Hi all,
I have a silverlight video included in an HTML page which was created by Expression Web 3.
Everything is fine as long as I open the file manually and play the video. But if an anchor on the page is targeted by a hyperlink somewhere else, clicking that hyperlink navigates the browser to that anchor and the page loads, but the video doesn't play.
After some research I realized Silverlight uses the address of the page to locate the video file, and since the address contains the anchor name as in "http://test.com/folder/page.htm#anchor", Silverlight is unable to find the video since it considers the #anchor
section to be part of the address. Consequently, the following error message is shown in the Silverlight video player:
"Could not open media file 'http://test.com/mymedia.mp4#anchor' 4001 an error has occurred."
How do I fix this?
