MULTIMEDIA CAPABILITIES : all media you could need to be played by your website will… be played by your website. The Multi-categories Multimedia Gallery, the Projects Multimedia Gallery and the Multimedia Slide-show are capable to handle: Pictures (JPG, GIF , PNG), ActionScript 2 SWF files, ActionScript 3.0 SWF files, Videos, MP3 Audios and YouTube direct video stream (the YT video quality options are available too).
The YouTube Direct Stream implementation is fully reliable and legal – it is based on the YouTube s official player (supported by the YT technical team). You can enable or disable the YouTube player usage, depending on your needs, from the configuration XML file (an on-off switch is provided there) – when it is disabled, your website loading time at startup will be drastically reduced because no YouTube player will be loaded.
The MP3 audio content can be accompanied by the presentation of pictures (an album cover, for example), ActionScript 2 or ActionScript 3.0 Flash animations.
There are no restrictions regarding the way the media types are organized: you can create mixed galleries (various media types – videos, pictures, SWF files, audios, YouTube videos – included in the same gallery) or dedicated galleries (video galleries, audio galleries etc.). The ambient music player operations are integrated within the multimedia content being played and will automatically stop or start playing accordingly – in case of ActionScript SWF files you can override this automatic behavior, forcing (from XML ) the ambient music player to continue playing while that Flash animations is presented.
