Released cfMediaPlayer on RIAForge

I've released cfMediaPlayer on RIAForge today. It's a ColdFusion custom tag wrapper to display FLV, MP3, MP4 and AAC files using the JW FLV Player™ with one line of code. For example, <cf_mediaplayer file="myvideo.flv"></cf_mediaplayer>.

This tag supports many more options than CF9's newly added cfMediaPlayer tag. Included is a readme.htm file that gives full descriptions on all of the available attributes as well as some detailed usage examples.

Download is available at http://cfmediaplayer.riaforge.org/. SVN access can be found at http://svn.riaforge.org/cfmediaplayer.

I look forward to hearing any feedback users might have. Thanks!
