Adobe Media Player was a desktop media player that allowed users to manage and interact with their media content, and allowed content publishers to define branding and advertising in and around their content. The Adobe Media Player was one of the first Adobe AIR applications from Adobe Systems. It was announced at NAB show in Las Vegas and was released in April 2008.[1] It used DRM and enforces advert viewing, when watching videos both online and offline.

Adobe Media Player was discontinued on September 16, 2010.[2]
