Subject: [CODE4LIB] Media Viewer

We're looking into options for displaying digitized archival content and I'd like to include a viewer in the option list. I've seen these other places and thought there might be something to crib from online somewhere, but can't find one. Perhaps they're all homegrown.

What I'm looking for is some sort of viewer that I can pass a file name and path to, that loads in image gallery if their images, loads a HTML5 w/flash fallback video player for videos, loads an audio player for audio, and maybe even a PDF viewer.

Is there anything out there like this, perhaps not out of the box, but close to? I'm not looking for modal boxes, like Shadowbox, as that's already on the options list. Oh, and we do not yet have and are not ready for a digital asset manager/repository.

Many thanks,
Nathan
