Hosting Media Assets

You can play back any Windows Media Video (.wmv) files hosted in Silverlight Streaming using a special URL syntax. This feature enables you to take advantage of Silverlight Streaming's Content Delivery Network for .wmv files. Progressive download via the Content Delivery Network ensures fast and reliable media delivery to your users.

Once you've uploaded a .wmv file to Silverlight Streaming, you can refer to it using the following URL syntax.

Code Select Expand


http://silverlight.services.live.com/accountID/appName/fileName

Follow these rules:

    * Replace accountId with your Silverlight Streaming account identifier
    * Replace appName with the name of your Silverlight Streaming application as you entered it on the Manage Applications page, or the title of your video as you entered it on the Manage Videos page.
    * Replace fileName with the name of your .wmv file. If your .wmv file is part of a Silverlight Streaming application, refer to the name of the file as it appears in the application package. If your .wmv file has been uploaded via the Manage Videos page, the default fileName is video.wmv.
