MMP Video Editor TM Task updated to IIS Transform Manager 1.0 Beta(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by ejadib(185) 10 months, 28 days ago

A few months ago, Microsoft published the Beta version of the IIS Transform Manager. This new release contains an incredible set of new features, explained here by Chris Knowlton. Back in the Alpha days, I wrote an IIS Transform Manager Task that takes an Microsoft Media Platform Video Editor (formerly Rough Cut Editor) Project XML file (which includes the EDL) as input, and outputs a new encoded video that represents the MMP Video Editor edits. read more...

Rough Cut Editor (RCE) and IIS Transform Manager: Best Friends(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by ejadib(185) 1 year, 10 months ago

A month ago, Microsoft published the alpha version of the IIS Transform Manager. The Transform Manager provides simple integrated video encoding and batch conversion of video files to the IIS Smooth Streaming format. It does this quite nicely, as it provides an extensible platform for scheduling and running multiple tasks in sequence on an IIS server using a local task scheduler. It enables "watch folder" job submission, queuing, management, integrated media transcoding/transmuxing, and batch-encryption of on-demand audio and video files This post is result of exploring the feasibility of using the IIS Transform Manager to take an RCE Project XML file (which includes the EDL) as input, and creating the necessary task to output a new encoded video that represents the RCE edits? read more...

He described the issue as: When I set the position on the Smooth Streaming Media Element, the displayed frame is not updated. I can only get the frame displayed to update when playback is resumed. read more...

Composite Stream Manifest (CSM) Generator & Rough Cut Editor (RCE) (blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by ejadib(185) 2 years ago

Weeks ago Microsoft published the Silverlight Rough Cut Editor (RCE), an application we created with Microsoft and that was used for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. One of the main features used during the Olympics was the ability to generate Composite Stream Manifests (CSM) based on projects the editors created using the Rough Cut Editor. Today, we are happy to announce that the Composite Stream Manifest generator code was just published... read more...

submitted by ejadib(185) 2 years, 3 months ago

One of the greatest features added on the Beta 2 version of the IIS Smooth Streaming Player Development Kit (SSPDK) is the support for Composite Stream Manifests for Rough Cut Editing.

Memory Leak removing View with child regions in Prism-v2(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by dschenkelman(450) 2 years, 5 months ago

About a week ago in the Prism forum we got a question about an issue in the scenario displayed below. The Issue: When the MainView was removed from the MainRegion, the RightOne and RightTwo regions were not removed from the RegionManager and the views were still being referenced by the region. We were able to reproduce this issue “successfully” both using scoped regions and without them so we started thinking on a possible fix for this... read more...

Will Silverlight 4 ICommand support simplify using commands in Prism?(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by dschenkelman(450) 2 years, 5 months ago

As I thought this is a question that could interest many people, instead of answering this question directly in the Prism codeplex forum I decided to create a short blog post and answer it here. The answer is “kind of”. Silverlight 4 Beta, so far, only supports binding commands to controls that inherit from ButtonBase (Button and HyperlinkButton), as you can read in Tim’s and Mike’s posts. Therefore, if you are using Prism, these are the things that you will not need any more, and those that you will... read more...

Prism 2 migrated to Silverlight 4 Beta(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by dschenkelman(450) 2 years, 6 months ago

Most of you know that a Silverlight 4 Beta was released last Wednesday, after Scott Gu’s PDC keynote. If you are a Prism user, and if you are reading this there’s a high chance you are, you are probably wondering how this relates to p&p future plans. Well, Blaine has given us a brief idea of Prism’s future in this forum thread, so you might want to check it out. On a related but different subject Fernando and I migrated the latest Prism release to Silverlight 4 Beta version & Net 4.0. A few minor changes needed to be done in the code (explained here), and some other in the .csproj files due to an issue we came up using the Silverlight migration wizard... read more...

Why Silverlight 3 Navigation cannot be fully leveraged with Prism-v2(blogs.southworks.net)

submitted by dschenkelman(450) 2 years, 6 months ago

Now that the Prism team has shipped a new version of the guidance, I thought it would be a good time to blog on this subject, based on some research we did with Ezequiel, Matias and Julian. This article will not focus on how to workaround the limitations of using Silverlight 3 Navigation with Prism (as the guys who wrote the posts mentioned below have done a good job on that) instead it will focus on the why of these limitations... read more...
