Pheew! After a long period of development and testing we have finally released the new Flowplayer site and a new player version.

This is the long list of new features in Flowplayer 2.0:

• * New default skin 'air'. Old 'black' and 'white' skins were
  dropped because everyone will want to use this highly customizable new skin.
• * Sharing a video link via e-mail feature. Accessed from the menu.
• * New button to mute and unmute the sound volume.
• * Possibility to show/hide every button and widget in the control bar.
• * Now uses the "native full screen" by default, no need to specify useNativeFullScreen: true to enable it.
• * Shows the big play button overlay image by default, new config option 'usePlayOverlay' that can be used to disable it.
• * New button to mute and unmute the sound volume.
• * Added a new callback onFlowPlayerReady() to the JavaScript API.
• * Removed the loop button (unnecessary)
• * The initial volume level is now 50%
• * The popup menu automatically hides after 10 seconds if not closed by the user.
• * Added new "onPlaybackTime" callback to the JavaScript API. Reports the current time in the video timeline.
• * Setting autoPlay: true now always starts playing the main video in case the first clip is a splash/thumb or the play button overlay.
• * Embed view shows a direct link to the current video file. Added videoLink config option that can be used to override the default that is taken from the playList or the videoFile option.

And finally, the licensing has changed. It's still free (and always will be) for non-commercial use. What do I mean by non-commercial use? Basically, if you are running a blog or some other sort of site whose primary purpose is not to make money you are also free to use Flowplayer in that blog/site. For all other purposes you'll need to purchase a license. Check out the details of licensing here.

Commercial licenses are sold in our on-line store.
