We are an official reseller of JW player. This extension ships with the licensed version of JW player, you do not need to install it separately. Owners of a JW player license get a discount.
With the module, you can display video and audio wherever on the page. With the plugin, you can include audio and video directly into the article via an insert button at the bottom of the editor, or you can write shortcode directly in the article itself. Use default settings to minimize the workload.
The download link feature can be placed anywhere, whether in a module or an article, in between text, etc,... It generates an expiring URL so that the link cannot be used elsewhere. Very useful for PDFs, docs, rich media for download, any file residing on S3 amazon is supported!
Our experienced support team helps you out when you have problems configuring CloudFront! You get one-to-one support, online manuals and tutorials, a forum to interact with others, and we can give you advice on how to use S3 Amazon effectively.
This extension works with most membership systems and is excellent to create a video/audio portal or training/coaching series or portfolio sites.

It's a cliche, but I never leave reviews of extensions. However, in this case, I've had extraordinary service, and an extension that does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it well.
I've never used video streaming before, so took time to read and review the documentation, and set up the system correctly. When it still didn't work, I had a private Skype call outside of working hours to help make it work.
Once fixed, we were up and running in no time! I cannot recommend these guys too highly!

Component is good. It has really good potential!
However, it doesn't work on some joomlart templates for Joomla 1.5.
Somebody should fix it.

I had been looking for a solution to set up CloudFront private streaming videos on a membership site for some time when I came across S3 MediaStream. I decided to give it a try and it proved to be a good decision! This plugin really does the trick. I had my first private streaming video playing in 10 minutes after solving the issues with CloudFront Streaming distribution first. And I got good customer service from Rudolf, he was willing to assist me over GoToMeeting when I was struggling with AWS. The result: I am now moving all videos + pdf documents to AWS and offer them with this plugin to customers for viewing and downloading.
I've been using this extension for over a year and serving more than 300 videos in different resolutions (filmdiy.com). The extension is working flawlessly from day 1 and is being tested everyday again and again by thousands of users. Support is above what anyone would expect. I'm glad it's in the JED, so I can recommend it to the community.
I was looking for a good solution to stream my videos with AWS S3 and to keep the security of my content to a high level.
After testing a lot of tools and after several days to study the very complex Amazon AWS system. I found S3 Media Stream. It simply work great! the support is excellent. All my questions was answered rapidly. Thank you very much for your work that help me to save a lot of time and effort.

What I can say.. This is the best component I could find for streaming amazon videos on my site. I stream over 8000 videos with S3 Media Stream component and dont have any problems at all. They have a great support and helped me with the setup and gave me many advices regarding usage of this component. I am very happy. Thank you and waiting for new features :)
If you are working with media content which you wish to provide from Amazon S3/Couldfront this component is the best pick available this day. I bought it long time ago before it was listed on JED and have used for over a year. A huge amount of improvements have been completed since that time. My first project with this component was a big portal with literally thousands videos, which were streamed through Amazon S3/Cloudfront and this component still functions to this day wonderfully. Though Apple constantly updates it's systems, the Video streaming for portable devices like iPod, iPhone and iPad was available through this component since many months ago. They were made available on my project when viewing directly inside Safari browser (which is excellent for paying customer to be able to view their media on the fly). Though "ripping" media has been a standing practice for a long time, true-streaming videos from Cloudfront makes this operation more difficult though new software is being developed for that every day. From all commercial components that i have used this one gave me almost no problems once i figured out how to operate S3/Cloudfront service itself. It takes a small bit of time to learn to encode videos properly to make them available on iOS devices as well as in regular browsers, but for that there is a great amount of support and learning materials on the developer's site. Highly recommend this component if the purpose of it is clear to you and that is what you are looking for.
Since a while I work with S3 Cloudfront to stream my videos, but could not do private streaming.
I stumbled by accident on this extension in the JED.
With this extension I have now a seemless integration of private streaming in my joomla websites.
And I can do in a fraction of the time it usually takes to integrate my videos.
I had a support question and they reacted fast. The guy who runs it really went out of his way to help me.
If you're working with S3 cloudfront and want to protect your videos, this is the extension you need.
