JW player5

Same question here. Was wondering if support for JW5 is available.

Was wondering if support for JW5 is available.

Not yet. I'm just getting back on to SWF Tools so will take a look at what is needed to add support. In the past it needed a new module because the syntax changes were too big so it was easier to start over.

More generally I need to take a look at what SWF Tools is trying to support. Some stuff is probably legacy now so could be retired to allow support to focus on the newer things, like JW5.

Changing status to feature request as it helps me track what new things need to be added.

I had a quick look at the JW homepage and scanned the documentation for JW5. The basic syntax looks almost unchanged. There are some deprecated features, and some new ones, but overall it will probably just work.

I quickly tried installing the JW5 player and running it via the SWF Tools JW4 module and it played back a simple audio file with no trouble.

So, in the short term, I'd suggest trying JW5 and it will probably be ok until I get round to supporting it properly.

If you try it out let me know how you get on.

Alternatively, you can grab any previous version of the player from http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/tags.

I did try with JW5 and it worked fine. Unfortunately, I'm having other issues with this module that I can't quite figure out. It gives me white screens of death (lack of memory) on certain configuration pages (see other issue I submitted #701554: Out of memory when trying to access administration settings for embedding and file handling.), or if I run update.php. So I'm still using a filefield to attach the audio or video, and then in XXX-content-type.tpl.php I just add the appropriate code needed for JWPlayer.

We have a license for jwplayer5 and there are several features we want to employ that are either missing or half-supported in SWFTools, notably SD/HD switching and html5 fallback support. In addition I can only get our rtmp streams working by using the input filter syntax, the jwplayer4 configuration and profile modules seem to be full of completely outdated variables.

I don't mind hacking away at the code, but I don't want to repeat someone else's work. Is there a maintainer for jwplayer-swftools working this?

I am using the Embedded Media Field module and would like to use the JW5 player. I believe, but am not sure that the Embedded Media Field module is defaulting to the swftools jw player.
This is the player's path: drupal/sites/all/modules/swftools/shared/flash_media_player/player-viral.swf.
So let me please know if I am incorrect, but if I want to use the JW5 player with the Embedded Media Field module I will have to update the swftools JW player manually? How would I incorporate the new additional Javascript files?
