Hello, I use jwplayer from a local source - no web server. I noticed that the same code works on web server, but for some reason I can't use things like
player.sendEvent('PLAY')
local. Why is this, and how to solve it ?
Has it to do with flash or wiht swfobject.js?
The JavaScript API does not function from local/offline sources due to Adobe Flash Player security restrictions.
See this article and others on Adobe's site for the details:*http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/local_network_playback_03.html*
As mentioned in the Adobe article, a local SWF can access local files. So if all the files are local--the HTML, the SWF, the JS, and the FLV--it should work.
It's not an issue of accessing files.
See thie article: *http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html*
Scroll down to "Method Detail". There is a note explaining local content and a couple of links to security documents that explain the sandboxing in greater detail.
And JW Player works offline if I re-export the soruce of the player selecting "Access Local Files only"?
Thanks
Did anyone resolve this?
@Chris -
This issue is pretty much resolved – it isn’t supported to do player / javascript interaction in a local context.
