Hi Christophe,

Have you registered .xap MIME type?
This is how to do it:

Hello Ferry,

The only access I have to the website is through ftp so I don't really know. I'll check with the hoster (slow to respond thus me ending up doing many things on my own).

I should mention that in one of my attempts I was able to see a white box that says "Silverlight" when I right-click. Means anything?

Thank you,

Christophe

That means the web server has been configured correctly (MIME types were added) and you have installed Silverlight runtime.
I guess it's the code/package that you installed.

Alright I'm back with no answer on the .xap .

Alternatively, I found this jwplayer that uses javascript files and a .xaml file.

I have put the 2 .js files and the .xaml file in my site's folder (via ftp) and now I have the following javascript to setup:

<div id="myplayer">the player will be placed here</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var elm = document.getElementById("myplayer");
    var src = '/wmvplayer.xaml';
    var cfg = {
        file:'mms://ip_address/publishing_point',
        width:'320',
        height:'240'
    };
    var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(elm,src,cfg);
</script>

The problem is that if I put this in html in my text document I get nothing (except the "the player will be placed here"). I tried using an xslt and it worked (!!) but I would have to create a separate macro for each video I want to insert? That doesn't make sense i think.

How do I insert the script (with different cfg) everywhere I want to insert a video?

Thanks you,

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

Put the script in the XSLT (for guys prefer C# coding - like me - it would be in .ASCX) then make the file as variable.
Then add a property in the Document Type for the user to fill the file link value.
And then use the property value to fill the variable in XSLT.

Cheers,
Ferry

Pardon my ignorance but how do you do that? Here is the xslt code I have that worked when I inserted the macro:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="myplayer">the player will be placed here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var elm = document.getElementById("myplayer");
    var src = '.../wmvplayer.xaml';
    var cfg = {
        file:'mms://ip_address/pub_point',
        width:'480',
        height:'360'
    };
    var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(elm,src,cfg);
</script>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I would like to make the file, width, and height variables and have the choice to enter the values when I insert the macro (?).

Thanks again.

Alright I played a little and tried to make variables. Here is what I've done:

I made location (which would be mms://...), width and height variables in the modified xslt below and added the parameter in the macro.

When I insert the macro in my content, a widow pops out and asked for the 3 parameters but it doesn't seem to work. Anyidea why? Should I post this issue as a separate issue?

code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:variable name="location" select="/macro/location"/>
<xsl:variable name="width" select="/macro/width"/>
<xsl:variable name="height" select="/macro/height"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="myplayer">the player will be placed here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var elm = document.getElementById("myplayer");
    var src = '/media/28447/wmvplayer.xaml';
    var file = '$location';
    var width = '$width';
    var height = '$height';
    var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(elm,src,file,width,height);
</script>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks,

Christophe

Ferry Thank You!

I finally got it to work. The final code is below. I used urllocation as my variable and the property is in my document type. i then insert the macro into my richtext editor. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:variable name="urllocation" select="$currentPage/data[@alias='urllocation']"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="myplayer">the player will be placed here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var elm = document.getElementById("myplayer");
    var src = '/media/28447/wmvplayer.xaml';
    var cfg = {
        file:'<xsl:value-of select="$urllocation"/>',
        width:'320',
        height:'240'
    };
    var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(elm,src,cfg);
</script>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thank again,

Christophe

Glad to hear that.
You're welcome.
