Using JW Player 5.x with Wowza Server

sam_ola · March 29, 2010, 8:52pm

Thanks Richard. I managed to get it working (with help from Ethan @ JW who pointed me to this link - http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/testing/?player=v5&file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.longtailvideo.com%2Fjw%2Fupload%2Fstreamers.xml&height=240&playlist=right&playlistsize=400&width=800) . At the moment its only working with IE still can not figure out how to get it working with Firefox or Chrome.

Just in case it will be useful to anyone below is the playlist.xml and .html

playlist.xml

I have tried to get this to work also and have read the whole thread. This is the code I am using for the html.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<title>JW Player for Flash</title>
	<style type="text/css">
		body { background-color: #fff; padding: 0 20px; color:#000; font: 13px/18px Arial, sans-serif; }
		a { color: #360; }
		h3 { padding-top: 20px; }
		ol { margin:5px 0 15px 16px; padding:0; list-style-type:square; }
	</style>
</head>
<body>
	<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="400" height="315">
		<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
		<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
		<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
		<param name="flashvars" value="provider=rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1935/live&file=myStream.sdp" />
		<embed
			type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
			id="player2"
			name="player2"
			src="player.swf" 
			width="400" 
			height="315"
			allowscriptaccess="always" 
			allowfullscreen="true"
			flashvars="provider=rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1935/live&file=myStream.sdp" 
		/>
	</object>
</body>
</html>

I get the player on the page. If I use the original code with “provider” at the end of “pram name” I get at least the spinning icon on the video. If I use the code that I have posted I still get the player but nothing happens when I click the arrow icon.

Once again thank you very much.

I am trying to use this code for an embedded version of the video that I streamed the other day:

<embed

type=“application/x-shockwave-flash”

id=“player2”

name=“player2”

src=“player.swf”

width=“577”

height=“448”

allowscriptaccess=“always”

allowfullscreen=“true”

flashvars=“streamer=rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1935/vod&file=mp4:wl/plewa_H264.mov&provider=rtmp”

/>

all I get is a white box. I do have the player installed in the same folder with the index.html file. This code is almost like the code used for the live streaming page but with a few parameters changed. Shouldn’t this work?
