Share link on platform hosted videos

Hi

We are using JW platform hosting for video/player, and including the videos in our site via
<script src="//content.jwplatform.com/players/xxx-yyy.js"></script>
When sharing is turned on in player setup the link displayed inside the player points to content.jwplatform.com/previews/.
When examining the file above we noticed this is coded in the setup of the player:
... "sharing": { ... "link": "http://content.jwplatform.com/previews/MEDIAID-yyy" ...

How can we change that to not point to content.jwplatform.com but to our site?

Hi there!

Set up DNS masking on your account.

Let me know if that helps,

Hi

Thank you for your reply... now the link points to our subdomain but its still
http://our.domain.com/previews/MEDIAID-yyy

What we would like is for it to share the link to the article where the video is located.
For example if the video is embeded on http://www.domain.com/my-post.html
the link share should give that URL.

Ah, I understand. Go to the METADATA tab for that specific video in your JW Dashboard and add a URL in the permalink box.

That is it... this led me to the "link" parametar that can be passed to /videos/create API call which is exactly what we needed.
Thank you
