Pros
I like its ease of use and how easy it is to get the code to place it on my show site. The analytics also help me track my promotion efforts with ease.
Integration with our website was seamless and with low impact, the player works well in 99% of customers and we love how customizable it is.
The support team is brilliant. The player is top-notch and I have not had any issues with streaming worldwide.
Cons
Now to get the fix we have to go to their BETA, which no doubt will force us to report more bugs. Why am I paying them, shouldn't they be paying me for debugging.
Severe' bugs are when documented features simply don't work.
Expensive to pay it every month. No other problems so far.

Very Powerful Player

Reviewed 3 years ago

Half of our content is for videos to be displayed to viewers, so FlowPlayer is a major part in this.

Pros

It works on all browsers & mobiles, auto detects HLS when using their hosted platform & has a very nice design + customisation options.

Cons

The pricing for basic needs (just the player) is not worth the money comparing to the other players available. If we want to display ads before our videos, we have to upgrade to their medium tier plan which is not worth the money if you only use the player for external videos.

Best option for self-hosted SaaS developers! but has severe bugs too

Reviewed 3 years ago

We tried some open source solutions, but the only one that claimed to have the features we needed was simply far too disjointed, disorganized and involved way too much trial and error to even get a full-bodied test up. So we reluctantly dived into Flowplayer. It was concerning because they seem to be going cloud-hosted as well. We can only hope they see the wisdom in leaving self-hosted as an option always. Flowplayer has really been nice to work with and I think their pricing model is fair. For self-hosted needs, FLOWPLAYER IS THE ONLY OPTION right now - if you really need robust full feature. Save your team the time, and just go Flowplayer. Hopefully they have the severe bugs fixed soon without introducing a bunch more, and then its the PERFECT PLAYER.

Pros

HLS + Dash + MP4 with browser detection, priority sources was key! Multi-quality sources key! Subtitles + Thumbnail tracks very good! Easy to setup, mostly clean and comprehensive API - must have! Documentation is better than most - some room for improvement, along with some better standardization of API features especially in the UI area. Support that actually responds? well thats nice. Could be faster response, but a few days response time is better than none at all!

Cons

It has severe bugs we were surprised to be the first to notice and report. The company didn't take our reports seriously until we gave them examples where they could see it themselves. 'Severe' bugs are when documented features simply don't work. In this case, it was dynamically loaded playlists, with mixed sets of videos containing mixed sets of subtitles and thumbnail tracks. Flowplayer switched...

Pros

I discovered FlowPlayer a few months ago. I was struggling with the general management, editing, and processing of my videos. Its multiple features make FlowPlayer an indispensable tool for audiovisual professionals.

Cons

Make additional moves to take advantage of the most advanced features.
