The Dead Weather / Nokia

Along with W+K, we’ve been helping Jack White’s new band The Dead Weather build interest in and broadcast a live concert over the www, sponsored by Nokia. My task was primarily to build a custom video player to be used to brooadcast the Akamai stream on the site, various blogs and on screens in record stores. It needed to be very lightweight and work at pretty much any size. I took the opportunity to create some nice reusable PureMVC classes for the streaming and player build. The player is also in use on the Stink Digital website.

Here are the source files for the Model side of things: VideoStreamProxies.zip

They are dependent on PureMVC and, in the case of the AkamaiConnectionProxy, on the Akamai connection package.
