When PHPmotion released V3.5 of their popular "YouTube Clone" softare, they introduced a few changes. The biggest and most obvious change in the new release was a new "in-house designed" player. In the past, PHPmotion came packaged with the very popular and fully featured JW FLV player from LongTailVideo.com.
JW Player is a very nice player and while it's served PHPmotion well for a long time, the devs felt it was time to implement a new in-house player so that they could have more control over the features/design and to make support easier. The new player comes with a playlist feature and customizable colors for the control bar. While the player isn't as fully featured as the JW Player, the PHPmotion devs assure me that new features will be added as time goes on, so keep an eye out for them!
The new player, while promising, is still very new and missing some importnat features. Many of the "must have" features of the JW player like Pseudo-Streaming, D-Related, and skins. Also some people may just plain not like the new player, and that's understandable since JW is a more mature and well established player.
Don't fret however, my fellow PHPmotioners, I have an easy solution for you! PHPmotionWiz.com is proud to introduce the JW Player Integration Mod for PHPmotion V3.5! Now you can reintegrate the old player (JW FLV Player) with PHPmotion V3.5 by uploading just a few files!
