This is some awesome technology. I’m not too big into sports, but the potential for this to be used in other mediums is great. Keep up the good work!

Well, I’m right…for once

Mike Davidson has announced that ESPN Motion is available for Firefox!

I asked for this a few days ago when ESPN Motion for the Mac was released. Guess I wasn’t that far off the mark eh?

I don’t know about anyone =else=, but i’m using firefox and i”m seeing NOTHING on the Motion Launcher…when i click on the links I see nothing except the commercials! This is followed by a blank page. I have flash player 7 installed. I have NO idea what the problem is, or the solution. I have a broadband connection, and am giving the videos PLENTY of time to load. As a matter of fact it’s saying “Playing” on the launcher, but again, NOTHING is being seen.

Thank you.

Hi Mike,

I had found a posting a while back by an ESPN employee who was familiar with the Motion project (maybe you) that stated that the technolgy behind Motion would be released as open source. I work at an educational TV studio and have a huge amount of content that I would love to pre-cache/push to users. If Motion’s code is something that will never be made public, is there an open source alternative that has a similar feature set? I know there are companies out there who offer this ASP-style, but coming from a school, hardware and bandwidth isn’t an issue. The application is. What do you think?

Looks good. Just one question. Why doesn’t ESPN validate though? Most of the 330(!) validation errors seem unnecessary.

I’m definitely one happy Mac-user and said so when I provided some feedback via the ESPN site. I think the video quality is more than adequate as well. I was surprised by the quality and how well it all worked.

Now I can completly leave IE behind. Excellent. Nice job. Will these feature be rolled out on all of ABC’s websites?
