JWPlayer in Windows 8 & 8.1 With IE Browser Access Controlled In Joomla By DOCman
I have a test site set up at http://www.joomla3.joesonne.com/support/jwplayer-test
I need to be able to access control videos inside Joomla 3 CMS for various access level groups.
I am using Joomlatools DOCman software for document and video management.
JWPlayer has a problem with Windows and IE when videos are access controlled by DOCman.
I've talked to the Docman developers about this and they say that DOCman is for sure a factor but the problem lies in JWPlayer.
When serving a video inside DOCman you need to tell JWPlayer what the video type is, this is not necessary when you link direct to the file.
So a direct link to a video when DOCman is NOT being used ends with '.mp4' like this:
file: '/images/stories/videos/crawfordtech-overview.mp4',
When a linking to a video file using DOCman the code looks like this:
file: '/64-crawfordtech-overview/file',
type: 'mp4',
I need to be able to serve videos with different access control levels for various customers inside Joomla.
Can you help me resolve this? I am not a javascript guy at all so I'll need some hand holding to sort this out.
Thank you!
