ESPN360.COM PLAYER

I am just putting the feelers out for this.

Will need it later on in the year but I just come accross it on their website and it has everything I’d need in a player….plus the layout and design are top notch.

https://europe.espn360.com/sport/NHL.aspx click – Launch Player

Highlights include:

Channels/Shows Tabbed Menu These Channels/Shows probably call different xml files for each category and load them in the Video List to the right.

Videos Tab List The Videos are divided (into 9 in this case) and a scrolling number menu appears at the bottom.

Video Player Ability to Skin, Info on Video playing to the right of the player.

Other Highlights:

RSS Feed, Search, Scrolling News Bar on bottom, Send to Friend.

The Help popups are easy to do I am sure.

How much would this cost to design….making as much of the design skinnable through either XML or the FLA file

i am unable to see the player in ameica it says this service is not available in your area

same here

The first one had a sliding list for their latest videos.

This one shows the numbered menu at the bottom of a list: http://www.ferbane.tv/ESPN360_2.jpg

Thats a pity you can’t see it and how it works.

Hey there..flasher3015 here, live from Europe

This is a real complex web tv.. I took some time browsing trough it, and the complexity of this is just..stunning It’s hard to put a price tag on it, but i can say that this kind of app can reach 5K+

Are you talking about “live” streaming as in LIVE ? Or just Streaming? There are up and down in both progressive and streaming videos. When you build a web tv like that, depending on the videos and the users you should choose between progressive and streaming. The ESPN player is using progressive download(you can see this because you can’t go to any part of the video, that is not loaded; and also the videos are stored in your cache). I personally prefer progressive download, as it is better for smaller videos(in length), and it’s easier to handle. If you want LIVE , then you need to stream.

About the price .. no .. i was talking about $5K. It’s really a long-shot to make an estimate for an app like this in 10min but i think that i 5K+ is a fair price. I don’t know about others but that’s how i would do it
