UNIVERSAL puffered MEDIAPLAYER (progressive download - possibly jscript)

NEED: to provide access to all sorts of rich media. without being converted; must play nonlocal files: mp3, mpg, wmv, wma, and also display swf, jpg & gif.. design: is unessential; what counts is small size, well functioning buffering & reliability. flashplayer usually require mp3 or mpg firrst being imported by mx & exported as swf. since this does not make sense in terms of "any media located anywhere in the world", this is not the good solution for us. imagine: YOU have a not copyright protected video on YOUR homepage ..and I just want to put a link to this video on MY homepage (by NOT calling up YOUR hole website, but just retrieve/display it in our own "media-player", which is a steady (fix) embedded element of our webplatform (an html frame). so: the "mediaplayer" (in fact: progressive downloader) which we seek, works with **nonlocal media** stored anywhere in the world & is able of buffering. & directly works with the codec (decoders) that are (allready) installed on the visitors computer. if missing codec, it should display a message (possibly w. download instruction/link) our current (but now obsolete) solution can still be seen at _[login to view URL] ..but ONLY: if you do NOT have the latest security updates from microsoft installed; ..using windows & ms _internet explorer_. click at "business-connector" and then at "business-guru" (some loading time, since java applet..). next to this applet on the right hand is a frame called: [login to view URL], which could play/display quite everything. this [login to view URL] frame containes: 1 a flashplayer, 2 commands for the windows mediaplayer which directly used the built in codecs for mp3, mpg, wma, wmv etc., and 3 a html displaying pictures or even powerpoint.. most important: plugin is not desired (except flash & jvm 1.4.1 which we use anyway). in other words: all media should play within one frame link to our first prototype: <[login to view URL]> ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. 3) buyer gets all rights using and selling the product/technology but does not claim any exclusivity on the code. ## Platform the "player" should be: crossplatform/crossbrowser pc, linux, mac, ie, mozilla, opera (netscape ..negociable)
