Way cool (and free!) flash media player
While browsing some multi-campus church websites, I ran across a church that was using a basic flash media player. It was a pretty basic player – with play/pause, scrub, and volume controls. Nothing you can’t wring out of Dreamweaver in a few minutes. However, when I looked into it further I discovered three features that make this player way cool:
- It can play multiple types of media (flv, mp3, etc.)
- It supports playlist functionality with thumbnail images (playlists can even be of mixed types of media)
- It reads my podcast xml file “right out of the box” and populates a playlist of sermon mp3s
Props to Jeroen Wijering for such a great, open source, flash-based media player!
