What it does
Wowza Flowplayer provides an HTML5 video player and related hosting, live, analytics and monetisation products.
Flowplayer Native can be self-hosted as a standalone player or used within the wider hosting and streaming platform. Decide whether you need a playback component for an existing system or a managed service that also processes, stores and delivers the video.
The player has a plugin architecture, configuration APIs and custom interface options. Advertising tools include client-side and server-side ad insertion, ad scheduling and analytics, so an ad-supported project should compare those requirements alongside the player licence. The official manuals, plugin sandbox and stream tester help scope an integration before implementation.
Strengths
- Player and developer documentation sit alongside integration examples.
