Can Brightcove vids be viewed using JW FLV PLayer?

Is this possible and if so, how is it accomplished?

Thanks

I have no idea what that means - that points to putfile not brightcove.

I am looking for the file reference information I need to put in the following variable to stream brightcove:

so.addVariable('file',<what goes here for brightcove?>);

Thanks.

Putfile uses Brightcove - you see!

Well, I know that Putfile uses the Brightcove player, but do you mean Brightcove uses Putfile as a file repository?

If so, how can I determine the flv encoded name from the Brightcove ID?

For example how can I transpose the following URL that links to a Brightcove video:

http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1522868710

?

What is server 204.14.123.30? Although it does appear to have some brightcove videos in there, clearly it does not contain all of them. Looks like someone's personal mirror of their favorite channels or something.

Browse: http://204.14.123.30/brightcove

Thanks for any clarification.

Found a solution. I used the Orbit downloader for Firefox to sniff out the flv name. The URL above

http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1522868710

points to FLV file:

http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/d5/unsecured/media/291742875/291742875_1517492244_28d617816bddbc16bf35e35560f7fd83e7ae3c37.flv

(Brightcove is buying space on Limelight networks)

I am sure that other tools can sniff out the flv url, but I just used Orbit.

To do this using Orbit: Use Firefox and install the Orbit downloader. Load the video page you want, then click the Orbit "arrow" above the video, then you will be prompted to reload the page, so it can sniff it. Once reloaded, you'll see the flv and some swf components in the download list. Check the flv file and click the download button. It will then open a new window displaying the full URL (at the top) and a place to save the file. Highlight the full URL and paste that into the script such as:

so.addVariable('file','http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/d5/unsecured/media/291742875/291742875_1517492244_28d617816bddbc16bf35e35560f7fd83e7ae3c37.flv');

One additional note, the flv URL contains an additional var (&OBT_fname), just delete &OBT_fname= and everything after it and you will be left with a good URL which works fine with the "file" variable for JW FLV player.

Cheers.

Straker: Maybe you can help me.

How do I find the FLV file in this Brightcove link

http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1137819692?bclid=1155151521&bctid=1650060104

I can use Orbit Downloader to D/L it but I cannot seem to find the full path to the FLV for streaming.

Thanks but that doesn't help explain how to fetch the flv link. All it says is there's an flv. How do we fetch it?

We can get the flv file.

What we are having trouble with is getting the URL of th FLV so that we can stream it via the Player.

Did you manage to get a URL that can be used?

http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1137819692?bclid=1155151521&bctid=1650060104

I have a similar problem. But I just want to be able to use the videos I have on my Brightcove account with JWPlayer, I don't want to download them (because I already have them on my computer).

I tried using the rtmp path from FLVURL, but I seem to be getting a NetConnection.Connect.Rejected message.

So is there a non-obscure, automated way to integrate the Brightcove media with JWPlayer?

Thank you for any suggestions!
