Hi,

Set the server buffer

Set the client buffer to 12 seconds (No ticket)

Tinkering with the settings (No ticket, but suggest a couple of days. We've got most of the settings available through the test harness for ABR2)

Performance all done apart from defect raised to fix the concatenation of widgetName with displayMode ONLY if the widget name is 'emp'.

Playlist VO needs to be requested AFTER the configVO has been returned to the widget so we can then give the CompletePlaylistParser the configVO in the constructor of the Parser so that the parser has the required Config settings to strip out unwanted items and groups. Also need to remove any malformed or broken items. (Ticket created, but the extra work to reorder the process of requesting the playlist after the config in each of the widgets should have been ticketed by Fiona yesterday, however she was very busy so possibly this wasn't done)

Use the new PlaylistVO correctly in the EMP2 vo. We need the EMP2 to use the new playlistVO in the same way it used the playlist XML. An example of this is that in the old way the holding image was found on the playlist xml by walking up the xml to the link with the name of 'holding'. In the playlistVO the items have arrays of links rather than a parameter of holding image so the EMP2 needs to go through the array of links and find the holding image. There are only a few examples like this where the EMP was looking for a specific thing on the xml (I believe) but worth a quick look in the code. (Needs a ticket, Fiona is aware what needs to be done so she could write this ticket)

Implement the Local Shared Object communication. Ticket not created as until yesterday we hadn't decided exactly how to implement it due to the warning shown to people with LSOs set to store no data. As Liam isn't worried about it we can go ahead and implement the solution by always creating the LSO and as soon as the LSO is updated by one or either of the AS2 or AS3 sides then we switch over to this communication. (No ticket for reasons just explained)

Implement the shell in the Flash in Flash component. I believe there is a ticket but we still haven't had a chance to chat over how you thought this would be implemented so there isn't detail on the ticket.

This should get us up and running with EMP transitional, but suggest a testing ticket with a couple of days on it to give it a good once over to make sure that it is working.

Hope this covers everything. *Waits for phone call with baited breath*
