Radmediaplayer

[peter shitote]

Greetings Telerik Team,

I would like to integrate Radmediaplayer into on of my websites using sitefinity. I have gone through the forums and I have not come across a single step by step tutorial on how to integrate/add the player into my website. I am having problems where to start and how to go about it. Kindly assist me get started. I am still a sitefinity newbie. Thanks in advance

Hello peter shitote,

To use RadMediaPlayer, you should create a Silverlight Application. Then you have to build a xap file and  add it to Sitefinity's project. Afterwords you have to call the xap from ASP.NET Silverlight control.

You have to register tag prefix for System.Web.UI.SilverlightControls in your web config

<pages>
   <controls>
        <add assembly="System.Web.Silverlight" namespace="System.Web.UI.SilverlightControls" tagPrefix="asp"></add>

Then declare the the Silverlight control in your template

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="holder1" runat="server">
<asp:Silverlight ID="player" InitParameters="videoUrl={0},title={1},description={2}" runat="server" Source="~/Sitefinity/CustomSilverlightControls/Telerik.Samples.RadMediaPlayer.xap" MinimumVersion="2.0.31005.0" Width="475" Height="356" />
</asp:PlaceHolder>

The better option is using HTML or JavaScript

Best wishes,

Hello Ivan Dimitrov,
I tried to follow the steps you gave me, but to no avail. I created the xap file and referred to it in my sitefinity control and the video is not showing let alone the component. Could you please attach me an example sitefinity project with radmedia player? If that is not possible then give alternative solutions to implement.

Thank you

Hi peter shitote,

Below is a sample code that uses Sitefinity's built in xap for RadMedia player.

<object width="300" height="300" data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2">
<param name="source" value="Sitefinity/TelerikSilverlight/Telerik.Silverlight.xap"/>
<param name="InitParams" value="videoUrl=http://localhost:6291/WorkProject3x/Libraries/Video/WindowsMedia.sflb.ashx,title=WindowsMedia,description="/>
<param value="True" name="Windowless"/> <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0.50401.0"
style="text-decoration: none;"> <img

</object>

HI,
Do you guys have a step by step tutorial somewhere that can explain adding media player support in Sitefinity Project.
There is no clear way to do that.
Even telerik documentation is very confusing.

Hello Abhishek,

You can take a look at the following articles at MSDN

• How to: Add Silverlight to a Web Page by Using HTML
• How to: Add Silverlight to a Web Page by Using JavaScript
