Getting Started

With all the numerous features that the Dash Player has to offer, it is easy to get overwhelmed with how to even get started using this amazing player. Hopefully, these tutorials will help out. For starters, this player was written as the first media player built specifically to tie in with an Open Source Content Management System (CMS). Due to its incredible power and flexibility, we decided to first add support with Drupal CMS ( we will be adding support for other CMS's in the near future ). But please don't be fooled... you can use this player without any Content Management System. In fact, this player is able to tap into the most standard mechanisms for media delivery including XML Playlist, Single File Support, and of course RSS (which is the technology of Podcasting).

So, let's get started....

Before you begin, you must first decide what type of system you would like to have host this player. What I mean by "host" is simply the type of website you would like to have that uses the Dash Player to show your websites media. Although you are more than welcome to use this player with any website implementation out there, it is highly recommended that you at least explore the Drupal CMS solution. It has so much to offer in terms of security and flexibility with regard to construction of playlists and management of the content that will easily set your website apart from any of your competitors. So with that said, below are the two types of implementations that the Dash Player supports. Please click on the links to learn more about how to implement this player in those systems.
