Bamboo SharePoint Video Library Beta 2 is Now Available

Hello Binh,

Thank you for this fantastic solution.  I have it installed in my test environment and everything is working as expected with the exception of anonymous users issues.

My test environment consists of W2K3 x64, WSS 3.0 (only), my test Web application has anonymous enabled, and Bamboo SharePoint Video Libary Beta 2.  Anonymous users can access the entire Web site with the exception of playing the video (.flv) itself.  They are prompted with the authentication dialog box, after clicking 'Cancel', they'd get the 401 error.

Am I missing something?  Is there something I should try?  Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Hello Binh,

Great solution, all working well simple and clean.

We have many MACS users, when they try to upload a file either with Safari or Firefox

they can browse and get the file but will not upload,  after some minutes not all the time an error of server time out comes up. So no upload with a MAC.

Also playing back files .wmv even after instaling silverlight for MAC addon all we get is a Red screen.

Thanks again for such a superb work.

When uploading videos larger than 20MB, the page times out.  In the trace logs, I see the following errors:

I am using 1 front end and SQL Server 2008 STD, both on Windows 2008 STD x86.  Any help is appreciated, also, it works fine with videos of the smaller size (around 7MB)

Install seem to go smooth, however after I upload a test video I see the thumbnail but when i click on it the bamboo viewer comes up but only a black screen ... but if i click on the link it opens in media player ... any ideas

Hello Binh,

The solution works fine in a english site but we`re having problems with thumbnails in other language installations.

We have a spanish site and creating thumbails always fail. Searching a little bit we have discovered that is the call to the ws (_layouts/Bamboo.VideoLibrary/Bamboo.VLib.snapshot.ashx?snapshot=4&vlib={8AF814C1-A84A-4C5D-B27E-9409417204EE}) which is always return an error.

This is the error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Bamboo.VideoLibrary.SnapshotHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)

  at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()

  at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)

Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services.

Any ideas? Could it be something about the colum names?

Thanks in advance
