In a joint effort, and as previously stated on this very blog, our friends at the NFB and the folks here at Turbulent Media are now making the popular NFB player available for free for anyone seeking to display videos with flash.

The player is available as a compiled swf and is meant for basic video showcasing. You are free to use it on your blogs, twits and any other online video needs.

Source code and examples are available for download directly from the google code repository page nfb-video-player.

This first downloadable BETA package contains complete source code, all the graphical assets and a complete working example of the video player.

This beautiful player holds the Pyro API at its core, and is quite configurable through a series of flashVar parameters. You can easily integrate the player into your blog or website and use the available parameters to your own needs.

It is also the first exemple of a full Pyro integration being officially released, and will, without a doubt, make quite a few people happy, since we’ve been asked for real life working PYRO exemples.

We will be giving some basic support for questions and bug report related to this player through the nfb-video-player google code project.
