Flash/FLV Media Player with .NET API

Question

I am looking for a media player which I can control via an ASP.NET/Javascript API and also set playlists dynamically (ie from a datasource).

Answer 1

You can try to integrate with JW FLV Player:

http://www.longtailvideo.com/

It has the features you require:

• It supports xml playlists
• It can be controlled with javascript

It's not designed to integrate specifically with .NET, but I doubt there are any flv flash players that are.

I've used it with java and php.

Answer 2

I don't think you'll find one that is specifically .net orientated. However, quite a lot will use XML for playlists. So, your best bet would be to generate an XML file 'on-the-fly' from your Datasource and pass it the FLV Player via an .ashx handler.

Answer 3

There is one commercial player that implemented as web control and can be simple dragged from toolbox - http://aspnetflashvideo.com/. To set FLV file to playback you simple set MovieURL property to correct location and thats all...
