Hi!
We are GRF Media, the company that owns the two leading newspapers and websites in Puerto Rico. We are developing our new video portal and currently looking for a team that can help us develop our video player using JW Player 5.8+ and Ad-ons to customize and extend its functionality.
Please note, we are looking for an individual or a team with vast experience customizing and extending JW Player. NO ROOKIES, PLEASE. Previous work examples will be required. The team or individual selected must be extremely capable of working with JW Player integration, JavaScript, Ad-ons, Flash, XML, JSON, VAST, HTML5 and mobile implementation of the player.
JW Player source code must be unalterable, all feature additions must be done via Ad-ons extensions, plugins and/or JavaScript code. This way allowing us to upgrade to newer versions of JW Player when released.
With that in mind, here are the features we're looking for our video player integration.
- Custom Skinning (XML/PNG skins)
- Dynamic/Multiple-bitrate Streaming
- RTMP/RTMPT Fallback
- HTML5 fallback/mobile support
- Advertisement (OVA/VAST2 - Pre-rolls/Overlays/companion ads)
- 24/7 Real Media Adserver integration (using OVA or other VAST2 plugin)
- HTML5/mobile Ads support
- Google Analytics Integration
- Ability to send player analytics data to a custom analytics back-end
- Social & Email Sharing
- Related videos thumbnails
- Current video info/meta on pause (could also be via a info icon)
- In-player search (ie: calls to our search API and show results)
- Amazon Cloudfront secure Streaming
We know that most of these features are already available in JW Player and others are available via ad-ons, but that's why we're looking for a team (or individual) that knows JW Player very well and that can accomplish our needs using all available resources and extending them.
Candidates must provide description on the experience/knowledge of working and extending JW Player, in addition to samples that they have worked before.
Once the candidates are reviewed, we'll communicate more in detail of our needs directly.
Thanks!
