In this Sprint, we have the new feature -
uploading video files in the Silverlight Application (SL5) and then we can
play the video directly.
In order to test this feature, I need to get some video files in
advance.
I found out a tool that can download a video from YouTube directly and
save it as .mp4 file, but after upload, I couldn't play the video
successfully in SL5.
I used iPhone 5 to record a video (.mov) and I played the
video successfully in SL5.
I found out a tool
to convert .mov to .mp4. After upload, I played the video successfully in SL5.
My colleague used
Windows Phone to record a video (.mp4). After upload, I couldn't play the video
successfully in SL5.
If I changed
.mov/.mp4 above to .mp3, after upload, I played the video successfully in SL5.
Per my
understanding, Silverlight 5 should support .mp4 format. From my testing
experience, I can’t play .mp4 video from Windows Phone successfully.
From this article of MSDN, I still can’t find the answer
if Desktop Silverlight 5 can play mp4 video of Windows Phone successfully.
If users upload .mp4 video from Windows Phone 7 in our
Silverlight 5 on Windows 7 and it doesn't work , I will remind them: the file
can be renamed as mp3 and upload it again.
It will work.
