Im working on a player implementation where the inititializtion parameters are being built server side by an asp.net application.
I would like to pass some custom application values to the player when it is initialized so that other client side UI elements can have access to information about the video that currently is playing.
I'm passing video to the player via an rss media feed, but it seems to disregard a lot of the data (e.g. Cost, rating, views).
I've tried passing some information via the jwplayer namespace within the media rss but that is also ignored.
Is there any data format or flash method of getting custom information to the player? I can't use Ajax calls outside of flash due to cross domain scripting restrictions.
Thanks for any input.
