flanger for compression...

Joking aside, a big goal of Silverlight is to expand the reach of our community of developers and designers, and making stuff they can casually use like this is exactly what we are trying to do.

I can't wait to see what they'll do with Silverlight 3 and Expression Encoder 3. We're just getting started. ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/benwagg/First-Smooth-Streaming-User-Generated-Content So, this is irrationally exciting for me; what's perhaps the first UGC (user-generated content) in Smooth Streaming.

Tim Heuer has a developer-friendly description here, which points out that MinimumVersion and minRuntimeVersion values should be updated, as well as the version attribute in Silverlight.js files.

The always handy Silverlight Release History lists the changes as:

Release enhancements:

  • Fixes problems that were caused by Silverlight and McAfee scanning tools interactions

  • UI automation stability fixes, including:

    • graceful failures when attempting to use features that require .Net Framework 3.0 or 3.5 on machines that do not have either framework installed

    • improved Tablet support

  • Fixes an issue that arises when Mac users customize their environment by removing Arial and Verdana fonts

  • Fixes a known issue with Isolated Storage IncreaseQuotaTo method (See this Silverlight.net Forums Post)

 

If you’re curious, in Microsoft parlance GDR=”General Distribution Release.” That means it goes out to everyone, as opposed to a Hotfix which is only meant to be applied to fix particular issues.
