Goals of the Open Source Media Framework Project
- Facilitate the development and sharing of best practices for video player development based on the Adobe® Flash® Platform through community interaction
- Provide production-ready code, high QoS features, and support for the latest Flash features to speed development and reduce the total cost of ownership
- Encourage adoption of open standards to help facilitate the aggregation of video audiences and streamline the media buying process for rich media and in-stream advertising
- Support the Internet advertising ecosystem, including agencies, interactive developers and advertising technologies for a comprehensive publishing solution
- Provide Quality of Service features that will help developers:
- Reduce costs of QoS development/maintenance on an evolving platform
- Deliver the highest quality experience for the given bandwidth
- Detect & recover from error conditions
- Improve user experience by monitoring & responding to QoS metrics
- Integrate seamlessly with one or many CDNs
- Support third-party plug-ins that will allow developers to:
- Integrate with ad and reporting services
- Support industry-leading services out of the box
- Assemble, rather than code, new player functionality
- Enable custom integration by allowing developers to write their own plug-ins
