My Objective:To create a custom keyword in my Robot Framework that takes a web element, the web element being the location of where the Silverlight player is located on the page and taking a screenshot of what is visible. I do not need to interact with the Silverlight application.
When you take screenshot using selenium library it calls web driver method to translate the whole page content into an image. But for the silverlight component its not able to capture it for obvious reasons.
Ever since Firefox updated to 17.0.1, the flash and silverlight plugins just disappeared. I tried to clean installing the flash player, it did not work. I tried clean installing an earlier version of flash player, that did not work either. The plugin manager is less than useless as it says the plugin has been successfully installed yet I cannot use Netflix nor any flash video. I did all of the above once again with all plugins and addons disabled, and still nothing happened.
I have suggested my mother to use Ubuntu (16.04) because she is likely to get viruses while using Windows. She agreed but gave one condition: "I must be able to watch TV-players online", and these are (both using Silverlight):
When you try to view a presentation that uses a Silverlight player, the following error appears:
Unable to play the presentation. The media server may not be available or the media stream format may not be supported. (4001 An error has occurred.)
Proxy Server
This error can occur when you go through an authenticated proxy in order to get to the internet. Silverlight does not currently provide a means to authenticate with a proxy server. In order to use the Silverlight-based players, you must add an exception for the Mediasite server to the proxy server, or the proxy server entirely. Please contact your organization's IT staff for assistance with proxy server settings. If the proxy server cannot be bypassed, then the classic HTML-based Mediasite players can be used to view presentations. This is an option that needs to be set up on the Mediasite server, so contact your local Mediasite administrator to inquire about this option. Note that playback would only work in Internet Explorer in this case, as all other browsers use Silverlight for video playback when using an HTML player.
Firefox
There is also an issue specific to Firefox where this error can occur under certain conditions. If you experience this issue when using Firefox, but not when using Internet Explorer, then try this:
On top of that, the software gives developers a way to enable rich animations using Windows-based formats. It supports Windows Media Video (WMV), Windows Media Audio (WMA), Advanced Audio Coding, MPG3, and H.264 across all supported browsers without the need for the traditional Windows-based players. It also supports VC-1 video, but both VC-1 video and H.264 are only licensed for personal and non-commercial use.
The subject of this post is not how to aggregate video data and display it on the page, but rather how we can use the Silverlight video player, that comes with SharePoint, to play the videos in the carousel, like this;
1 option is just to render links in your markup and set the href attribute to the video Url in the document library, then when a user clicks the link, the video will open in your desktops video player. This is Ok, but not great.
So lets take a back step, when you create an Asset library in SharePoint and drop some videos in there, hovering the mouse over a video throws up a hover card which includes a button, that if clicked, plays the video using the Silverlight player, see below;
Next, I created a separate .JS file for my video player code, but you could include it in the masterpage, page layout or the page itself.
The purpose of this code is to initialise and create the media player and to hook it up to my video markup;
Silverlight is a magical sword used in the Demon Slayer quest, and can be kept afterwards. The sword is obtained by talking to Sir Prysin in Varrock Castle during the course of Demon Slayer. He will send the player on a mini-quest to obtain the 3 Silverlight keys to the box that Silverlight is held in - once the player acquires these keys and brings them back to Sir Prysin he will give the player the sword. This weapon cannot be made by players using the smithing skill.
If a player dies, Silverlight is lost and can be returned from Sir Prysin for free until the quest is complete. Afterwards, a player must buy it from him for 500 coins after losing it. But, a player could drop Silverlight, get another for free, drop that, get another and so on. After the fourth of fifth Silverlight they would start to disappear. Then the player would pick them all up, then note then in a bank and go back for more but still dropping them all that are now in note form. (It can now not be withdrawn as a note.) Silverlight can be sold to the Wise Old Man for 80 coins.
From the catalog, find the lecture you want to view, and click "Watch" or click the title of the lecture. This opens the Mediasite player in a new tab or window in your browser. You can also preview the video in the small thumbnail in the existing window.
Systems that support both Silverlight and HTML5 will stream Silverlight by default. Viewers can direct their browsers to seek the HTML5 stream rather than the Silverlight stream by editing the URL in the player page as follows:
My shockwave shows up as 23.0.0.205 and the current Adobe version released is 23.0.0.207 and I would like to know how to manually update the shockwave flash to version 23.0.0.207 from the Adobe flashplayer23_d_install.exe update file? What directory to put this update file in so Pipelight can use it?
By the way, Silverlight Plug-In5.1.41212.0libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so works very well with native Firefox version 50.0 for OpenSUSE 13.2 x86 (64-bit) and Netflix video streaming. No problems to report.
The Metro UI is not just an alternate shell. Metro is built on a new native code, Windows Runtime (WinRT), which can be called from two alternative view engines. The first is XAML, the layout language used by Microsoft's Silverlight media player and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), driven by code written in C, C++, C# or Visual Basic. The second is HTML and CSS, driven by code written in Javascript. Microsoft notes that the Metro Software Development Kit (SDK) "also includes a subset of traditional Win32, COM and .NET Framework APIs".
