Downloads

JWPlayer (ver. 6) is free for non-commercial use, but you cannot get version 6 from the code rights holder's website anymore as they are now only support version 7. Unfortunately, version 7 is not compatible with version 7. If you already have the JPWPlayer ver. 6 library running on your server this is not a problem, but you don't you will have to download the source code for v. 6.12 from the jwplayer git repo and build it you first need to create an account on the page https://www.jwplayer.com/sign-up/ by clicking "GET JWPLAYER FREE" button. You will receive confirmation by email that your free for your environment. Also, you are still required to register for a free account on the company's website. When you receive email confirmation that your account has been set up, you can fetch your "license key", which isn't actually needed for using JWPlayer with Islandora.

The videojs module is easier to install for most Islandora managers than the JWPlayer module. It jideojs meets your needs, we recommend you use it. Then log in to your account at https://account.jwplayer.com/ and on your "dashboard" page find the bloc "Self-Hosted Player" and click "License Keys and Downloads". Islandora supports the self-hosted player JW Player 6 (6.12). Download the zip file and unzip it to 'sites/all/libraries'.

The Islandora JWPlayer Drupal module required for Islandora integration can be found at the Release Notes and Downloads page.
