Submit the code on github. This makes it easier for developers to contribute and enhance players. Also there are several existing javascript DASH implementataions which can be easily plugged in if needed.

We have a plan to use the Azure Media Player for the education. Almost students demand to play a video as 1.2x or 1.5x speed. So, we want that you apply the playback rate and trick play to Azure Media Player.

Support video playback in IE8 (IE7+IE6 would be a plus) like other players do.

Playback of audio only content from Azure Media Services

I would like to see AMP support ad standards such as VAST/VMAP/MAST/VPAID like the Player Framework (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn387403.aspx)

The controls, most importantly play / pause is hard to do on AMP on a phone. You have to click the small play/pause button in the right corner.

Other players (mostly native apps) have fancier input for play/pause for touch. When you touch anywhere on the video while it's playing it will pop-up a big button over the center of the player to pause it.

Other controls might want to be automatically made bigger when on certain widths to make them more touch friendly on smaller screens.

It is very helpful for the one who has external license server and custom authorization that AMP support custom license request in AMP such as adding custom headers and overriding LA_URL. It's very hard for an already running service to change custom license server authorization code in license server side.

1. Add + / - 5 seconds buttons navigation for better navigation control. Just like you have in Channel9 videos.

It would be useful to have a ready-made player with fallback options for different devices with a license that would allow usage with content hosted from IIS Media Services.

Add an option to disable video prefetch. This is to better support scenarios where the video is not the primary content of the page, for example the video player is displayed as a widget on a portal home page or the video is part of a news article.
Currently the player will start prefetching video content once loaded and this is not ideal, especially on mobile devices.

I need to be able to attach callbacks to the video at different time points. for example i define an array TimePointsArray[03.453, 06.333, 10.212 ] and a function callBack(){ console.log("you have reached the CUE"); }. now as the video is being played, i want the callBack() function to be executed at every time point value in the TimePointsArray. Please also note that the TimePointsArray might get updated as the video is being played.
It will be a great relief if you could guide me achieve this with Azure Media Player.

Provide the option to download the medial content with most common choice of formats.

I would love to see Chromecast support added to the media player for desktop and mobile.

I have verified that with any one of a number of 3rd Party/open source html 5 player I can render 360' video uploaded to AMS. However in all cases they can only bind to the progressive download link created by generating a Locator. None work with the adaptive stream. It would be great if we had a reference player from AMS team that enable consumption of either source from AMS. Something along the lines of a player similar to http://vrinnovation.net/vrvideo/ would be awesome!

Flash/Silverlight always starts with very low bandwidth even on high bandwidth connections. I would like an option to buffer for a few seconds to get full quality to start. This is especially needed because flash/silverlight is only tech supported in IE on Windows 7.

Please add the support for Preload option in azure media player.

Preload option means, it should allow the player to start downloading the media on the page load instead of after the play button is pressed.
This will increase the speed of start up.

Thanks,
Kiran

It would be desirable to have API support of current playback frame rate. This is useful for test purpose. In addition, it is useful to keep track of lost frame count in a playback session.

Would be helpful to be able to ask the player its current state (playing, paused, buffering, idel, etc.) rather than having to check each individual state or listen to all the events and track ourselves.
