Goals of the Open Source Media Framework Project

• Facilitate the development and sharing of best practices for video player development based on the Adobe® Flash® Platform through community interaction
  
  
• Provide production-ready code, high QoS features, and support for the latest Flash features to speed development and reduce the total cost of ownership
  
  
• Encourage adoption of open standards to help facilitate the aggregation of video audiences and streamline the media buying process for rich media and in-stream advertising
  
  
• Support the Internet advertising ecosystem, including agencies, interactive developers and advertising technologies for a comprehensive publishing solution
  
  
• Provide Quality of Service features that will help developers:
• Reduce costs of QoS development/maintenance on an evolving platform
• Deliver the highest quality experience for the given bandwidth
• Detect & recover from error conditions
• Improve user experience by monitoring & responding to QoS metrics
• Integrate seamlessly with one or many CDNs


• Support third-party plug-ins that will allow developers to:
• Integrate with ad and reporting services
• Support industry-leading services out of the box
• Assemble, rather than code, new player functionality
• Enable custom integration by allowing developers to write their own plug-ins
