The Oxygen SMIL Player is an open a-smil player implementation based on Silverlight, that is meant to be connected to a digital signage CMS like Oxygen media platform or others supporting a-smil.

It is currently in "alpha" state, which means that it is neither feature-complete nor tested very well!

[edit] How do I use the player?

Okay, you installed the player and propably already noticed the textbox that says "Enter Smil Player Url here". To get this URL you have to follow the steps starting at point 5 in create a SMIL player in the Oxygen Management Suite. After adding the player to your team just copy the SMIL URL into the textbox and press start. The player will immediately start playing your content - in case you already added content in the footage section.

[edit] Options

There are different options you can choose from before you start the player.

  • Autostart Playout on next startup: Starts the playout after starting player without pressing "Start"
  • Make Player Fullscreen: No need to explain, right?
  • Hide Error Popups: Hides every error message. This ensures you won't see any ugly error messages.
  • Enable automatic software updates: If enabled, the player will always look for an update before starting.
  • Force Software Update: Manually start a software update by pressing this button.


If you embedd the Smil Player on your own website you can also set all parameters via html. just add this line:

<param name="initParams" value="Autostart=true;AutoUpdate=true;HideErrors=true;SmilUri=YourSmilUrl;" />
