Since JW Player 6.9 was just released yesterday, we will need a few days to create new support documents. Please give us a few days…

Um, you're supposed to create the support documents BEFORE releasing the software. Then you can release them together, and you don't have to make excuses.

They are here:

However, I would have thought that given the relationship between the sender and receiver components of Chromecast in JW Player terms being a one-to-one relationship, and with JW having built and registered the receiver application already, I would expect the "appid" to simply be the JW application ID and so this should be defaulted/hidden within the code. The option to change it would only make sense if you wanted to use JW Player as a sender with a non-JW receiver...

Maybe the JW Team could clarify.
