The Open Video Player Initiative is a community project dedicated to sharing player code and best practices around video player development and monetization.

The initiative includes an open source project hosted on Sourceforge.net and the openvideoplayer.com site where you can see examples, hear from OVP partners, and get the latest news about the project.

The dashboard, built by WASI, is a demo application which displays data using draggable drill down charts, forms, DataGrids, and links in a pod layout. You can modify layouts by dragging and dropping pods to a different location and minimizing, maximizing, and restoring pod windows. Layout changes are saved using a LocalSharedObject. Layout data is loaded from /data/pods.xml with values in pod.xml indicating which data files to load for a particular pod. You will need the datavisualization.swc to run this application.
