In the next in my series of Media websites using the crappy Maven player, comes the CBC’s new episodic video player. *sigh* How are these players everywhere all-of-a-sudden? They must be significantly cheaper than their competitors (Brightcove and The Feedroom) or something, because I can’t see any other reason they would go with this as a platform. It has all the front-end functionality of something whipped up by an average Flash designer (no offense to the real Flash developers out there). I guess just having something that will play video is all they are looking for

I really really wish we didn’t use Maven
Feedroom just launched their new video product. Someone told me it was pretty good. I think Brightcove must be in the lead at the moment though, with The Platform in 2nd.
