ipla lite: Adobe AIR based client of video content from Polsat group
ipla lite application was recently released, this is an Adobe AIR/Flex based client of video content published by Polsat group. Polsat is one of the biggest TV stations in Poland. This release is really great news for Mac and Linux users because ipla’s original version released in 2008 was only available for Windows platforms. In this case Adobe AIR brings outstanding capabilities like: video, audio and cross-platform support. At the moment this release allows watching live streaming content, prerecorded TV shows in VOD mode, do video search and navigate through video categories. I know there are other plans to extend it with features known from full Windows version like social networking. Personally I would also like to see capabilities like local video caching (for offline mode watching), Twitter integration, video deeplinking (maybe something similar as we recently introduced for the content from Adobe MAX) – time will show
Here are some screens with application UI:







Is there any logical reason of making application in AIR crossplatform format, that run only on selected platforms?
Windows seem to be banned…
I guess they still want to promote their Windows based version that has full ipla functionality… But this is a good question to be asked to ipla team
