video players
 

What's you all using for video players nowadays? Something other than JW?

edit
nevermind

Thanks.

What good for using for mp4's?

lots of good ones on activeden.net

flowplayer

VLC is still the best.

I've been using flowplayer.

A third for FlowPlayer, with HTML5 fallback. Their site also provides some nice JQuery-based scripting for enhancing the look of the player in shadowboxes and other windows.

Have to disagree here. Lots of it is poorly coded, with glaring Stage setup errors, no support for streaming, and limited ad features. It's good that they provide the FLAs so you can go in and fix what's broken. The Activeden editors don't appear to spend time judging a submission based on programming quality, just if it looks different.

Wasn't it you who recommended Koolmoves recently? That's a far better investment, IMO, and it comes with lots of players.

I think flowplayer is looking the best so far. I think all those on activeden are basically what we have now, a player built off adobe player. Kind of like a ready made script.

Wow, that's a hell of a player.

Only place it didnt play on was android.

i dunno, FlowPlayer's main way of embedding is very awkward, and everything else you can do with it depends on being pretty comfortable with Javascript. If I was more of a coder FlowPlayer would be my choice.

Do either FlowPlayer or JWPlayer make the FLA source file available for purchase?

I want one that I can have the source and give it to a good Flash programmer to modify and customize.

It should play on android.

I love that one. Can I haz moar info?

I had Basic_man do bunch of modifications to JWPlayer for me. Might me worth a chat with him to see if he can handle your mods.

cool video

pretty sweet! :pimp

software looks nice for do-it-yourself'ers who aren't Flash programmers but all the players look like they came from 2003.

This is a good one too: http://www.nuevolab.com

thanks - cosmetic modifications or custom programmed features?

That looks good. Thanks for the link. Gonna play with it now.

sublime is good too, but its a paid product

A little of both wrapped into a custom WP plugin. He's got the skills, so if what you want done is doable, I'm sure he can handle it. I'm sure at the very least he'd be willing to take a look at what you want done and get back to you on it.

Both are open source, though if they use an FLA file at all it's only for basic graphics stuff. Everything is done in AS code, and it's pretty complex. FlowPlayer has a very elaborate object model.

Koolmoves is a Flash compiler so all the graphic elements are modifyable. But if any of the existing skins (or those others offer, mostly for free in their exchange forum) are good enough, then there's little extra coding to do.

think .fla is available and source for the commercial copies
