Adobe Media Player 1.0 Released with Adobe TV
Adobe launched the first public version of its Media Player (AMP) software, a desktop Flash video manager that organizes streaming and downloadable video content. AMP runs on Adobe's cross browser Adobe Integrate Runtime (AIR), and can display high res videos in 1080p, 720p or 480i.
"It's a merger of TV Guide and DVR for Internet video content," said
John Loiacono, senior vice president of Creative Solutions at Adobe, in
a press release.
AMP is built on Adobe AIR and allows the user to take video content
offline and also becomes the default player for FLVs so they can watch any FLV file inside AMP. The user can queue up and download favorite
Internet TV content, track and download new episodes automatically, and
manage a personal video library for viewing at their convenience.
Users can find and watch content in AMP, as well as subscribe to shows
and have updates pushed directly out to them via the player. Adobe is
launching its media player with an impressive list of content partners,
including CBS, MTV Networks (Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, etc.),
Universal Music Group, PBS, CondéNet (WIRED, Epicurious, etc.), and
Scripps Networks (Food Network, Fine Living, etc.). AMP pulls content from partners via RSS feeds, and users can add any video RSS feed into the player.
Adobe also announced the launch of Adobe TV.
Adobe TV is a web site and AMP channel dedicated to aggregating Adobe's
array of video blogs and tutorials. These videos had previously been
scattered all across the Adobe web universe, on numerous blogs and web
sites. Adobe TV brings them under a single umbrella and makes it easier
for Adobe fans and users to find those videos or subscribe to them in
the new media player software.
AMP is available immediately as a free download for Windows and Mac from the official site.
