Hi Vishal, 1. No, the advertisements cannot be skipped. 2. The advertisements are local. We also want to log the statistics & authenticate the users. How can one decide which platform to choose for their requirement. Anything published regarding this? Mathi

We are using WMS serverside playlist in our application - I just found IIS7 Web Playlists CTP2, I'm trying to understand the difference between these two. Our requirement is to add advertisements like TV commercials to a main video. I appreciate any inputs on this, mainly the correct platform to...

This is great DREA, I am glad to see you are helping people uncover really cool scenarios. Have you also tried installing Bit Rate Throttling, Web Playlists along with this. Web Playlists would can import client side playlists asx and then give you a single url that you can play from anywhere. Regards...

Thanks, for liking the post as well as helping answer my question. I get your scenario now, we could extend httpd logic to give complete entries or even complete playlists.

When you register a register a provider, what is that “ProgramID”? COM GUID? I’m just using that sample which was provided in the site and it has the below: [ Guid ( "D5178953-96A0-4ebd-B511-024897DA2C09" )] I just used the same Guid there while creating a new provider. I’ve just added the...

Hi Jason Could you please elaborate on the optional executable? What exactly are you referring to here. In the current release CTP1 of web playlists, the only way to create a dynamic playlist is by writing an isx file and serving. however, we are releasing CTP2 very soon that will allow you to write...

We will be shipping modules throughout this year and next. We released Web Playlist CTP1 end of Feb. Watch out for more good things on the way :) http://blogs.iis.net/vsood/archive/2008/02/28/iis-7-media-pack-web-playlists-is-live.aspx
