JWplayer encode ampersand in video URL

guillaume.montard — Apr 17, 2015 08:38AM EDT

Hello,

I'm using CloudFront with signed URL passed as URL arguments.
If I past my URL which does contain ampersand (aka: &), JWPlayer encode this to "&" which cause CloudFront to not work as it doesn't recognize it.

It seems it's also a bug related to SWFObject (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20666337/swfobject-is-changing-ampersand-to-amp-how-do-i-stop-it)

Could you do something about it?

The fix for now is to add ".replace(/\&/g,'&')" to the URL but it's obviously not very clean.

Thanks.

Do you happen to have a link to where you’re setting this up? We’d like to confirm the player version/URL being used for testing on our side.

I'm sorry but I can't show it to you.

Hi Guillaume,

Again, we really need some sort of public-facing link to assist further. Please let me know if it’s possible to provide this.
