Description

SideShow is an AIR based FLV player. Based on TempoLite, it's capable of playing FLVs, MP4s, or really whatever Flash Player is capable of. SideShow currently supports the following file types: flv, mp4, m4v, m4a, 3gp, mov, f4v, f4p, f4a, f4b, mp3. The UI is based on Sasami2K, a fantastic video player built years and years ago. Sasami2K is no longer actively developed (latest was in 2001) so I took it upon myself to revive my own version in the form of SideShow.
