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

ok sorry guys.

It is restricted because it has mostly US Sports Content on it. For now see this screenshot.

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.

Would a screen recorded video going through all the options help?

Can any Europeon Coders have a look?

Hey there..flasher3015 here, live from Europe :D

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+

Thanks for the reply Flasher. You do great stuff.

Listen I hear you and believe it could take that amount.

Managed to trace the developer…..he used to work with Disney in the US and developed that as a last project before moving to england to work on another project.

There was a quote on another website to replicate this application inviting bids. He had £1500 max and the guy got 8 replies before he cancelled it.

Because it was cancelled I couldn’t see any of the people who agreed to do it.

You talking £5k?

What would it be without Live Streaming…...just a Progressive Player?

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 :D but i think that i 5K+ is a fair price. I don’t know about others but that’s how i would do it :)

Your right…..I prefer Progressive too.

You’d be able to replicate this with most of the funcionality and design with ability to skin?

One more thing I’d like is ability to attach adverts nodes to the xml video lists so that whenever an advert is present…...it would show before that particular video and hide the video controls.

Like the Rich Media Project Video Player.

I know it would be a lot of work and 5k is reasonable.

Deff got me thinking along this lines because this player with advert included would be the Holy Grail Video Application I been looking for.
