A bunch of changes to make the code use popcorn. Bumped the version of jwplayer we were using.

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.
