In previous years, tabbed Internet browsing has become much more common. The ActionScript Virtual Machine received some targeted optimizations for performance and improvements were made to the garbage collector for efficiency. The team reduced the amount of memory required at runtime particularly for bitmap-intensive applications.

Since different devices and systems have widely varying processors and memory and Flash Player needs to work across all of them, the development team focused its efforts on creating a single runtime that works across all. Performance, Power Management in Flash Player 10.1 Fast Switch also improves switching time between different bitrates, reducing the time to receive the best viewing experience based on bandwidth or processing speed. This reduces the start after seeking through video. To fight problems associated with short term network failures that can disrupt video playback, Stream reconnect features in Flash Player 10.1 enable an RTMP stream to continue playing through the buffer even if the connection is temporarily disrupted.Īnother notable addition is Smart Seek features, which allow a viewer to seek within a new 'back' buffer so moving back and forward through video content without Flash Player calling back to the server. Application level multicast allows for one (or a few)-to-many streaming of continuous live video streams as well as real-time audio/video chat applications. This new option enables media publishers to leverage standard HTTP networking infrastructure to help increase capacity, reach, and quality of service for video delivery using standards-based MP4 fragments.įlash Player now supports peer-assisted networking groups, which allows an application to segment its users and send messages and data between members of the group. The addition of HTTP Dynamic Streaming expands the delivery options for high quality live and on-demand media with full adaptive bitrate functionality. For Windows users (for now), Flash Player 10.1 introduces hardware-based (GPU) acceleration of H.264 video content, offloading the task from the CPU which could greatly improve playback. Sticking with AfterDawn roots, we should mention what Flash Player 10.1 means for video before anything else.
