[IxDA Discuss] Comments for our new video player

[Matthew Loff]

The other contributors' critiques hit on great points... So rather than
reiterate, I thought I'd share this:

I randomly came across this last night.  Of all the flash video players I've
seen, this has one of the most responsive UIs (example: dragging the time
slider immediately provides "Loading ... %" feedback).

Interesting (albeit off-topic) side-note: even though full-screen video
support seems to be built into the Flash plug-in, the URL above is one of
the -only- flash video players I've come across that actually does
full-screen video under Linux.  Even Youtube doesn't so it.  Strange!?

Regards,
