xmoov FLV player
We have taken alternative approaches to common issues in an effort to develop a usable but powerful basic platform that can be expanded upon, rather than a single "all mighty" video player overloaded with features.

The xmoov FLV player supports interactive flash pre/post-rolls as one method of adding additional functionality. We can custom tailor any further special features and functions if needed.
Configuring and customizing this player is as flexible as it has ever been using the classic approach of Flashvars in combination with easy to understand CSS style-sheets or dynamically generated XML text files. This approach lets your video player grow with you and gives you the ability to deploy one player with a different appearance and feature spectrum for public and closed member areas.
Skinning and styling via CSS or XML allows you to adapt your video player to your existing corporate identity and even use one player with different appearances for multiple websites. Skins are loaded externally and supports JPEG, GIF, PNG and SWF files.
Bandwidth detection is virtually invisible and constantly adapts to bandwidth fluctuations. We use an on-the-fly approach that uses the video being played rather than loading "dummy" that measures bandwidth only once. The initial bandwidth detection occurs the first time a video is played. The results are saved on the viewer’s computer and updated as major fluctuations occur.

Content Flow
Flexible Content Flow
You can choose to auto-play a video, show a thumbnail or pre-roll as an introduction before the feature presentation. When the video is finished playing, you can decide to show a post/pre-roll or auto rewind the content after a short delay. A set of functions are injected into pre/post-rolls allowing SWF files to control the player.
