Ambulant Player is a SMIL 2.0 playback engine available for Mac OS X, Linux, Windows and handhelds (Windows CE or Zaurus Linux).

It is targeted primarily at presentation authors and developers: it attempts to provide very good adherence to the SMIL 2.0 standard, and the player has been structured in such a way that adapting it to different needs should be relatively easy.

The AMBULANT player may also be used as a complete, multi-platform media player for applications that do not need support for closed, proprietary media formats. If you want to use AMBULANT as a media player, please keep in mind that licensing issues prevent us from providing support for RealMedia or WindowsMedia proprietary formats in this release of AMBULANT.

What's New:
This version contains full support for SMIL 2.1.
Other news: AMBULANT now uses a new LGPL licensing scheme;
the distribution now inlcudes support for HTML media;
it provides initial support for a plug-in module for use with the Firefox browser;
it also features a wide range of bug fixes and developer scripting features.
