Silverlight Implementation

This memo provides links pertaining to Spring plug-in library implementation for the Microsoft Silverlight framework.

Background

The implementation was undertaken in Norway by broadcaster tv2, following the recommended standard procedure as documented at https://kantarmedia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/public/pages/159727252/BARB+TVPR+Project.

Please refer to section Documentation to implement the Streaming Tag and the general streaming implementation documentation at Implementation of Stream Measurement for Barb TV Player Report

tv2 implemented an adapter for the Silverlight player and called the tracking method in the SpringStreams library. See script externalPlayer-4.0.js below.
