Open Source Media Framework Marketplace

If you’re doing anything with video you’ve probably heard of the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF). It’s one of the cooler projects at Adobe and provides a component that can be customized and extended for whatever you want from video delivery.

OSMF includes a robust plug-in architecture that lets developers extend it and add features. The OSMF team has put together a marketplace for tutorials, white papers, and plug-ins for OSMF. It looks like it’s a great resource for all things OSMF and a bunch of the Flash media rockstars have already contributed content. The guys at Realeyes Media have put up an example plugin that lets you track analytics when using OSMF. Almer/Blank has a reference card that covers the important parts of OSMF. And Jodie O’Rourke has a getting started article for an introductory look at OSMF.

I think it’s a cool way to expose a bunch of developer-related content. If you’re knowledgeable about OSMF, definitely think about contributing some content. And if you’re just wanting to show video, take a look at some of the plug-ins and documents that make it easy. And everyone should check out the StageVideo Plugin for using StageVideo with OSMF.

Really Slick Chess App in Flex/AIR

Greg Wilson has been busy working on a pet project with some friends that shows off nearly the full range of the Flash Platform. I got to see some early prototypes and screenshots so it’s really cool to see it in action. They spent a lot of time on the user interface and it’s an incredibly polished application. It’s also making use of the new AIR marketplace try/buy features so if you’re interested in monetizing your AIR applications you can download this to get a sense of how it works.

You may have to wait a little while currently to start a game, but once you do, it’s worth it. The graphics for the app are awesome. The UI is a really important part but as I said, they are making full use of the Flash Platform stack including using ColdFusion and LCDS. Greg’s next blog post is going to cover that part of it.

The only downside is that Greg is making the rest of us look like slackers. Adobe is supposed to be shut down this week but he’s cranking out software releases.

We launched a new version of the AIR Marketplace today with a number of enhancements that should make it easier for you to find AIR applications as well as make the process for submitting them smoother than it was.

There are a bunch of new applications being added and we’re still offering a free developer certificate so that you can sign the AIR apps you create. Congrats to the AIR Marketplace team on the release.
