Topic: Final workings

The streaming video FS demo player is tweaked and the vids should stream at fairly high resolution even to people with slower connections.
Thanks to everyone who has help me testing adjustments in the stream.
Now the challenge is to get the films made and uploaded.

The filesize of the player itself is up to 135 kilobytes now ... streaming 16 megabyte videos.

Re: Final workings

Oh yea , the space video wasnt using the new sample rate ... good eye ... I will make sure to remove that one with a replacement.
When we get all 5 videos perfected, I will post this little player on many BB's and forums , and public posts to get the word out about FS.
The only thing this mod lacks ... like any other mod ... is exposure.  More exposure = more people with the mod.
The player filesize is a whopping 160 kilobytes large, so emailing it out is no issue. We will need other volunteers to pass copies around themselves in their own circles ... we each have different and unique social circles, so getting something out requires helpers. I got at least 5 of my clan mates joining me for a FS unit.
I would rather include 1.2 materials, but should release the player with added slots for playing future videos... and add the 1.2 clips to the server when they are done.
If anyone has really good footage in high resolution I will gladly edit some material into future clips if its really good.

Re: Final workings

A "Back" or "Replay" button would be a nice feature...

Re: Final workings

I added two more clips to fill out the two empty slots.
I tried a new tweak on the last video (5) and it added some filesize... made the video bigger than #1 and #3 , If video 5 lags a little I will need to turn back the settings a hair.
If 5 runs ok then I will sample at that rate from now on.
After all this, we need to finalize a set of videos, vote on the candidates, or have a competition.
my videos are really for sample purposes, im not hollywood , but i bet holly would .
