Seeking Flash Expert w/ flowplayer & CDN experience

Posted: Jan 12, 2010

I'm currently starting a project for a flash video player that is capable of streaming live content and that can run off a CDN backbone and is able to scale quickly. This player will also be extended into use as a channel video player to play static videos (see hulu.com), function as an embeddable player within our social network application and the capability to be shared outside the platform. We require that there is some level of support to the final software.

I am looking at two avenues, either building a player and backend system from scratch using Flex or going the flowplayer route. What I don't have is a flowplayer expert at this point. If you are that person I need some convincing that this isn't just a crap open source player. If you work for flowplayer please chime in, your product looks good from the surface I just need to know more about it.

Thank you,

Tony Peterson

Hi Tony,

Why don't you drop us a mail with some more details about where your currently at right now and we can take it from there.

We've done extensive custom Flowplayer work for clients such as Sorenson Media, TV3, Movieclips.com, Widen and many others, including our semi-exclusive plugins being used by many major US and UK universities and various institutions.

Flowplayer Vs Own player

Hi Tony

Just wanted to share our experience, we are working on a video syndication network www.amphitube.com , we wanted to use our custom player but moved to flowplayer due to many features , but since now its a custom application, we wanted to use our own adserving engine but not 3rd party plugins but this is not possible and we are stuck

these are the considerations to you to take before deciding what to use

Problems with flowlayer

1. Not too many Developers or teams or less support with experience in flowplayer but there are many to work on a custom flash player
2. i did reach liam team to see if they can be of help but no luck

so please make sure of your choice consider if flowplayer has everything you need and above that you have right resources to do it otherwise you will be stuck like me, just a word of caution

thanks
