Is there a way to quickly create a SSPL when you want to program days and days of content - f.x. drag and drop content onto a calendar with time -- and is there a way to generate an RSS electronic program guide (WMS plugin) from WSX files / SSPL?

Hi sirshannon

Would it be possible to send out a sample wsx or a more detailed scenario. I can take it to the Silverlight team as a customer request and see if they can help here. I really appreciate you trying out SSPL scenarios with WMS.

We also just released a Web Playlists feature with IIS (blogs.iis.net/.../iis-7-media-pack-web-playlists-is-live.aspx). I would love to hear if that helps any of your scenarios. I will be happy to hear your feedback too. It is a server side playlist solution for progressive download and it works with Silverlight :)

The need we have is for a user to be able to add items to a playlist while watching a clip. Not really a big deal; it is something that Windows Media Player has supported for quite a while.

We want to use Media Center and Silverlight but until this basic functionality is supported, we're out of luck. I just don't understand the omission.

Maybe this is the wrong place to complain (once again) about this, but in another post, you said "During my chat with several people using Windows Media Services, I realized that very few actually know about Server Side playlists. "

We (the company I work for) know about Server Side Playlists, we just can't use them because support is *still* lacking in most MS products, especially the ones we want to start using.

Silverlight will not support SSPL in 2.0 but probably in the next version. I don't have a certain answer though. I don't know about Media Center. I shall try to find out.

Did you try out the new Web Playlists in IIS too?

When will Silverlight and Windows Media Center support Server Side Playlists?

Hi!

I tested Wall Clock feature by also specifying date and time and wallclock stops functioning after about 12h. I have restarted the publishing point after the changes, double checked that I am getting the right playlist etc. This is on W2003 R2.

Thanks!

Hi!

One major problem with the wallclock is that you have to manually restart the playlist everday at midnight, or it wont work for the following day. If you have a 24/7 program you cant us it?.

Is there some way to restart the playlist ever day at midnight?

Thanks!

Yes, you can

1. Click on the publishing point you want to work on

2. Go to properties tab

3. Go to archiving

4. You can enable/disable the plug-in

Hope this helps

Is there a way to toggle archiving on & off as well?

Actually, I found buried a small table in some documentation regarding the URLs of various elements that can be used in SSPL.

Here's what worked: lpp://pubpointname

LLP = Local Publishing Point.

So, for example:

lpp://live

This points to the publishing point set up on the local server that the SSPL is coming from called live.

Very simple works beautifully.

Regards,

Fritz

Hi Fritz

I did not completely understand your question.

Here is an example of SSPL and live feed from encoder.

<smil>

<excl>

</priorityClass>

</excl>

</smil>

However, to use the wallclock value with begin attribute there should be another stream which will be playling to fill in the time from start of publishing point to start of broadcast. It could be a jpg too.

Also, you could mention another pubpoint instead of the encoder URL in SSPL above.

Hopefully, this should help. In case you are still experiencing problems, please let me know the details.

I've been attempting to get the SSPL to work with a live stream.

It seems that the SSPL want to send the stream to a stand-alone encoder instead of a publishing point.

Any thoughts of how to integrate the live broadcast point into a wall-clock based SSPL?

Thanks a million!

Hi Vishal,

I am also working on the same kind of application that Sai is working.

I have created following playlist and it is working for me very well and alo switches between media elements according to wallclock value specified.

<?wsx version="1.0"?>

<smil>

<excl>

</priorityClass>

</excl>

</smil>

This might help others in creating SSPL.

Thanks and Best Regards,
