I would like to do the following and then later .load() playlists.
bc.. jwplayer("mainaudio").setup({
height: 30,
width: 400,
primary: "flash",
controls: true
}).onSetupError(fun... etc
but I get an error saying 'No playable sources found', after which calling load() has no effect.
Is this possible or do I have to specify either file or playlist in setup()?
Many thanks
You need at least one file loaded on the first setup()
I agree with Ethan in specifying one file.
You could as a workaround use 'a dummy' file.
For example
bc.. sources:
[
{file:'video/0.mp4'}
]
This would display the JWPlayer with a black background.
*Would be nice IF it is possible to be able to set the JWPlayer's background to 'transparent'.*
Ethan woul dthis be forthcoming in the future?
Yeah, I usually use a 5 kb blank mp4 file.
I don’t think we are going to add transparency.
Thanks for your responses, I am working with audio and have got a 0.1 second mp3 as a dummy.
The problem I have with this solution is that all other playlists are rss feeds that specify an rtmp and then a http source. Because I have loaded my dummy mp3 first jwplayer seems to ignore the fact that the rtmp source is first in my rss and that I have set the 'primary' option to flash - and will only read the http source.
Apologies, ignore my last comment. There was a typo in the Type attribute that I think was causing jwplayer to fallback to http source.
Glad you got it.
