Saw this over at Scott Hanselman’s blog… any idea why HTTP byte range requests weren’t used? e.g:

GET /blah HTTP/1.1
Range: bytes=0-999
…
HTTP/1.0 206 Partial Content
Content-Length: 1000
Content-Range: bytes 0-999/10000
…

This is what the iPhone/iPod Touch does: no special software required on the server – it’s plain old HTTP 1.1.

Hi Alex, Thanks for the nice blog over Windows Media and Silverlight.
I want to develop a capture application for live streaming using H.264. I have earlier worked on Windows Media Encoder SDK and Format SDK, but I could not figure out how I can connect H.264 encoder directshow graph to Windows Media Services. I want to leverage the benefits of Smooth Streaming.
Thanks,
Neeraj

Hi Alex,

Can you point me to some resource on how live ad insertion is done or for that matter how to provide text streams dynamically.
The scenario is I have a pre-encoded smooth streaming content and need to append metadata dynamically. e.g. Announcements etc., without having to encode the content again.

Thanks in advance.
- Sushil

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. Do you have any sample code for how to accomplish this? I know the Player SDK has this functionality of smooth streaming sources but we are just dealing with progressive downloaders. I looked through the Player SDK code, but wasn’t able to get a great grasp on it since it was obfuscated.

It seems counter-productive for us to re-write a WMV file format parser if you guys already have one written. Is that something you could share? Let me know if you want to take the conversation offline.

I try using MediaStreamSource for VC-1 Playback speed.

Playback speed is very important for korean students. (I’m korean)

Korean Students study very very hard. they have no time for normal speed, online lecture. usually they play vod lecture 1.5 or 2x speed.

but I found out yesterday that I have no chance for using Silverlight Decoder output.

If I don’t use raw a/v, silverlight decoder, I must make(or port) a decoder. but performance issue.

May I have any method, access raw a/v ?
