Benefits
Player Designer: Quickly publish a video player
- Anyone can create a player. With our easy-to-use interface, picking a layout, style, and subscribing to a media feed is easy and quick.
- Brand your channel. Video producers and editors can create a branded experience by adding a logo and matching their corporate color scheme.
- Simple publishing. Because the player is hosted by thePlatform, you can easily add it to your site or provide a link to affiliate sites.
Player Development Kit: Create your own broadband channel
- Design a unique video player. Predefined Adobe Flash controls help Flash developers quickly create a unique broadband channel. Advanced Flash users can even create their own player controls
- Start with our styles and templates. Build on designs that come with the development kit, and tailor them for your site or customize them for affiliate sites.
- Add player expertise with a partner. Design and development shops, including Ascertane and Cypress Consulting, can quickly produce a unique playback experience.
Feeds Service: Support your high-end broadband channel
- Quickly fulfill catalog and media requests. The service's highly scalable data cache is designed specifically for high-volume broadband channels to access their dynamic media catalogs. Improve your existing player's experience by adopting the Feeds Service, or use the Feeds Service with a player you've created with the Player Designer and Player Development Kit.
- Build your own playback experience. Through a powerful yet simple API, your custom player can request feeds using dozens of different queries via SOAP, RSS, XML, or JSON for playback on mobile devices, PCs, and set-top boxes.
- Expand your market with partner tools. Use affiliate player tools to create and control branded players for various properties. UIEvolution can create a compelling, easy-to-use mobile video playback interface.
Community Toolkit: Grow your audience by engaging viewers with your video and each other
- Ratings let users tell others how much they like a certain video based on a rating system of thumbs-up/thumbs-down, one to five stars, or just about any rating scale you choose.
- Tags allow users to add keywords or phrases to your media, supporting keyword-driven search and classification of content based on the input of your community.
- Comments keep users on your site longer while they share opinions, and you discover what your audience likes about your media.
- Favorites give your audience a way to create their own list of preferred videos.
- User profiles deliver a streamlined experience for frequent users and help account managers control the use of the community tools.
- Suggestions allow users to see Top Rated and Most Popular content based on users' collective ratings and the most views.
- Community management helps you manage what users are allowed to do and the data they create. Make your content accessible to both logged-in and anonymous users, control each feature independently, and control which type of user can access each feature.
