Hi Mark

For DASH urls which don't end in ".mpd" I believe you can set "type":"dash".

To add a media ID to an RSS/XML playlist, use "guid" as follows:

...
<item>
<title>Title</title>
<description>Description</description>
<guid>uhv80mLC</guid>
<jwplayer:image>http://imageURL</jwplayer:image>
<jwplayer:source file="http://dashURL" label="0" type="dash" />
</item>
...

thanks James.

The setting type "dash" is not possible and I don't think you understood my question.

To get a media ID you go to the dashboard and add a external URL. The inside the detail of the URL ( in my case dash manifest) there is a drop down to set what type it is, there is nothing relating to dash here.

...also. If the GUID goes like you say , then what if I also have a m3u8 in the sources, this would need a different ID, so I think it has to go inline doesn't it with the mpd

Ah right. It wasn't clear you were talking about how to configure these options from the new JW Dashboard - my respond relates to old-school manual JW embedding.

To be honest the dashboard doesn't appear to be overly useful at the moment.

Hello Mark,

Perhaps you can tap into this via the API? http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1413074-javascript-api-quick-start . We do have a basic tut on mediaIDs here and how they are implemented within the new Unified Dash: http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/2083166-using-media-ids .

Kindly,
