We have a commercial Product which we sell it to our clients. Can i use this player for free in my product? Are there any license restrictions. Even if you don't have restrictions,play video in web through rtmp streaming. Does it have any restrictions?
Thanks

At the bottom of the video.js GitHub page it says
Video.js is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
After reviewing the license skimming this page at tldrlegal. Yes you can use the player for free as long as you include the original copyright, license, and notice.

Chromium enables us to build it with support of H.264 and even H.265.
I would like to ask if any license fees have to be paid for that or how the licenses are being handled.
Thank you.
I was trying to publish a new version of an Add-on that was already created, but when I tried to publish it, in the Developer Dashboard and on the top of the page a warning message was shown:
As of November 21st, 2016, all newly published packaged or hosted apps are restricted to Chrome OS, and are not available to users on Windows, Mac or Linux. Existing apps will continue to be available on all major platforms and will continue to receive updates. - More Info
Note: This change does not apply to Google Drive Apps or Add-Ons for Google Apps.
So if you click on the "More Info" button you will see more additional information.
So all of this should be a problem to me because I have important applications that I need everyday, so I wonder if there is any other alternative way to keep working with add-ons.
Thank you!
AFAIK, this change (if Google decides to proceed with it) would only apply to Chrome Apps (see my answer here).
In the Chromium Blogpost (also the link for More Info in your post), it mentioned:
In the second half of 2017, the Chrome Web Store will no longer show Chrome apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux, but will continue to surface extensions and themes.
Add-ons weren't specifically mentioned, but as already included in your post, Add-ons that are for Google Drive Apps or any Google Apps in general (e.g. Docs, Sheets, etc.) are the exception.
If you're add-on is associated with a non-Google App, it is possible that you will be affected with the change. Seeing as the Chrome App will be removed, the associated Add-ons would follow.
You probably already know the differences between a Chrome App, an Extension, and an Add-on, but for future readers that are not familiar, might as well post this link to a YouTube video that explains Apps vs Extensions vs Add-ons.
I am reading documents which related to air, mobile ... author recommend software Adobe Device Central, I try researching available products of Abobe (https://creative.adobe.com/products) but I can't see it, it's necessary? If Adobe dropped it, is there any alternative?
Adobe Device Central has been discontinued: http://www.adobe.com/products/devicecentral.html
If you want to develop for mobile devices using Adobe Air then you have to take Adobe Flash. The HTML/JavaScript version is not available for mobile development. Instead you have to use Phonegap as Framework.
Are there any testing platforms out there for testing WAP/WML pages besides that provided by Nokia? I have tried to get ahold of the Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit but it's too tied down with authentication and certificates etc.
Nokia software is like Adobe and......sucks.
It's not really wap-oriented, but Aptana does have a plugin for symbian widgets, which I think is mostly html.
Openwave used to do an SDK for this purpose, which was very useful for testing compatibility with the large number of mobile phones shipped with Openwave Mobile Browsers. Since Openwave sold off their browser business it is no longer available on their websites or those of their successors - they appear to have deleted all the developer support information.
But a Google search for "Openwave SDK" may help.
I'm a C programmer and a total newbie to Flash/video/web world. Don't know where/how to start, and so would greatly appreciate your initial help.
Question
If I need to host flash videos off of my website (instead of embedding YouTube links on my webpages),
AND
If I need to provide player API like YouTube's that can be used, say, for supporting chromeless player versions customizable via this custom API of mine...
THEN
What do I need to do essentially...?
Write a custom Flash video player?
If yes, how? I mean, using which Adobe products / tools / SDKs / language(s)?
Is there anything free/opensource available for doing this? Especially, for Linux platform?
Write a new browser (firefox) plugin for users visiting my site?
Not sure how my custom Flash video player will get to the user visiting my site for the first time?
Any books, resources that cover this problem well?
Does the Flash content need to hosted off of a Windows server only?
Currently lost. Thanks in advance,
/SD
Flash has video playback support built-in, so all you need to do is use the Flash authoring environment or Flex to compile a .SWF file that uses the video API, with some buttons to stop and start the stream, volume, seeking, anything else you want your player to do.
Many people have already done this for you, in a way you can easily use from simple HTML. See eg. OSFLV, Flowplayer, JW...
Write a new browser (firefox) plugin for users visiting my site? Does the Flash content need to hosted off of a Windows server only?
Lord no! Flash video would never have taken off if it was just another custom-server+custom-plugin piece of unpleasantness. Though special streaming servers are possible, for the most part it's just an FLV file sitting on a web server.
(FLV is the video format supported by the Flash video playing functions. There are many, many tools you can use to convert other formats to it; I use Avidemux.)
If you are planning to use a "Progressive Download" approach, then your FLV files can be hosted on a Windows or a Linux box. Be aware that:
it is no as efficient as true
streaming.
you may not use it for live events
nor only for stored video files.
it cannot automatically detect the
end user's connection speed.
it is not possible to jump ahead to
another part while it's downloaded.
the video file will be saved on the
end user's computer.
If you are planning to use a "Streaming" approach then you can either buy and use Adobe's solution (Flash Media Server, available on both Windows and Linux box) or sign up for a hosted solution. On this page you will find recommended providers by Adobe. I personally have been using Influxis's hosting with success for a couple of years already.
You can also write your own streaming server but that would be a lot of hard work. If you are interested in that, I would recommend you have a look a Red5 which is an open source Flash Server written in Java.
