New FLAC media file support (from local or internet)

    What is FLAC?  FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files are high-fidelity, open-source audio files that offer lossless compression, reducing file sizes to about 50-60% of the original uncompressed source without losing any audio data. Ideal for audiophiles and archival, they support CD-quality and hi-res audio, featuring wide compatibility on modern media device players.

 

      The Multimedia Player will allow local files to be played & viewed from your local machine. It is also designed to allow media data streams to be played and viewed from any valid URL across the internet. The MultiMedia Player supports the following formats: .MOV, .MP3, .MP4, .AVI, .WTV, .MID, .MKA, .MKV, .MV4, .WAV, .WMV & now FLAC, just to mention the main types. More music and video formats are also supported as well.

 

Use various media sources from your PC or across the internet!

 

 

    Your MultiMedia play list is also always at your finger tips using the STD Frameworks ability to add a User Object(s) to the main Menu Toolbar on an Main or MDI Frame.

 

 

   Unlock the "Power" in PowerBuilder applications by using the STD Integrated framework! The MultiMedia Player is just one example of building a PB application from this powerful all free & open source Framework! Click here to download the Multi-Media Player example application!
