Использую в связке с корпоративным Wowza media server. Вставлять VOD на сайт – одно удовольствие, вставлять лайф-стримы тоже! Теперь посетители не смотрят рекламу, как с Youtube и другими видеосервисами. Есть кучу, буквально КУЧА настроек плеера. Сделано с умом! Разработчикам респект и развития проекта. Немного позже обязательно соберемся с покупкой плеера.
