Hi, how can i embed videos that are uploaded to JWPlatform with javascript API (playerInstance.setup)?
I know that there is a file property asking for a full URL, but I only have the video key. Putting the video key in file property didn't work. Can someone please help? Thanks.
If you know the video’s media ID and the player ID, you can embed a video using the following Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.jwplatform.com/players/[mediaID]-[playerID]"></script>Hi thanks for the response. But I need to use the API because I need to manually trigger the pause/play/rewind features through the js api.
I don't think <script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.jwplatform.com/players/[mediaID]-[playerID]"></script> gives me the ability to manually trigger those events, or could I?
Yes, you can add your Javascript API events in a <script> tag after that single-line embed code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.jwplatform.com/players/[mediaID]-[playerID]"></script><script> jwplayer().on('ready',function(){alert('Enjoy this video!');}) </script>Okay thanks but what if there are multiple vids on same page? How would I reference which jwplayer?
You would need to indicate the specific player instance:
jwplayer(‘both_[videoID][playerID]div’).on();
Ah nvm, I see you can specify by doing var player = jwplayer(0); thanks!
You can do it that way, but those numbers might not always be the same. Pointing to the specific div ID is more exact.
Hm with this, do I lose ability to call .setup() ?
No, but the .setup() call is already made for you in the initial http://content.jwplatform.com/players/[mediaID]-[playerID].js that loads
I just realized I forgot the .js in my first reply to you. The correct code for the single-line embeds should read:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.jwplatform.com/players/[mediaID]-[playerID].js"></script>Okay as long as I can perform configurations that setup() can do, I should be good. Is this the case?
Doh, I have run into a problem.
I need to load JWPlayer's hosted video files using playerInstance.setup({}). Is there any way to do so given that I have the necessary videoid and playerid?
If that's not possible, then using <script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.jwplatform.com/players/[mediaID]-[playerID]"></script>
, I'd need to get the DIV ID of the video player. Is this possible?
Please let me know, thanks!
okay never mind i got it!
