+This is the README for MetaDataPlayer, an opensource web player with metadata support.
+
+Features
+========
+
+    o Reads json-converted cinelab metadata
+    o Reads from Youtube, Dailymotion and Flash backends
+    o Loads the data as JSON as well as JSONP
+    
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+- jQuery 1.4
+- jQuery UI 1.4
+- the java jre (for building the sources)
+
+Building the library
+====================
+
+The library files are scattered in many files. An ant build script has been made to make the developer and
+minified versions of the player. It is located in sbin/build/client.xml.
+To build the library, simply run sbin/build/compil.bat if you are running windows, or sbin/build/compil.sh
+if you're running Unix.
+
+Running the examples
+====================
+
+You'll have to have a web server configured to serve the metadataplayer directory, because
+of the flash cross-domain policy.
+
+The code
+========
+
+The code is scattered among several files, which are concatenated and minified during the
+build process. The html templates in the templates/ directory are also "jsified" during
+this process, to be used by the js code.
