I want to maintain the current state of the player and load a new file source. I do not see anything in the JavaScript API.
I also see methods available on the player object that are not documented in the API, like attachMedia. Are these documented anywhere else?
Thank you
Hi,
Based on the documentation here:
https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1413089-javascript-api-reference#playlist
jwplayer().load(“video.mp4”);
Should work as expected.
As far as the other available methods you see, they are methods we use internally and they are not documented.
Thank you for your reply. When I attempt to use an RTMP stream as my file to load I get the following response:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load rtmp://server.example.com/samplevideo-7. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource.
For troubleshooting, I initialize the player with the following code:
playerInstance = $window.jwplayer(divId);
Later, on a button click, I run:
playerInstance.load(playbackUrl);
It seems as if this document should help:

If you can send over a stream and a test page I could have a closer look
The initial stream is an RTMP stream that has no issues loading. I assume the load() function is attempting to pull in the stream in a different manner than setup() function.
Unfortunately due to the nature of the application I cannot quickly set up an example. If necessary I can set something up on a gist if necessary.
I would also setup the player with regular javascript instead of jQuery
It is setup with the angular implementation of $window.
Have you tried jwplayer(“id”) instread of $window.jwplayer(“id”)?
Yes but due to our coding guidelines we adhere to attaching to the $window element. Either way it does not appear that I can dynamically load a new RTMP stream.
You can load a new stream, but it will change the player state.
You can either call jwplayer().load() or jwplayer().setup()
Ok, thank you. Are there any plans for a feature to swap out the file being played without changing state?
Not that I am aware of
