Long time lurker, first time asker-of-questions.
We have Sharepoint 2010 running for our company intranet, and we want the ability to stream videos locally. SP2010 is awful for this.
I'm looking towards Windows Media Services 2008, a free download/addon for Windows Server 2008.
I've Googled and Googled, but I just cannot find anything which answers this:
How do you actually upload the media to Windows Media Services 2008?
Our IT department looks after the servers (and this is further complicated by being half-managed by a third party company). I need to know whether I will be able to upload media to WMS2008 over our network, like with a URL we can go to and click up (finding the file on our computer), rather than having to do it on the actual server itself.
I know this will sound like a daft question, but I just can't find the answer. Help me Stackoverflow, you're my only hope.
I'm not sure if you have already found answer to this question, but I am also working on Windows Media Services(WMS) 2008 for streaming videos and found your question while googling.
I have happened to manage to publish a video using WMS and view it on a client machine.
I'll quickly summarize the it for you. Basically you need to put your video file on the server, and then create a publishing point in WMS (using wizard or advanced mode)and use the mms URL to view video using Windows media player.
You can refer this guide for configuring and streaming videos using WMS.
Please let me know if you need more details on this.
Hope this helps.

I've been searching through forums and blogs, and am having a hard time finding anything concrete. My question is simply: how can I create a chat component in my Xamarin Forms app using a Linux/Apache server? I don't have a budget, which makes an efficient solution tricky. I see that SignalR is the way to go in the ASP.NET realm, but I'm not sure how doable it would be on a Linux server. (My hands are tied).
Any good SignalR alternatives for a Linux server these days that I can plug into Xamarin? Or is there a different route I should look for all together?
Thanks for any leads!
I'm trying to learn a few things about SharePoint and I would like to figure out what do I have to do to make my content available online so I can access it from my other computer in my work / home so I can add documents to it.
I did some research on how to set up websites on IIS and setting up my DNS host on Windows Server 2012 with some demo html files I've made. I tried to do research online with port forwarding but I can't find info clear enough for me to get the job done.
Could somebody maybe give me some direction on where to look and a checklist on what I need to complete this task? I feel like I'm shooting in the air trying to figure this out. I've never really dabbled in this before.
Here are some resources you might find useful in getting this setup. It's difficult to say exactly what you need to do without knowing what it is you've already done.
I haven't watched through the channel9 video but according to the description it includes how to setup internet facing sites in an on-premise environment.
Providing SharePoint is up and running, it should just be a case of configuring the Alternate Access Mappings for internet access, DNS and Port Forwarding.

Hi im developing a todo/reminder app for both Windows 8 (RT) and Windows Phone 8.
I want to enable the user to sync their todo-items between these two.
I know there is a roaming application data storage for Windows 8, but is it possible to access it from the phone?
Another idea i had was creating an xml file and uploading it to skydrive, but then i would have no push functionality :(
And there is also Azure which seems to be the most complicated solution..
What way is the best to choose?
Thanks for your help
You can use Live SDK (SkyDrive) and Windows Azure Mobile Services to accomplish this. The Live SDK will allow you to upload and retrieve items from SkyDrive and you can use mobile services for push notifications. Here is an example of what you want to do.
I know that the thread is a bit old, but it still pops up in search results. So, here's the answer.
I had exactly the same problem. So, I have developed a small library which does exactly that - synchronizing the data between Windows Phone and Windows Azure. Code is on GitHub and here is a nicely packed NuGet package. You could easily port it to WinRT and use SQLite as local data storage.
API is very simple. You just call methods to do CRUD operations and when you are done, you call SynchronizeAsync to synchronize data with WAMS. The synchronization goes both ways. In case of conflict, the latest copy gets the preference.
In the meantime Windows Phone 8.1 is released and it changes the answer to your question - today there are universal apps and they share the same roaming storage on both Phone and regular Windows.
You're going to want to use Mobile Services (www.windowsazure.com/mobile) for this scenario. After you login at manage.windowsazure.com, grab the WinStore C# SDK and WP8 SDK. You're going to need to point both to the same SQL db and Mobile Service. Of course, if you need blob or table storage as well, that's supported. You'd just access those through scripts under the DATA tab.
To check out a production app that's already doing this, I'd point your to Slot Machine by the SeeSharpGuys.

I just wanted to know if there is a way to upload images to Instagram WITHOUT using iOS / Android?
I'm really desperate for a solution, if I can't find anything I will have to run a virtual android device or something like that (I have a virtual machine running Windows XP 24/7 anyway)!
Instagram's official RESTful API does not allow for uploading photos, since they want to encourage "life on the go."
However, some work has been put together to document their iPhone API, and some unofficial client libraries have even been made. Check out https://github.com/mislav/instagram/wiki
It seems that's your only alternative at the moment. None of the unofficial libraries look very complete, so you'd have to do the work of sending requests manually, using the reverse-engineered API specs provided in the wiki.
Maybe this is a dumb question!
I'm just wandering is there any way/web part integrating with SharePoint, by which I can communicate with others instantly.
The reason behind this requirement is that I still have not found any workaround to communicate with my colleagues instantly, like MSN, in SharePoint.
P.s If I start building one, where should I get started!
Thanks for your input and forgive me if my question is stupid!
You can integrate Microsoft Office Communcations Server into SharePoint apparently. Gives you access to MSN Messenger internally to your enterprise, among other things.
Users who run Windows Live Messenger will get a precense icon for all user lookups when their email settings are configured properly. It requires all users to add each other to their live accounts, so it might not be the solution you are looking for. Another way to get the precense icon is by using Microsoft Office Communications Server as Moo suggested.
This also integrates well into Outlook and is the way Microsoft decided to implement communication in the Office suit.

Here is another open source feature I have been working on.
EDIT: The name of the feature is Sharepoint Messenger. You can find it either google search, codeplex or the link below.
