Solution

  • Does your streaming source contain multi-resolution tracks?

    This kind of problem may appear when testing on a WP8 Emulator and then deploying the app to a WP7 device. Specially if the WP7 device is a first-generation device, like HTC HD7.

    Basically this happens because the WP8 emulator and Wp8 devices do support multi-resolution, but old devices do not support multi-resolution tracks. You can read more here: http://blog.supaywasi.com/2013/01/smooth-streaming-multi-resolution-support-for-windows-phone/

    So, basically you have to handle the ManifestReady event on your WP7 app and RestrictTracks to only tracks of the same resolution. For WP8 devices you will not need to this.
