http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12536/configuration-options#logo

logo.file ( undefined )
Location of an external JPG, PNG or GIF image to be used as watermark. PNG images with transparency give the best results.

logo.link ( undefined )
HTTP link to jump to when the watermark image is clicked. If it is not set, a click on the watermark does nothing.

logo.linktarget ( _blank )
Link target for logo click. Can be _self, _blank, _parent, _top or a named frame.

logo.hide ( true )
By default, the logo will automatically show when the player buffers and hide 3 seconds later. When this option is set false, the logo will stay visible all the time.

logo.margin ( 8 )
The distance of the logo, in pixels from the sides of the player.

logo.position ( bottom-left )

This sets the corner in which to display the watermark. It can be one of the following:
  • bottom-left
  • bottom-right
  • top-left
  • top-right

logo.timeout ( 3 )
When logo.hide is set to true, this option sets the number of seconds the logo is visible after it appears.

logo.over ( 1 )
The alpha transparency of the logo on mouseover. Can be a decimal number from 0 to 1.

logo.out ( 0.5 )
The default alpha transparency of the logo when not moused over. Can be a decimal number from 0 to 1.

I have bought your player, but I use vBulletin allowed to HTML code for show my tutorial and video making, I not make a share site like youtube or dailymotion. So I use embed code like this following one:

<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="328" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=video.mp4&image=preview.jpg" />
<embed src='http://mysite/player.swf' height='445' width='660' bgcolor='0x000000' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars='&author=Blackout%20Media&backcolor=0x000000&file=http://mysite/videos/phapt.flv&frontcolor=0xcccccc&image=http://mysite/thumb/phapt.png&lightcolor=0xcccccc&plugins=vidrate-1,tweetit-1,fbit-1,gapro-1,sharing-1,ltasd&dock=true&screencolor=0x888888&stretching=fill&title=phBot%20Auto%20Party%20Tutorial'/>

I have buy a licence because I wanted to have my own watermark not jwplayer. So where I need to add the code inside this for show it in my embed code. Need to know, I not really sure php code are allowed on vbulletin. Thanks for your answer.

Thank you Ethan.

...just my two cents - the config page should have that exact convention shown, because it it different than the rest of the embed code, which is what stumped me in the first place.

Great products and service though!

You are only using <embed> code here. You need both <embed> and <object> tags for cross browser support.

Example – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='470' height='320' id='single1' name='single1'>

<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='wmode' value='transparent'>
<param name='flashvars' value='file=http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv'>
<embed id='single2' name='single2' src='player.swf' width='470' height='320' bgcolor='#000000' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars='file=http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv' />

The issue is that your code is pointing to player.swf in the test post, but it should be pointing to http://blackoutmedia.net/embedvideos/player.swf

Ok, in your code:

Change this line:

<param name='movie' value='player.swf'>

To this:

<param name='movie' value='http://blackoutmedia.net/embedvideos/player.swf'>

And change this line:

src=‘player.swf’

To this:

src=‘http://blackoutmedia.net/embedvideos/player.swf’

Your code on your page still has this reference – <param name='movie' value='player.swf'><br />

You need to remove the <br /> tags and make sure you are referencing the player.swf file in the right location, which I posted above.

Try this code:

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='470' height='320' id='single1' name='single1'>
<param name='movie' value='http://blackoutmedia.net/embedvideos/player.swf'>
<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='wmode' value='transparent'>
<param name='flashvars' value='file=http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv'>
<embed type='application/x-shockwave-flash' id='single2' name='single2' src='http://blackoutmedia.net/embedvideos/player.swf' width='470' height='320' bgcolor='undefined' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' wmode='transparent' flashvars='file=http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv' />
</object>

If that doesn’t work, try this:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://player.longtailvideo.com/swfobject.js'></script> <div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div> <script type='text/javascript'> var so = new SWFObject('http://blackoutmedia.net/embedvideos/player.swf','mpl','470','320','9'); so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true'); so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always'); so.addParam('wmode','opaque'); so.addVariable('file','http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv'); so.write('mediaspace'); </script>

Last question, I give my src of the player on my site, if someone take this src and remplace the file= for is own video file and add his own logo on his own site, this will work or not, because I have bought it and I don't want everybody can take it.
