Both of my video tutorials on customizing STrobe Media Playback are now available over at ActiveTuts+. If you are interested in doing simple skinning of SMP or want to recompile a customized version; I’ve got you covered!
UPDATE: Also be sure to check out Tom Green‘s overview over at WebdesignTuts+!
Getting Started with Strobe Media Playback: Basic Configuration
Strobe Media Playback is the open source video playback module that provides not only a customizable video playback solution for developers, but also serves as a great entry point for developing applications with the Open Source Media Framework. In this tutorial, we will see an example of how to configure SMB by using the built-in skinning configuration mechanisms and creating our custom skin with Adobe Fireworks.
Getting Started with Strobe Media Playback: Full Customization
Strobe Media Playback is the open source video playback module that provides not only a customizable video playback solution for developers, but also serves as a great entry point for developing applications with the Open Source Media Framework. In this tutorial, we will see an example of how to set up the source and compile our own customized version of SMB by editing the built-in assets through Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Flash Builder.
Hi Joseph,
Thanks for this video you have provided here…
I’m trying to assign a different rtmp url as source to the strobe media player through the source code.
I am not able to get it right.
Even if I change it ,it takes no effect.
The reason I am doing this is because I dont want to show the rtmp url to the user.
Please guide me if you can Joseph.
Thank you so much!
Strobe is meant to be an all-purpose playback. You may want to try an alternative OSMF based player like this one featured over on Adobe DevNet: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/osmf-media-player.html
Thank you Joseph.That helps.
But,Since we have already used strobe media playback since it’s readymade, is there anyway to hardcode the video source url inside the source code of Strobe Media Player?
Thanks
Just looking through the source and I’m not seeing anything obvious. Must be someplace to override it in there though. Not sure where that may be, myself. Like I mentioned- not really meant for that.
In Strobe media playback we have a class “playerconficguration.as”
You will find this class inside org.osmf.player.configuration package.
In this class you will see private var scr:String=” “; field.
Do one thing assign your URL to scr variable.
Then build and clean the strobe media playback and then run it
u will now c ur video running in strobe media playback
Hope it will help
Thanks for the great tutorials, helped alot and were exactly what I needed.

How can i add a text given by parameter under the big “play” icon inside the screen? it will be bery helpfull if someone can tell me that =)
Great tutorial! Just a question though: When I compile, the player only shows up as a black block – no chrome, nothing. I’m sure I missed something, but I just can’t figure out what. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hmm… any compiler errors? Not sure.
Nope. Will try again from scratch, sure it’s just one of those “Oh, how did I miss THAT!” issues. Thanks!
