The team was responsive and proficient in supporting with my tech issues and queries. And moreover am impressed with the set of cool skins available in this HD FLV player. I just installed the free version to try them, but later I upgraded to paid version to obtain more features. The upgrade was worth purchasing it. Thanks
I was really happy to post review for this product. I strongly agree with the below commented user fredmail. Their support was fabulous and the product indeed is good. Seems to be a great team working behind. Congrats.
After reading the recent reviews here I was bit afraid about this components performance. Continuous follow up by the tech support guys made me to write this first review on joomla.
Though the chat response is slow when I contacted through email, they were fabulous and they were with me till they answered all of my questions .. with my personal experience I will rate 5 stars..

I paid a lot of money in the hope to have a possibility to play video's on my Ipad, using the HTML5 functionality. However I did not succeed in playing a MP4 video, using a normal Firefox browser.
It is very difficult to communicate with the support (very poor english)

Hi
Apologize for the inconvenience, I thoroughly checked your ticket and found that the video that you mentioned is not playing on firefox browser but it works good on Ipod. We have also checked this video on other player like JWPlayer and it does the same. So, its a problem with the video codec.
When we uploaded a new video it works well on browsers and also on Ipod / Ipad. You can check the video titled Test Video on your website
If you are still not satisfied and want refund please send your request to info@contus.in. We will provide you the refund.
Thank you

HD FLV Player seemed to work great for 9 months, then all of a sudden after 47 videos uploaded, the oldest video started showing up as the first video in my list for no reason. No matter how I soted them in the backend, it would not work. Others on the forum said the same thing and the one reply from Contus was to change some code. The poster said they did and it caused his player to error out. When you don't get a reply in a timely manner, and your player code is bad, who wants to take the chance of changing the code when you have to wait weeks for a reply
The reply was to go deep into the root files and change soring code in the files or upload the commercial version. Not everyone is a code junkie. If you take a look at the forum postings under Joomla, you will see hundreds of them, but only a few have replies and some postings have been there for months with no reply.
I really liked this HD player, but the support gets one star. There are very few updates to get rid of bugs and the forums are open to everyone and because of that, there are tons of postings on there on porn, animal sex and beastiality and tons of postings that have nothing to do with HD Player.
The developers could really do a lot better on customer service and support updates, and try answering the tons of questions posted with zero replies. If they would do this, I would rank this a 4 star.
I don't know how Hannes7 and others gave this a five star rating with fast and reliable support. Sounds lile the developers tooting their product, but hey.
I agree with "carantz", on very poor support.
Pick up the pace Contus and I would change my vote.

I usally do not rate things but i have to for this one. This is a good component. Like the functionality and the options. But just have one problem. The component is not free at all. So it should not say it is free. It has a demo version which has there company logo on it. if it is free then the company logo should be removed. other than that the product is $99.
The player is average, not too bad. However, support was an absolute joke. I submitted 3 tickets, and they simply closed all 3 without attempting to help resolve. Support was out of India, and on India time, NOT US Standard. No attempt was made by them to contact me for ANY kind of resolution, short of an email that said they WOULD contact me within 24 hours.
** YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN AFTER $99 PURCHASE! **

This is my first negative review on this site and I really have given this company so many chances but enough is enough.
I bought their player around 4 months ago. The presales support was great, lots of info and communication. However, after I paid my money, I found an issue with JS errors in IE8 (they only occur after refreshing the browser or leaving a page with a video on it).
I logged a ticket on August 16th 2010, explaining the problem. Obviously I can’t paste in all the text from my various chases but at various intervals (I normally gave them 2 weeks to at least give me an update), I chased and the normal reply was “Sorry for the delay.We are checking this.We will fix soon and update you.” followed by nothing for weeks.
This went on for months, where the only solution they did offer was an update to the module which actually made things worse! Not only did their update not fix the JS errors but it also put a space/gap at the top of the module where the title would have been (I had disabled displaying titles, so it should have collapsed that area).
After more chases and no answers, I finally lost patience and demanded it to be escalated to their senior dev. After another couple of “we’ll get back to you soon” replies, they came back to me (October 23rd 2010) saying it was my site, not their module!
I had to prove it was their module by setting it up on my dev site. If I disabled their module the JS stopped occurring. If I re-enabled their module, the JS errors started again.
After this, they seemed to accept it was their module and came back with another update to their module on October 25th 2010. Due to the problems with them before, I thought I better try it on my dev site first. Lucky I did, this updated module had the same issues as their previous update (didn’t fix JS errors and space at top) but also had a new issue. This time, it changed the page to the name of the video! This would have ruined my SEO.
They did offer to log into my site and try to fix but after all these mistakes, there’s no way I could let them in. I couldn’t risk them breaking something else.
I’ve finally uninstalled their components/module and I’m using another FLV player (with no JS errors). I’ve asked for a refund (on October 29th 2010) but they’ve gone completely silent now.
Anyway, I hope this review stops some others making the same mistake as I did.

Hi Robert
As you see the reviews from the other customers, we always give top priority even for after sales. On your case I see that my guys regularly update the status of the issue but there was a delay at the end since they were on the on the long festival holidays here in Diwali. When they back from the holiday they responded to your ticket on your request.
We will make sure to avoid the delay in response to all of our customers by monitoring the ticketing system closely. I would still like to resolve your issue if you are interested. My sincere apologize for the delay.
Thank you for understanding.
I just had to take to time and review this joomla product.
The HD FLV player is a great product with, great support.
This company truly supports their work, they have even gone above and beyond by helping me customize the system to fit our specific needs under share options, etc.
The HD FLV player is a "must have" purchase for any site that hosts a large amount of video content.
in addition to the fact that i have been able to incorporate this system with the shadowbox / lytebox java script.
Videos looks great on our site now!!!

Wow. AMAZING component. Installed and was up and running in under 10 minutes. The component is very user-friendly (like a video CMS within Joomla), and the module and plugin are easy and straight-forward. Overall, very intuitive, works like a charm. Very easy to set-up a video "gallery" using the playlists feature. Even the language tool is great, although a great addition would be to be able to configure more than one language (this would come in handy for multi-lingual sites). The only other tiny "complaint" is that the styling of the texts in the sharing mode is old-school (Times New Roman?). But overall an amazing component, well worth $99.
6 stars. Like.

Tried many other players before getting this hd player. this one never had any issues and the only fully functional player. Thanks
I am using the free version of this player. Work exactly the way I needed. I am happy because my client is happy.
The player itself is very good, and the support team have really helped me integrate it into my clients site, it looks amazing! Highly recommended, I did look at (and try) all the other options available and this was the best.
I am now using it again for another client site. Great work!
