Looking for custom FLV player developer.
 

I'm looking for someone who can create a custom FLV player.

Pretty much has all the flv player features but I want it to check for a certain config xml variable that I pass along to it and if it exists it checks the start and end run times and only plays the video between those times.

For example, say I put a video thats 20 minutes long on my site, and set the start time at 3 minutes and end time at 7 minutes, when a user hits the page for that video, the player will check the config xml and see that its limited to that 4 minutes, so when they click play the video starts 3 minutes in and ends 7 minutes in and won't allow before the 3 minutes or after the 7 minutes unless the user is registered.

Now before anyone starts bitching cause I'm gonna be featuring full length videos on my site, this is for my own pay site... and the 20+ minute videos I put up will be licensed by myself and the users won't get access unless they are paying, they just get the small preview.

lemme know if you find anybody good with Flash players

thanks

That's a pretty interesting idea. Create bumper ads for the video explaining what's up and what they need to do.

Awesome! Thanks for the spam, and when you decide to actually read what I posted and understand what I want, try again. Idiot. :321GFY

Alright, if I find anyone I'll be sure to let ya know. :thumbsup

Yeah, the whole idea I have is to have a regular tube site, where I put up sponsor supplied videos just like any other regular tube site, but I will have a premium section, no not a white label of another site, but where my users can upgrade their memberships for a monthly fee and get access to content licensed to me to sell access too.

Best to buy a flash player with lots of options, and just skin it

who gave you the rights to do whatever you want to do with other people's content?

Whoever your developer is, I suggest that you create the swf player 'empty' (no AS), keep your actionscript file(s) on a separated directory (protected by htaccess), keep your xml files on a separated directory (also protected by htaccess), and of course, the flv's or mp4's also on their own folder with protection, but also with server protection for that specific extesion with htaccess (.flv .mp4)

That way, if the smart ones get around downloading and de-compiling your SWF, they will only see a reference to the external .AS (actionscript) files (which are not accesible) which in turn pull the content from XML files (protected) to finally get to the FLV/MP4 files (also protected).

You can never have too many lvls of protection ;)

they have some flash players

Yeah, I was thinking that, but I also would rather have something exclusive to my own uses instead of a bloated player.

:eek7 I thought I asked for a FLV player developer, I don't remember asking for feedback on how to protect my content.. Does anyone on this board actually read? :disgust

Flashden has some nice stuff but nothing that does what I want.
