Silverlight for mac problems movie#

Has anyone encountered this or have any guidance?Ĭolor primaries : BT.601-6 525, BT.1358 525, BT.1700 NTSC, SMPTE 170M I tried disabling the download status update, but the video still froze. I have searched all over the net for some data on this problem without any luck. Tested on a Mac Mini with 1.83 GHz Duo, 1 GB RAM and OS X (10.5.8) the silverlight app crashed in safari, but not in firefox, though firefox performance was very bad when the problem occurred. Tested on a Mac Pro with 8 cores at 3GHz, 12 GB RAM and OS X (10.5.8), the silverlight app does not freeze. Then if I close Firefox and re-open it will download to 89% 9 out of 10 times.

if I open Firefox, it will download to 80% 9 out of 10 times. I did notice that the % that is loaded before the player freezes is pretty constant for each instance of browser used i.e. We were streaming it from a server in that was not local, then tried streaming on a local network machine (which was much faster to test) but still had the problem. The silverlight app is not frozen on a fast machine though and I can navigate to other screens within the app and go back to the player, but the same problem still exists. It starts downloading, but once it hits a certain point (roughly 80% to 98.8%) the downloading stops and the player will no longer play or do anything.

The problem is: when the movie is played, it plays fine. The details on the file we are currently using to test with are at the end of this entry. This is only with a Mac there are no problems at all on the PC. We have an issue using progressive download for full movies, yet shorter clips of 10 minutes or less are fine. It has been a problem on several types of Mac machines, from a beast of a Mac Pro, to a standard Mac Mini, to a MacBook Pro that is relatively new. This problem is strictly a problem when on a Mac using Leopard and/or Snow Leopard with current updates. It plays many different flavors of clips and everything works fine on the PC. I am developing a video asset manager for clips and full movies using Silverlight 3.
