Play a video and audio file at the same time.

For a project, I capture 1 video file (.flv) and 3 separate audio files (also .flv).

I would like to use JWPlayer to play the video but allow the viewer to select one of the three audio files.

Given the nature of the project, it would be fine if the video restarted to accommodate the change in audio.

Is it possible to play a video file with a separate audio file at the same time?

Our software ensures the timing is sync'd ahead of time.

Thanks,

Mike

You can certainly have multiple instances of JW Player on a page, each independent of the others. Just use a unique ID for each one. I have no idea how you would coordinate them.

But why are you messing with FLV's? Obsolete, and unusable on any mobile device.

Indeed, you should be able to use our API to trigger things to happen with multiple players with some form of synching between them. We have an example of a similar setup here:
http://www.jwplayer.com/labs/experiments/karaoke-player/
This is using a few alternate sources, including a JW Player with audio, a youtube video, and a captions-based karaoke file.

For your own sake, I suggest ignoring Rick Astley, however.

Thanks Andrew. I'll give that a look and reply if I have any trouble.

Paula -- It's custom software. We have a red5 server setup and a python program that streams a message to each client (1 video and 3 audio) to start and stop recording as needed.
