JW Player module for Drupal. SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------- The JW Player module adds a new field for displaying video files in a JW Player. For a full description visit the project page: http://drupal.org/project/jw_player Bug reports, feature suggestions and latest developments: http://drupal.org/project/issues/jw_player 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). INSTALLATION ----------------------------------------------- * Download either the latest commercial or the latest non-commercial JW Player at http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/. * Extract the zip file and put the contents of the extracted folder in libraries/jwplayer. E.g.: sites/all/libraries/jwplayer or sites//libraries/jwplayer * Install this module as described at http://drupal.org/node/895232. * Go to Administration > Reports > Status reports (admin/reports/status) to check your configuration. BASIC USAGE ----------------------------------------------- In that 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=
