Our open-source contributions
To be up-to-date in video technology is indispensable for a video platform. As fast as possible, we integrate to our products the open source software and the community knowledge. Every day we work with ffmpeg, x264, gstreamer, videolan projects, etc. If you have these particular needs, we can help you a lot because we have been working on these technologies for a long time!
Also, we made an important contribution to the open source community. Our open-source project has more than 220.000 downloads, with an average SourceForge project rank of 200 (from more than 300.000 other open-source projects).
With the Goalbit Media Player (desktop and browser plug-in editions) you can play and record video streams from the web, and you can live broadcast yourself with a home Internet connection. Also, you will need the Starter Suite in order to distribute GoalBit channels in the Web, and in order to do a web broadcast from the GoalBit Media Player browser plug-in.
