Scoble needed Silverlight today.

  • Article

ScobleBuffer I'm sitting here tonight watching the "Twitter Video" which is basically Robert Scoble interviewing the folks at Twitter.com

Anyway, I noticed the "buffering. ." (See Image) overlay was stuck, maybe it was a bug whom knows but it was starting to get annoying as I found it distracting "get out of the way" I thought.

I clicked on "Popup Video" and nothing happened. I'm thinking, this isn't good at all, not to be critical of Podtech.net or anything (actually I like the GUI for this video player a lot). At any rate, I was thinking that Scoble usually has some great quality video in his archives, wouldn't it be great to not only see it in HD quality but also Full Screen.

An example of how great the "Blog View" to "Full View" is via Michael's blog. It being a Twitter Sunday, it was fitting to use his as the prime example. In his Silverlight app, there is a "FullScreen" button, when clicked goes Fullscreen. Very seamless...

Given Silverlight has a fairly neat way of going fullscreen and given I watch a fair amount of his Video's from time to time... can someone get the Scoble a Silverlight Video Player stat!...

(If somehow Scoble stumbles upon this, I'll make you a deal (Put my money where my crit is) - I'll rebuild the current PodTech Video Player pixel for pixel (seamless interchange) in Silverlight if you go Silverlight on the blog heheh :P)...
