REQUIREMENTS
-----------------------------------------------
* This module depends on the File module, which is part of Drupal core, Chaos
Tools (http://drupal.org/project/ctools) and the Libraries module
(http://drupal.org/project/libraries, 2.x or greater).
INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------
* Install this module as described at http://drupal.org/node/895232.
* For a Cloud-Hosted Player, visit admin/config/media/jw_player/settings and
configure your Cloud-Hosted player's URL.
* For a Self-Hosted Player:
* Download the self-hosted version of JW Player from http://www.jwplayer.com/
* Extract the zip file and put the contents of the extracted folder in
libraries/jwplayer.
E.g.: sites/all/libraries/jwplayer or sites/<sitename>/libraries/jwplayer
* Visit admin/config/media/jw_player/settings and configure your Self-Hosted
Player License Key.
* Go to Administration > Reports > Status reports (admin/reports/status) to
check your configuration.
BASIC USAGE
-----------------------------------------------
In the majority of cases JW Player is used as a field formatter on a file
field. Before enabling JW Player on a field, visit /admin/config/media/jw_player
to configure one or more presets. A preset is a group of JW Player settings,
such as dimensions and skin, that can be re-used multiple times.
Once a preset has been defined visit /admin/structure/types and select "manage
display" for the content type you'd like to configure and select "JW player" as
the formatter on the relevant file field. At this point you will also need to
click on the cog beside the field to select the preset you'd like to apply to
the file. That's it - videos uploaded to this field should now be displayed
using JW Player!
CUSTOM SKINS
-----------------------------------------------
Custom skins should be placed in a folder called "jwplayer_skins" in your
libraries directory (for example, sites/all/libraries). For versions older than
JW Player 7, the skin file will have an extension of ".xml" or ".swf". For
JW Player 7 and newer, all skins are defined as CSS files, and should have an
extension of ".css".
For additional information on creating custom skins, see the "Player Styling"
section below. You can also see examples of JW Player 7 skins by downloading
a self-hosted copy of JW Player, and reviewing the files located in the "skins"
subdirectory in the jwplayer folder.
URL BASED SEEKING
-----------------------------------------------
You can create permanent links that make jWPlayer start playing at a given
time frame. The url must look like this:
/path/to/site?seek=<TIME>#<PLAYER_ID>
<TIME> is the offset in seconds the player should start and <PLAYER_ID>
is the id of the player the seeking is targeted on. This enables seeking
for sites with multiple instances of jWPlayer on it.
Not that seeking only works if the server delivering the media file is
capable of doing so. If the Server does not support this the player will
always start at the beginning.
LIMITATIONS
-----------------------------------------------
1) It is not possible to have multiple JW Player cloud-based presets on the
same page. In such a situation, each player will have its own Player Library
URL. When loaded on the same page, there will be a conflict. The way to
resolve this issue is use one Cloud Player Library URL (the default defined
on the General Settings page at /admin/config/media/jw_player/settings), and
set each preset used on the page to have Drupal-defined settings.
2) Autoplay, loop, and muted functionality does not work on all browsers. Please
refer to this page for information on which browsers support the attributes:
