Projekktor WebTV goes 1.08.10.03
The goals of the last development circle: Make the player easier to setup and maintain, provide a true, seamless multi playlist function in order to finally allow cross-channel networking and keep all this as simple as possible.
So, the result is a functional final containing the following changes:
The Flash Video Player:
- real multi playlist catalog browsing capability
- cross domain network building
- improved deeplinking capabilities
- external language pack support
- all configuration stuff moved from “config.xml” into “reel.xml”
- customizable startup logo and background colors
- completely cleaned up configuration parameter set (phew)
- some more performance enhancements
- some minor graphical bugs fixed
- easier installation: no additional flashvars necessarily required.
Flash Remoting:
The whole “static vs. dynamic” mess has been completely dumped since it was not very straight forward.
Instead there is now a stand alone PHP class available which implements all the necessary JSON data -handling and -providing. If you are a coder, you may want to use it in your own CMS projects.
If you just want to benefit from the data optimizations it provides, simply drop the file into the same public directory as your projekktor.swf and the reel.xml are. In your player´s embed object add the CURL flashvar and provide the full URL to pserver.php file: Instant JSON remoting => groovy => speedy.
Please note that this is only recommended for channels larger than approx. 50 video items.
Coming Up:
- A simple channel- and network- administration script.
- Rewrite of the docs
