i have been asked about creating a desktop based media player - that is not only cross platform (mac/pc/iphone etc...) - but also can search and return results when the user conducts a search for something.
obviously it would need to be a custom skin - does anyone have anything in their little bag o' tricks?
the videos/mp3's would be hosted on a server and all the streams/vids/choons would be on this server - so it wouldn't be a custom youtube player.
i was wondering if there is a way of making it work via rss or something similar to that - but all of the ways that i know give the security warning message - ie; flash is trying to connect to something online, sorry it can't!then i thought maybe a custom version of the quicktime app would do the job but the resources i have found are a little sketchy.
what would you suggest is the way to get this baby rolling? has anyone done anything like this before? done a search of the usual suspects but to no real end.
is there anything that anyone knows of that would do this?
grateful for any pointers or tuts etc...
here's hoping!
