Dear All,

I am trying to run video streaming using silverlight example (installed with Wowza server).

When I run Default.html video stream play on local server smoothly. Whereas, when i try to play stream on client machine XML open in IE showing detail of audio and video,

URL I am using to play stream on client machine is;

[http://SERVER\_IP:1935/vod/mp4:mycoolvideo.mov/Manifest](http://SERVER_IP:1935/vod/mp4:mycoolvideo.mov/Manifest) (as defined on [https://www.wowza.com/docs/quick-start-guides](https://www.wowza.com/docs/quick-start-guides))

How can I play the video using silverlight and Wowza.

Key frame frequency is critical. It has to be between 1 and 4 seconds. 2 seconds is ideal.

Is there an audio track? Video without audio can work, but not reliably. It is best to have an audio track.

Also, there updated Silverlight examples here:

[https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/smoothstreamingexampleplayers/SmoothStreamingExamplePlayers.zip](https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/smoothstreamingexampleplayers/SmoothStreamingExamplePlayers.zip)

These versions (Live and vod players) have improved error handling and multi-bitrate features.

Source code is included and you can modify with VS 2010 or Expression Blend 4.

You need to use a Silverlight player. If you enter the manifest directly in a browser you will see the manifest, which can be useful for debugging but won’t play the stream. You can download the Wowza Silverlight Smooth Streaming example players here:

[https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/smoothstreamingexampleplayers/SmoothStreamingExamplePlayers.zip](https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/smoothstreamingexampleplayers/SmoothStreamingExamplePlayers.zip)

Unzip, and go to this folder:

SimpleSmoothStreaming\clientSilverlight

Open Default.html and enter your manifest URL in the text box. You can place these files on your web server or just open Default.html in your file explorer by double clicking it.
