JWPlayer is an in-browser multimedia player made by Longtail Video. Islandora uses it to create viewers players for objects using the Audio Solution Pack and Video Solution Pack, so that they can be streamed directly inside a user's browser instead of requiring them to download it to their own computers first.

Downloads

The JWPlayer library is free for non-commercial use, but to download 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 account has been set up. 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.

Installation

The process of installing JWPlayer is broken up into the following steps:

...

only version 6.12 of that library is compatible with the Islandora JWPlayer module. Unfortunately, the website jwplayer.com no longer allows new users to register as legal users of version 6.12. The only free version they offer now is version 7.x. This is not a problem for current users of JWPlayer version 6.12. They should feel free to continue using it. Otherwise, for new implementations of video on Islandora we highly recommend using the video.js library instead. You can get information on the Islandora Video.js module from the Release Notes and Downloads page.

Configuration

Check the Audio Solution Pack and Video Solution Pack pages' configuration sections for more information on how set JWPlayer as a viewer.
