Honestly, I had no idea Full Screen was even available on this player.

I'll get that in there on our next update.

Yes, its possible just not implemented.

Cut and pasted code:

this.control.content.fullScreen = true;
sender.findName("Page").cursor = "none";

this.control.content.fullScreen = false;
sender.findName("Page").cursor = "default";

Is it not possible to make the player hide the cursor when fullscreen? Neither silverlight nor flash seems to support this, is it a limitation of the browser or something?

Raise your hand if you immediately double-clicked the player when Sampy said that he got Fullscreen-on-double-click for free just by wiring in the Silverlight Player?

I was using Firefox with Silverlight 1.1, I came across the "Unable to load media" message too, I thought that was because I was connecting internet by proxy, after I enabled the direct connection, the message didn't show again and the video played perfectly!

Silverlight doesn't read the proxy settings of firefox?[C]
But the player is good, excellent work!

Yeah - so now Windows 2000 users like me can't see all the channel 9 vidoes online!

The seeking bar in the player on this page has some issues: Trying seek to specific previous position after the video has been playing for a while such as 5:00 after video is at 5:50 results the slider going to 2:00 but if you release it it does play from 5:00.

Please post all error reports in this thread:

I'm getting this error on everywhere the silverlight player is embedded, even on the frontpage :(

Very cool (beats streaming using WMP hands-down).
