OSMF (Open Source Media Framework) Support

Akamai Advanced Streaming Plug-in For OSMF 1.0

What It Is?

Designed to greatly reduce player developer effort, the Akamai Advanced Streaming Plug-in for OSMF 1.0 and the Akamai OSMF Media library combines a single plug-in to load & play any Flash Platform supported media type over the Akamai network with a custom OSMF media factory to avoid plug-in conflict.

Why Is It Needed?

Prior to the Akamai Advanced Streaming Plug-in for OSMF 1.0 and the Akamai OSMF Media Library, player developers would need to load at least 3 plug-ins to be able to play multiple types of Flash media across the Akamai network (OSMF SMIL Plug-in, Akamai Basic Streaming Plug-in, Akamai HDN Plug-in) and then would need to create a custom OSMF Media Factory to allow these plug-ins to function together.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Single Plug-in that supports on-demand and live streaming across the Akamai network with single & multi-bitrate FMS, HD Network for Flash, and progressive download delivery (on-demand only)
  • Native support for connection & stream level authentication for FMS and player verification for HD Network for Flash.
  • Automatically creates a custom OSMF MediaFactory class to ensure that the Akamai plug-in does not conflict with other plug-ins
  • Builds available for both Flash Player 10.0 and Flash Player 10.1.
Akamai Advanced Streaming Plug-in for Open Source Media Framework 1.0 is available to Akamai customers through the Akamai portal and sales representatives. Contact us by clicking here.
