ISA Server Blocking Silverlight Videos

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

Abit ironic that ISA is blocking Microsoft Silverlight! It is stopping content being shown on sites such as ITV Player.

 

This is a post with a similar issue - [isapros] Re: Silverlight through ISA 2006 - isapros - FreeLists

 

Does anyone know how to fix it please?

 

We are running ISA 2006

 

Edit: this is another site we get the problem with: http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight

I thought that was fixed in the later versions?

I knew the issue was in silverlight 1 but I thought MS knew as well and were fixing it in silverlight 2 beta.

We are using the latest silverlight

encountered the same problem today.

It seems that silverlight cannot use authentication through a proxy. Fixed it by creating a new rule without using AD authentication to that mentioned site. Place this rule above the rule with AD authentication.

Actually has anyone tried the firewall client as it may fix the issue (although I am not keen to mass roll the client out)

We have deployed the firewall client since day one and never had any problems with it. I would not advise installing FWC on any servers though as you want to keep them as SecureNAT clients.

Anyone got a good sliverlight URL I can test when I get into work?

 

We have ISA 2006, am pretty sure it works?

There is an embedded silverlight video on this page:

Silverlight Media and Expression Encoder : Silverlight Streaming Plug-in for Expression Encoder

 

It is actually discussing the plugin for expression that lest you use the free 10gb of MS streaming hosting really easily. It actually looks really awesome

Seems fine here!!!

We dont use Auth and its still blocked. Do you have to allow a different port or something?
