I forgot to mention, all this is live. No refresh (like Flash alone) and most of the time, not noticeable unless you have a huge drop in bandwidth all of a sudden.

It's not just a player. It's really actually truly a server. Kind of like Flash Media Server but way more advanced, they are 10 different leagues apart. Check out http://www.streamflashhd.com/ which is an Adobe/Akamai project demonstrating using Silverlight with Flash. I don't know who in their right mind would even consider using Java for Video. If you are going to do that, you might as well download the HD video to your computer... Silverlight is really a server, it's capabilities include downgrading live streams based on your bandwidth. It's used by some of the biggest companies, and word around is Hulu will soon switch to a Flash/Silverlight setup. Example: If you are at 10MBPS when you first tap the video and then all of a sudden you drop to 1MBPS bandwidth, it will downgrade the video, and upgrade the video if you gain more available bandwidth, creating a constant smooth stream. Flash alone does not have this capability because it is downloading the video just as if you were downloading it yourself. Flash with silverlight though, it gains this ability. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Thomas Creutz Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 3:11 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: jQuery SL - jQuery Silverlight Plugin Feedback Thomas Creutz schrieb: > Jordon Bedwell schrieb: >> I suggest you check out http://www.smoothhd.com/ before you start >> dogging Silverlight.
