Flowplayer

Flowplayer is an Open Source (GPL 3) video player for the Web. Use it to embed video streams into your web pages. Built for site owners, developers, hobbyists, businesses and serious programmers. Flash technology ensures that 98% of all Internet users can see your videos. Highly skinnable and extendable. No other software makes it easier.

Every aspect of Flowplayer is a plugin. Even the controlbar is a plugin that can be removed or replaced. JavaScript plugins work outside the player area. Think of controlbars and playlists that can be constructed and styled with standard HTML and CSS skills. Flash plugins such as the controlbar, captions or advertising work inside the player. In fact, every Flash component can be used as a Flowplayer plugin. For plugin developers there is a polished API available for both JavaScript and ActionScript 3.

Advanced streaming technologies such as bandwidth detection, clustering and secure streaming make Flowplayer the best player for streaming today. Supported servers and technologies include: HTTP streaming; pseudostreaming with Apache, ASP/.NET, lighttpd and ngingx; RTMP streaming with Adobe Flash Media Server, Wowza and Red5. More are planned for the future. Proven Content Delivery Network (CDN) networks include Akamai, Amazon, Simple CDN, Influxis and MediaMelon, and the list is growing.
