Media RSS (mRSS) is a standard web format that enables you to connect Wiredrive media and credits to your website. Building your website on mRSS gives you the power to administrate Wiredrive content on your website by updating presentations in Wiredrive.

If you want to power your company website with Wiredrive content or if you are a web developer tasked with integrating Wiredrive media and credits, the following resources will help you get started. Please note that we are sharing all of our resources openly on Google:

Users with Flash player version 9 or higher can now playback self-contained FLV and SWF files natively in Wiredrive Library and Projects. This update means that Perian, a third-party plugin, is no longer required to playback Flash-based files through QuickTime. Additionally, the Flash player has a built-in full-screen mode, so Internet Explorer users reviewing self-contained FLVs and SWFs can fit files to fill their displays. Note that you cannot currently add FLVs to video reels for sequential playback.

To strengthen security at the user level, we have removed review-level users’ ability to download files. The review access level is a Wiredrive Projects permission. All other access levels, including Wiredrive Library permissions, remain unchanged. See the Projects User Permissions page for more information.

The Wiredrive architecture has been updated and moved to a private server cloud, which provides a number of benefits:

• 10 times more bandwidth for faster performance.
• 5 times more storage capacity for better overall performance.
• Reduced latency, including approximately 30% faster downloads for European and other international clients.
• Integration with multiple service providers for optimized network routing, more redundancy and fewer peer-to-peer conflicts.

The breadcrumbs in the main folder view panel header lets you keep track of your location within within a project room. Because each folder and subfolder is linked, you can also use the breadcrumb trail as a navigation aid:

We have updated the data table in the Library presentation report page to make the information easier to read.
