Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) is an open software framework for building robust, feature-rich video players and applications based on the Adobe® Flash® Platform.
Anyone have any experience working with it?
Designing with Progressive Enhancement
Designing with Progressive Enhancement is a practical guide that both explains the principles and benefits of progressive enhancement, and explores detailed examples to teach you how, where, and when to implement specific coding and scripting approaches that embody broadly accessible development practices.
I just pre-ordered the book. You should too if you do anything in design or user experience.

Hi,
We’ve been working a lot with Adobe OSMF since it’s inception (back when the changes between 0.x releases were so different you had to redo lot’s of work)..
OSMF is a great initiative and well executed project, for two main reasons:
1. It solves the headaches of working with Flash video (which we had to solve ourselves for a long time before), provides a reliable and stable framework that helps you adapt quickly to the rapid media additions being made to the Flash platform.
2. It tries (slowly we hope it will actually be) to be a standard for all Flash based media players out there. This means that as a 3rd party vendor to media solutions like ad networks or any kind of interactive solutions with video – you will be able to write a plugin once and all flash based media players out there will be able to load it.
#2 is merely a wish at the moment as OSMF is still fairly new to the market, and not many have been quick to adopt it (which means re-writing your media player).
You can take a look at the KDP (Kaltura Dynamic Player) project, it’s open source under AGPL – http://www.kaltura.org/kdp-3x-adobe-osmf-based-kaltura-dynamic-media-player
progressive enhancement sure does seem interesting.
