  Web Playlist provider Sample Reply Contact I'm having problems getting the WebPlaylist Provider Sample to work.   I have compiled the provider sample.  I have registered the sample as SamplePlaylistProvider.ProvderSample using regasm.   I have added the custom provider to extention wpl in iis webplaylists/playlist providers and set it to use File based and 64 (as I used regasm x64).  I have also placed advertisement.wmv in the directory.    MediaDirectory = @"H:\Projects\webPlaylist\"; Advertisement = "advertisement.wmv"; My request url: http://localhost:80/request/tutorial.wpl Should give me advertisement.wmv wrapped around <MEDIAFILE> correct?  Here is my iis errors Module IIS Web Core Notification MapRequestHandler Handler PlaylistHandler-SamplePlaylistProvider.ProvderSample-wpl Error Code 0x80070002 Requested URL http://localhost:80/request/tutorial.wpl Physical Path H:\Projects\webPlaylist\tutorial.wpl Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous What am I doing wrong :)? ** I have also tried with out file based and I get a 500 error Module PlaylistHandler Notification ExecuteRequestHandler Handler PlaylistHandler-SamplePlaylistProvider.ProvderSample-wpl Error Code 0x80070002 Requested URL http://localhost:80/request/tutorial.wpl Physical Path H:\Projects\webPlaylist\tutorial.wpl Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous

Also, in this case the provider is not a file based provider as it does not have a physical playlist file associated. That may be the problem

  Re: Web Playlist provider Sample Reply Contact You should not register the provider for file based handler because then IIS expects that a tutorial.wpl physical file is present.  As to the 500 error ... Can you ensure that your provider is registered correctly and can be launched. Try running the following VB script ...  set provider = CreateObject("SamplePalylistProvider.ProviderSample") and see that succeeds (which means your managed provider is registered fine as a COM component). If that is working fine then probably some error in the provider which should be easy to debug by attaching the debugger to your code.

There is a typo with missing 'i'  Make sure when you register your provider in the IIS manager you give the exact same name or even better correct the name and register the DLL again :)

  Re: Web Playlist provider Sample Reply Contact Yep Used the UI to register the provider in iis.   Config Entry:  <add name="PlaylistHandler-SamplePlaylistProvider.ProviderSample-wpl" path="*.wpl" verb="GET,HEAD" type="" modules="PlaylistHandler" scriptProcessor="" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Read" allowPathInfo="false" preCondition="bitness64" responseBufferLimit="4194304" /> Regasm output : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>regasm C:\Users\Jason\Desktop\pr ovidersample\providersample\managed\bin\Release\providersample.dll Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility 2.0.50727.1434 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2004.  All rights reserved.

  Re: Web Playlist provider Sample Reply Contact Ok I renamed the [ProgId("SamplePlaylistProvider.ProviderSample")] to correctly ad the i. Cleaned & Built. Then re-registered the dll (I don't need to unregister first do I?) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>regasm C:\Users\Winston1000\Desktop\providersample\providersample\managed\bin\Release\providersample.dll  Then  ProviderName : Wrapper Playlist  Description : Ad Wrapper Playlist  Program Id: SamplePlaylistProvider.ProviderSample  File Extention: wpl (notice no dot)  Bitness: 64 bit (Because I used the Framework64 regasm) Then access http://localhost/request/tutorial.wpl w/ Error below Module PlaylistHandler Notification ExecuteRequestHandler Handler PlaylistHandler-SamplePlaylistProvider.ProviderSample-wpl Error Code 0x80070002 Requested URL http://localhost:80/request/tutorial.wpl Physical Path H:\Projects\webPlaylist\tutorial.wpl Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous

Go to Playlist UI main page Click on Edit Feature Settings Check the "allow absolute URLs" check box This should fix the 404 error. This is a security feature for shared hosters.

  Re: Web Playlist provider Sample Reply Contact Ok now I'm getting:  I think I saw the 0x80070002 error when I had a 500 too.  Maybe you can upload a working version to skydrive for testing and compaison.  I've found a few errors in your post...probably not an issue but.. is it playlistprovder.dll or playlistprov(i)der.  Also as mentioned before   SamplePlaylistProvider.Prov(i)derSample.  Thanks for all your hard work...just hope we can test soon.  Please include everything if you do make a vanilla install working version and I'm sure we'll figure it out.   IIS Web Core Notification MapRequestHandler Handler PlaylistHandler-SamplePlaylistProvider.ProviderSample-wpl Error Code 0x80070002 Requested URL http://localhost:80/request/tutorial.wpl Physical Path H:\Projects\webPlaylist\tutorial.wpl Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous

  Re: Web Playlist provider Sample Reply Contact One other thing to note about the sample provider is that it wraps the requested content in a playlist that serves an ad first.  Make sure that you have the content correctly named and placed in the media directory.  If you're requesting tutorial.wpl, make sure you've got tutorial.WMV in the media directory.  You should be able to request both that file and advertisement.wmv directly to confirm that the files are accessible.
