    I mean you will need a server for streaming at first place - now its up to you what are your requirements. Second player having subtitle - i think as i said before i am not aware of any (i am not saying its not there at all or cannot be developed). Third - what do you mean by reconnect - i suppose you mean that if connection is lost in middle client should automatically connect - am i right?

    First question: Yes very much. You can write simple logic for reconnection. Also there is new feature called Smart Reconnect which you can use for this purpose.

    Smart Reconnect links: -

    Second question: - I am not aware of such plug-in personally but there are high chances that it might be available. But i want to know first how you want to achieve it - are you sub titles not embedded in movie itself or is it separate from movie content and if yes in what format. Even if one is not available for ready to use - i think developing one should not be big deal - it can simple as overlay on your client side which gets populated with text at runtime.

    Third question: You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/ (just choose your edition & on that page you should have download link) - OR once you decide to buy you can send your contact details(Name,Email,Phone,Geo Location) to me via private message and i can help you get in touch with right person.
