Effective June 18, 2009, Adobe® Media Player software no longer contains third-party content in the default catalog. As part of Adobe's initiative to focus on and streamline business priorities, the decision was made to refocus efforts away from content aggregation.
Moving forward, the Adobe Media Player catalog will be provided by Adobe TV, which includes demos, training, and tips for Adobe products and services, as well as shows tailored for the Adobe community of designers, photographers, video professionals, and developers. Users can also still subscribe to content from publishers who offer compatible video RSS feeds, and play local video files that are in compatible formats.
We understand that this shift in strategy affects both viewers and content publishers and have put together the following information to explain the options moving forward.
For viewers:
We want to sincerely thank you for being a valued customer and early adopter of Adobe Media Player. If you still want to watch shows and movies from former Adobe Media Player partners, you can continue to access your favorite content by visiting the publishers' websites. Here are some examples:
For content partners:
Content owners who wish to continue to distribute programming via Adobe Media Player after June 18 can do so with RSS feeds and badge links. This way, your content will show up in the viewer's "My Shows" tab inside Media Player, and new episodes will be pushed automatically. For complete details on creating video RSS feeds and badges, visit the Media Player Developer Center. Another option is to create your own customized desktop media player, as the BBC and the DirecTV have recently done.
