Chris Hock and Srinivas Manapragada from Macromedia (now Adobe) have developed an XML-based solution to creating content-driven media players for streaming video, entitled VideoSource. Using their code as a basis, this article walks you through the changes to this original code that adapts the application to be used for progressive downloading of video files. This XML-based dynamic video playlist also includes thumbnail previews. This archive contains full sample files for your reference.
