Hi Vishal. I am the administrator of an Internet only Station. The streaming is based on Windows Media Services and SSPL that are combining recorded videos and Live broadcasts. A common scenario using the WMS. But... we want to get rid of the Embedded Media Player and replace it with Silverlight and Media Element. The reason is the compatibility issues with browsers other that IE. Properties like Controls.currentAudioLanguageIndex (we are also multilingual) are only exposed if Media Player is embedded as ActiveX object that can be done without plugins only on IE. The next problem is that if we use Silverlight with our current configuration the use of MBR streaming should be dropped because it is not honored in Silverlight. The next problem is that Smooth Streaming files, that is the future, can only be streamed from IIS with Media Services but now simulated live scenario like the one needed for an Internet only station cannot be used if Web Playlists don't have wall-clock functionality... So as it seems we are stack with WMS SSPL, MBR files and many select case blocks to make use of as many browsers as we can. I would appreciate if you have any thoughts.
