how to play local avi file in mediaplayer

[Mac P]

Hello,

I have created few help files using Techsmith's Camtasia studio. The file is converted to avi. I want to create a page in aspx that will have silverlight xap file with mediaplayer playing the .avi file from local system.

When i set source of mediaitem to local path it displays message that file is not found.
Any ideas?

Regards
Mac

Hi Mac P,

 If you're referencing file from your Silverlight app on your local machine - it's considered cross-schema problem and it's restricted by the Silverlight. In order to play it - you can add it to the xap file as a Resource, or share it on the web in a web Server (like IIS) and reference it from there, or you may add it to the web project and reference it relatively to your xap file. 
You may read the full story about those restrictions on msdn. 
Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,
