Building video players in Flash with the Adobe Open Source Media Framework

The Open Source Media Framework is Adobe’s community-centered approach to standardizing the way that media players—and, in particular, video players—are built on the Adobe Flash Platform. Although still in prelease, the OSMF encompasses media playback functionality

, playlists, branding, advertising, and other monetization aspects, and represents a powerful and comprehensive attempt to standardize a huge portion of the work currently executed in Adobe Flash.

How to embed Ripe FLV Player into website?

Here is some tips for embedding the player into website.

This settings xml can be fed to the player using flashvars.

<object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase= “http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab #version=9,0,0,0″ width=”470″ height=”350″ id=”mediaplayer” align=”left”><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain” /><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”false” /><param name=”flashvars”

value = “settings=config.xml/.php/.asp/anyscript”><param name=”movie” value=”mediaplayer.swf” /><param name=”quality” value=”high” /><param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″ />

<embed src=”mediaplayer.swf?settings= config.xml/.php/.asp/anyscript” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#000000″ width=”470″ height=”350″ name=”mediaplayer” align=”left” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” allowFullScreen=”false” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” />

Xmoov and Lighttpd Streaming with Ripe Player

Dear Visitors,

Finally we have added the new feature of Xmoov streaming and lighttpd streaming with Hitasoft’s Ripe FLV Player 1.0.

Why PHP Streaming?

You can ’stream’ FLVs or you can use ‘progressive download’. Not many of us use ’streaming’ because you need a streaming media server software for this, like Macromedia Flash Communication Server or Flash Media Server, and this has a considerable cost.

You have two obvious advantages with streaming: you can seek to an arbitrary time in the video (still you land on a key frame, I think) and the file is not cached (and eats your bandwidth every time, but I can see how this is considered an advantage).

All Flash Media Servers are not open source and its need more time for installation.  Now it’s possible to stream a FLV using a simple PHP script and FLVMDI injected data.

The Most Popular Php streaming:

• Xmoov Php Streaming
• Lighttpd Php Streaming

These new streaming methods are available as add-ons with Ripe Web FLV Player 1.0.
Still what are you waiting for??? Start migrating your website from Progressive download to php streaming and save your videos being cached….
