I understand that both JW player and Flow player are OS, but they both have expensive licensing terms.
The only fully free player that I'm aware of, MPW_Player. Seems dead.
Are there any free players that are not dead? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a license?
This NetTuts+ tutorial refers to OS FLV and FLV Flash fullscreen open source players besides the ones discussed here. It also describes the process with source code.
There is also a VLC reference on this Wiki.
FPlayer is open source.
From the site:
FPlayer :: Open Source AS3 FLV Player Project
FPlayer is an object oriented, open source FLV Player Project, coded using Adobe Actionscript 3.
You can use FPlayer to show videos on your web projects, develop it and change its skin easily.
With XML playlist option you can arrange it for showing multiple videos.
FPlayer doesn’t use any components unlike the other FLV players and it’s only 8kb.
FPlayer basicly includes a volume control button, a video scrubber, and full screen option.
Info on the upcoming version 3 is here: http://code.google.com/p/fplayer/
