Hello Ben,
Thanks for the guide:
Here is one of the video links:

The video on that page is working OK for me in all browsers: IE11, FF30, Chrome35.
@davox2000,
Upgrade to 6.9 version, there is html5 support for YouTube videos. Now it works with flash.
This is working for me as well in all browsers.
@ ben1189, Thank you but where do i get the upgrade? This site is so confusing i cant find the upgrade page. Can you please help me?
You can get the cloud hosted script from here, self hosted to follow – https://account.longtailvideo.com/#/account
@ Ethan, thank you , but mines is a self hosting, where can i get the self hosting? Please help i am losing visitors on my page, because of this. Thank you in advance
6.9 will be out via self hosting shortly.
oh God! When approximately?
is it possible to use the coud hosted until then? How does it work? i tried to follow the linbk but it led me to my account the same old player i bought months ago
*cloud
~1-2 days.
Yes, just use the script line from – https://account.jwplayer.com/#/account , it says “cloud hosted”
so how do i replace my self hosted player, with the cloud hosted script? HOW DOES IT WORKß
Right now I assume you are linking to jwplayer.js in a script tag, right? Just update that line to the cloud hosted JS file from the account page.
you mean, repalce the current script:
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{/literal}{$smarty.const._URL2}{literal}/jwplayer.js"></script>
with THIS; the cloud hosted script?:
<script src="http://jwpsrv.com/library/zfFIwA1oEeOVihIxOUCPzg.js"></script>
Yes.
i dont know what im doing wrong, but the video is still not playing on google chrome
Works in Chrome for me, see screenshot – http://i.imgur.com/q4A11QW.png
means video is running in Chrome?
still saying "error loading"
Have others check. Maybe something with your machine. It works for me, as well as MisterNeutron.
Thank you very much for your valuable time Ethan!
I hope the self hosted version will be out soon. Have a great day sir.
Np, you too!
Hi Ethan,
Will we be notified, when the self hosted HTML5 player is out?
Yes. It is coming out either today or tomorrow.
Also, you could always just download the 3 files from:
http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/9/jwplayer.js
http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/9/jwplayer.html5.js
http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/9/jwplayer.flash.swf
Hi Ethan,
I tried to open the link, but this is what i get why i try to open it:
(function(g){g.html5={};g.html5.version="6.9.4867";g=g.utils.css;g(".jwplayer ".slice(0,-1)+" div span a img ul li video".split(" ").join(", .jwplayer ")+", .jwclick",{margin:0,padding:0,border:0,color:"#000000","font-size":"100%",font:"inherit","vertical- etc...
I just downloaded 6,9 but there is also a folder MACOSX what is that?
I uploaded it on my server and i overwrote the previous ones, but when i right click on the video player i still sii its 6,8 version
ok now its showing that its 6,9 version, but google chrome is still not playing it here in Germany since sunday, what is the folder MACOSX? is that for apple? so why i need it? do i have to upload that too?
Self hosted is out the dashboard now, just download that. No, you don’t need that folder.
Thank you Ethan, but the right click pop up of the Html5 player is pops up and covers the video screen whole time when ever a video is clicked to watch on my mobile site since the update with Version 6,9. Can you please help fix the problem? I am losing visitors.
Here is the link of my mobile site:

I don’t see what you mean here?
