I just noticed that I got the bumpers switched up. Hope everyone sticks around for the whole clip even though it looks like it ends before it even gets started. I'll fix it and re-upload soon.
Cool, thanks for your comments. I too was quite confused about styles vs. templates when I first started working with the system. Blend makes it easy, but it also blurs the lines. For example, when you right-click on a button and choose to edit the template,
Blend automatically creates a style with a template in it. This makes sense because templates are normally applied using styles and styles allow you to change attributes on the parent. But it isn't really clear why you said you wanted to edit a template and
a style was created as well.
Very sorry to everyone who was not able to get the sample files. I've upload them again and updated the link. Right now the file system still says 'Pending' but I hope that will be resolved tomorrow.
I think that's a very interesting and worthwhile effort. Have you thought about making your player in Silverlight?
The player on Channel9 is Silverlight, so the WMV files there are already perfect for streaming and wouldn’t need to be downloaded. The Ajax
MediaPlayer control that’s part of the
ASP.Net 3.5 Extensions has built in support for time-based subtitles. Or alternatively, with Silverlight 2.0, you could also easily write this in C#. And you’d have easy access to call web services or WCF services back to your transcript repository.
Best yet, you can use
Silverlight Streaming to host your player and get free high bandwidth distribution worldwide.
I'll try to contact you through your blog. Let's not distract the discussion from the webcast.
