OSMF's architecture reduces the time spent on creating and deploying a multimedia player, allowing developer and owners to focus on the overall quality and user experience.
The framework supports developing and deploying players for desktop, mobile, and TV platforms.
Plug-ins for advertising, reporting and content delivery along with standard player features such as playback controls, video navigation, buffering, and Dynamic Streaming make this a top notch developer tool.
