    Hi,

    Is it possible in silverlight, to build a custom videoplayer that works with multiple videofiles in stead of 1 videofile ?
    In the videoplayer I want a timebar of 24h, and depending on the position in the timebar I need to skip to the correct videofile.

    Example: I have 3 videofiles A, B and C
    A duration = 5h38m33s
    B duration = 14h54m41s
    C duration = 3h26m46s
    (total A + B + C = 24h)
    When I skip to 12h37m43s in the timebar of the videoplayer, I need to skip to videofile B and go to 6h59m10s inside videofile B for playback.

    Is it possible to build something like that in silverlight (using C# as coding language)?
    I have never tried silverlight, since I have no need for it.
    If I can create this in silverlight I will take a closer look to it, but of course I need to know for sure if silverlight can provide the possibilities for this (needs to be webbased). Not asking for code, only asking if it is possible and maybe a few pointers to components I can use for this.

    Thanks in advance!

    Anyone that can give me info on the possibilities in Silverlight to build an application like this ?

    Seems like a nice project to learn Silverlight, but if it's not possible in Silverlight I'll pass on the opportunity.

     In case anyone cares: I managed to built this application, and it was indeed a nice opportunity for a silverlight introduction.
