Player factory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

Since you are using an interface for three kinds of media, do you have an 
idea on how I could automatically call the good constructor depending on 
the type of media I wish to play?

Ex.: 
if the media is a quicktime, use the QuickTime player
etc....

Should you add a factory returning the good implementation of 
AbstractMediaPlayer?

Ex.: player = PlayerFactory(String url); //analyse the url and detects the 
good constructor (QuickTime, MediaPlayer or others...)

Hello,

That functionality is already available in the PlayerUtil class in the
com.bramosystems.gwt.player.client package.

It's as simple as ...

player = PlayerUtil.getPlayer(url, autoplay, height, width);

The method returns a suitable player depending on the plugin available on the 
client
and ability to handle the specified media.

You may want to check the API docs details.
