Self hosted player

As we host all our media files at JWPlatform we have access to the JWPlayer hosted at content.jwplatform.com.
But if we prefer to host the scruipts and flash file on our server how is this done?
I read from pagees "If you want to host your own player library, you can find both your license key and latest JW Player files in your dashboard's Advanced Account page."

But our dashboard is for video hosting only and the players tab is without license key or files to download.

All the best

Hello Staffan,

If you look at the top left of your account, do you see a JW Player logo with a Player or Platform designation? You could potentially use the following code as well to get started:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://p.jwpcdn.com/player/v/7.1.4/jwplayer.js"></script> <!-- Reference your local JW Player lib -->

</head> <body> <center> <div id="myElement">Loading Your Player…</div>

<script> jwplayer.key="LICENSE HERE"; // Your self hosted license goes here var playerInstance = jwplayer('myElement'); playerInstance.setup({ playlist:[{ file:"http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adaptive/wowzaid3/playlist.m3u8", mediaid:"756643" }] }); </script>

</center> </body> </html>

Hi Randy
I see the JW platform logo. But I'm not sure if that helps me.
I still need a license key. Where to find that?

And the file at http://p.jwpcdn.com/player/v/7.1.4/jwplayer.js seems OK to download and host on our own.
But do you also have a file without all the skinning code like css and base64 encoded data.

The reason I want to get rid of is that some firewalls are blocking the file because of content like "data:application/octet-stream"

best regards
Staffan

OK
I found a key in our lbrary at http://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/xxxxxx.js
I guess we can use that. Or is it likely to change over time?

Hmmm
I tried our player script a couple of times and saw that the key is changing almost every time.
I guess that's not the way to go. Or what?

Hello Staffan,

At the moment we do not offer self-hosted license keys for our v7 player at the moment. You could however use the CDN key you mentioned earlier but it would have to remain cloud hosted as the keys cycle. So you might not be able to remove the files.
