FlowPlayer is a development tool that allows you to create web pages that stream Flash movies. The app can be embedded in any website in order to enhance the content with video clips, presentations or family movies.
This tool includes all the basic features of a media player and allows the user to maximize the video, to adjust the volume and to jump to a certain time of the video by clicking the progress bar. The streaming technology allows you to jump to any part of the video file without having to load the entire file.
The functionality of the player can be further enhanced by using plugins. They can add text overlays or create control toolbars inside the player interface. A playlist overlay can be created for a certain player by using simple HTML tags and JavaScript.
An interesting feature of the player is the ability to switch between video streams in order to provide the best possible content to users with different Internet connection quality. This feature is enabled by the Bandwidth detection plug-in that monitors the maximum bandwidth and changes the bitrate accordingly.
Due to the discrete design and easy to use interface, you can use the player on any color theme and website layout. You can also customize the player by editing its skin in order to fit your needs. You can change the color of the interface or add images to create a personalized version for your website.
The player can be used by both professional web developers and beginners for their projects. It does require some experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript but the documentation provided by the developer can point you in the right direction.
The FlowPlayer is a good solution for streaming FLV videos to your website and providing optimized quality content to your visitors.
