Sidebar Gadgets for Channel 9, Channel 8 and more
Friday, April 04, 2008We recently had Donovan West (LiveGadgets.net) build us a set of sidebar gadgets for Windows Vista. These gadgets use the RSS feeds from each site and let you see all of our new content as it gets posted, then (using Silverlight) you can even play our videos right there on your desktop. You can check out the gadgets (for Channel 9, Mix, C8, Edge, and on10.net) by clicking on the appropriate image below: [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -

Ice Cube talking about Silverlight...
Wednesday, November 21, 2007and the Group Manager of Platform Evangelism at Adobe feels the need to comment about it. Let me summarize. Ice Cube is involved in an Internet video project and has chosen to use Silverlight, and you can watch an interview with him about it in Silverlight. (on a side note, I decided not to include the video into my post, even though the instructions to do so are right there in the original blog entry, because it is set to auto-start when someone visits the page and I think that is just downright rude :) ) The post is interesting, [read more...]Share this -

We added a Silverlight player to Channel 8 today
Friday, September 14, 2007We used a modified version of one of the templates that ships with Expression Media Encoder as our player... and channel 8 has become the first of our sites (which include Channel 9, Channel 10, VisitMix.com and more) to have a Silverlight video player on them. And, below here, you can see that player embedded into this blog post... Note that I had to remove the 'scrubbing bar' due to some odd bug around releasing the mouse after scrubbing was completed... but we'll figure that out and get it back in as soon as we can. Check out the video above back in its [read more...]Filed under | 5 comments »Share this -

Monday, September 03, 2007Continuing on in the same pattern as my last post, adding Soapbox support to C9's forums, Adam Kinney bugged me a bit and I went ahead and added support for Silverlight Streaming as well.

Overlaying HTML over Silverlight
Tuesday, August 28, 2007In the new code that we are building for Channel 9, we have a few HTML popups here and there... floating divs for user info being one example. At the same time as we've been adding that feature, we also moved from using Windows Media Player to using Silverlight as our video player. We ran into a bit of an issue though, in that our floating HTML was sitting under the Silverlight player, no matter what I did with the z-index of the two areas of the page. That just wouldn't do, so I asked Adam Kinney (Silverlight Evangelist [read more...]Share this
