Group 4: Video Streamer

Idea
Offer a service where users can play videos from different channels through a common portal. Available channels are shown for users in a list. Selecting a channel from list shows a list of videos available from that channel. Selecting an item from video list will show it with an embedded player.
The initial idea of remote jukebox service had to be scrapped as there was no feasible way to create a jukebox service that could be used remotely during the course.

Component summary

Main window is VerticalLayout that contains a caption Label and vertical SplitPanel. Top part of SplitPanel contains a GridLayout where Embedded component (flash video player) is on the left side and channel list Table is on right side. Bottom part of SplitPanel holds VerticalLayout holding a Table where available video list is loaded when an item is selected.
Impressive!
Problems
Positioning items on the screen is somewhat hard at times. Especially relative width/height requiring some absolute width/height from higher level element seemed somewhat confusing.
