Hi guys,
I just wanted to send some notes from today's testing to the internal team.
Because of items 2 and 8 below, I have not been able to integrate the player into a Flex or Views unit.
- The player works well in Chrome, FF, Safari and IE.
- The JavaScript communication is working very well. The paradigm is pretty different from what we we're used to with JWPlayer but it actually makes a bit more sense to me.
- Clickthrough behavior is missing from what I can see. There should be a clickthrough overlay with call-to-action that is customizable through VAST or JS.
- Seeking should be disabled.
- Pause button should be disabled.
- The player is fat (355KB) and a little processor intensive. We should try to get the file size down and remove any debugging code that is not necessary for production.
- Video tracking events can be fired reliably via the JS client(socialflex/views) so we can remove the apptrak calls from VAST.
- Currently the player requires a source movie when using a VAST xml. This means the VAST video plays as a pre-roll for the src video. The player should be able to operate with only VAST input.
Thanks,
