JW Player for Silverlight

The JW Player for Silverlight is a simple, flexible player for displaying Windows Media video, audio and (live) streams on your website. While not yet as widely installed nor feature-rich as Flash, Silverlight is excellent for publishers who have content encoded in WMV or WMA. The player supports a list of configuration variables and a javascript API.

There's a separate overview page for the JW Player for Flash.

Documentation

Source code

The source code can be obtained in a zip (the small links at the bottom of the pages) or through Subversion: 

svn co http://developer.longtailvideo.com/svn/trunk/sl1

If you don't have a Subversion client, check out Tortoise (Windows) or SC Plugin (MAC).

Full changelogs for each version can be requested here.
