add download button

Hi,

Is it posible


<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer().addButton(
//This portion is what designates the graphic used for the button
"/uploads/myButton.png",
//This portion determines the text that appears as a tooltip
"Download Video",
//This portion designates the functionality of the button itself
function() {
//With the below code, we're grabbing the file that's currently playing
window.location.href = jwplayer().getPlaylistItem()['http:\\domain.com\archive\video.mp4'];
},
//And finally, here we set the unique ID of the button itself.
"download");
</script>

Sorry, I was to fast with sumitting the post.
But is it possible to add a different video link instead of 'file'?
Now i get a playlist.m3u8 file, when I click the download buttom.
instead of an video.mp4 file.

If you’re using HLS with the player, indeed we will trigger a download of this M3U8 file since it’s the file currently playing with the player. You can potentially use a static link if needed, rather than getting the file that is currently playing. For example:

window.location.href = “http://www.mysite.com/video.mp4” would trigger a download of this specific video file. It would make the setup a bit less dynamic, but would download whatever it was that you preferred.

Hi Andrew,
yes it works!!
Less dynamic, but beter than to download a useless m3u8 hls file.

Actually the share function, with mediaID is for me much nicer, because you can use it in a listbar with playlist. With the "download button" script I can only provide one download file.

Is there a way to use the download button in a listbar for each playlist item like the share function?

or provide two download buttons with text 720P and 480P?

Great to hear! This isn’t something built into the player, but with some metadata, you can hypothetically pull the information out of your playlist and display it similarly to:
