I am trying to get Vimeo videos to play in a windows 7 phone app. I used the answer here: How can I find download links for vimeo videos? to get a Vimeo URL that looks like this:
http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:29415171/f44f7a1dc39fb9b6ebede558e459274e/1310792258
The problem is when I use a non-mobile web browser the video will redirect you to the MP4 version of the file which plays correctly but if played on my Win7 phone (any browser) it doesn’t work. Instead I get a “We are having trouble displaying this page” and a “Error: HTTP 500 Server Internal error”.
Does anyone know how to work around this to get the video to play? Maybe another approach entirely?
I saw this similar question here vimeo video as .mp4 format in android for the Android but its 2 months old and no one has even commented or answered. I know it’s possible to play Vimeo videos in W7 Phone because there are apps for it.
Any help would be appreciated. As always thanks in advance.
For starters, ensure the version of Windows Phone being tested in Windows Phone 7 Mango. As that version has IE 9 with HTML5 video support.
I then believe you need a paid Vimeo account to create mobile videos.
It seems that Vimeo has now added mobile support for Win 7 phones on its site. So if you go to a Vimeo video http://vimeo.com/m// a page will open that will allow you to play and successfully watch the video.
This is not the best solution, as I would rather have a direct link to the video, but for now it's a working solution. If in the future I figure out a way to directly link to the video files I will post it here (or if someone else has done this I would love to know how you did it)

This is probably a really stupid question to many of you out there but I personally don't know and would like to understand, is it possible to use the share data contract for UWP to share and upload photos to the Instagram Windows 10 app.
As I am aware only touchscreen devices running windows 10 can publish videos and photos to Instagram natively so if it works would be very handy as it would allow unsupported devices to upload and share content.
If you have installed the Instagram app on your devices, you will find that it has registered protocol in the system.
Then you could use the UWP Share data APIs to share images to Instagram.
Here’s MS official Sharing content source app sample.
I searched all over net and only found PhotoChooserTask which works only for images. For video I found that there is no way for phone 8 and it comes in 8.1.
Anyway, I found an app

This app is for phone 8 and can play video from any storage. Is there any way and I am missing something.
You need an special permission from MS for accessing KnownFolders in WP8.0. In WP 8.1 that permission is not required.
It's true, there's no API for videos to choose.
With Windows Phone 8.1, they provided the API in it.
and it kinda looks like this, BUT this string won't do the whole thing..
var userVideoChoose = KnownFolders.VideoLibrary;
I don't really know more.
Is there any way to play youtube live stream on Windows Phone 8 & C#?
1) I have tried mytoolkit: it can play simple video but shows "no_video_urls_found" on live events.
2) Mobile IE shows "Live event playback is not supported on this client" so I cannot use browser to play it.
Here is YouTube channel which contains live events I would like to play.
Is there any other way to play live stream with Windows Phone 8?
Besides Flash streaming, YouTube uses HLS. HLS is from Apple and means "HTTP Live Streaming". It's not standardized, but Apple tries to do so.
This means you need to find the URL and then can use any library which can decode HLS, e.g. Windows Phone Streaming Media and then play the stream in a video player, where 2 examples are given at given the Codeplex site.
I am seeking solutions to record a video or an audio from a web camera and microphone from clients' side and upload them to a web server or Youtube server.
Flash is not allowed to be used. So are there any other solutions?
I have searched the similar topics for a while but found that they are not helpful.
Is the SilverLight a possible option?
If it is, how to do that with SL?
Thanks,
Update:
Is there any solution which could be able to cross platforms, such as on the iPhone and iPAD?
I research this Q,and more yet Articles:
1) At dotnetcurry article
2)At codeproject article
Or this great post , From Silverlight blog try top articles.
I would like to try to create an Asp.Net C# application to record audio online using Adobe Flash Media Server. Could you please tell if it is doable, and suggest what I could start with?
Thanks.
There are some options to you:
Microphone access in Silverlight via Flash and JavaScript
Accessing Web Camera and Microphone
Audio recorder Silverlight 4 sample
Sorry, that this is not a Adobe Flash Media Server, but I hope it will be helpful for doing what you want.
