Flashcomguru.com: JW FLV Media Player 3.14 Now Available

Posted At : February 12, 2008 9:08 AM | Posted By : Stefan Richter | Related Categories: FMS , Videos & Players , Tools

If you haven't heard of the JW FLV Media Player yet then you must have been offline for the last year or two. It is is without doubt the most widely used Flash Video player on the net and best of all it's open source and free to use for non commercial projects. A Creative Commons License starts at a mere 20 Euros.

Highlights of the most recent update include:
1. MP4 (H.264) mimetype detection in playlists.
2. Automatic MP4 / FLV selection based upon plugin version with the "fallback" flashvar.
3. Better scaling and positioning of the "recommendations" screen.
4. Lots of bugfixes, notably with the often-appearing "activity" icon and with the javascript API.

The JW FLV Media Player is built with Adobe's Flash is an easy and flexible way to add video and audio to your website. It supports playback of any format the Adobe Flash Player can handle (FLV, but also MP3, H264, SWF, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports RTMP and HTTP (Lighttpd) streaming, RSS, XSPF and ASX playlists, a wide range of flashvars (variables), an extensive javascript API and accessibility features.

is it reasonable to ask for support on a product that is either free or costs 20 Euros?

20 euros or 20,000 euros the principle is the same if it's not working and you can't get help.
It's not the 20 euros at stake hre, it's reputation.
Tell you what you pay me 20 euros and I'll send you a stamp you can't use and when you complain to me - well - it was only 20 euros.

What I'd do is test your product - after all it's free - and part with my money once I know it works for me.
BTW I've used the player many times, but paid and free versions, and it worked great for me. If you expect someone to follow up with you btw then I recommend you don't post anonymously...

I paid the 20 euros..
