JW Player 5.4 seems to provide greater support for both Flash and HTML5. It would be great if this worked from within Drupal. It provides a very simple solution for embedding MP4 video into posts while still supporting the Long Tail plugins. I'm not sure if this requires cooperation from LongTail but I have quite a few sites that would like to use it (license it). Haven't see any changes since April, pre-dating both 5.3 and 5.4.

JW Player commented@VidiChannel,
This is our official module. We do plan to update it and in fact I will be making an effort to squeeze in the update before the end of the year. The module has been somewhat neglected, but we're not very big and there's been tons of other development going on with various other projects (including the JW Player).
Just hang on a little bit longer and you should have updated player support very soon. :)

vidichannel commentedThanks for the post LongTail and the possibility of a valued Christmas present (not that my new paisley tie won't look just fabulous under the tree). Please take it as a compliment to the great work you are doing. IMHO, integration between JW Player 5.4 and Drupal has a chance to take one-source, simple video publishing to the next level. Very exciting.

ericpai commentedExcellent work with the module. Thank you.
I just purchased a license and it would be nice to have a logo upload field in the player settings as well as logo positioning, timing, etc.. . I hope to see it in the upcoming version. As for now, I'll just add a logo file upload in the node and add options for it and in my node template, I'll add the flash vars.
For us it's nice to have a different logo for each player so that we can have sponsors there for our video playlists.
In the next version, will we be able to set up the player like this?
thank you.

JW Player commentedFirst apologies for no update before the end of the year. We're stretched a bit thin at the moment and will try to get to it as soon as possible.
@ericpai,
That's a good suggestion. We're working on a roadmap for this module for the upcoming year and I will make a note of this.
Thanks.

isaachorton commentedend of the year? We're still waiting on this much needed update, although im finding my own way around the issue. JWplayer still rules! Let us know if you need some help updating the module. I can beta test or whatever you need.

syntheticMedia commentedCurious about your work arounds, I need to implement something for my client soon. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
Comment #11
JW Player commentedAgain I apologize for the delay. We've been having issues with available resources which should be resolved next month. I'll be starting on the HTML5 update followed by a Drupal 7 update.
Thanks.

btopro commented5.5's out, just changing this to the latest version. Investigated RTMP fallback to http streaming which appears to be supported in 5.5 (along with HTML5 and all the other bells and whistles). Very excited by the prospect of rolling this into a media server Drupal distribution that I've been working on. I can release with things as they currently are but I don't think it would be as effective as being able to push 5.5 w/ HTML5 support native

JW Player commentedJust an update. I've started development on the next version of the module with support for JW Player 5.6 and HTML5 among other improvements. We should be releasing it soon.

FergalMohan commentedLooks like you already committed the new version on May 11 (support for HTML5 according to the Notes). Could you please clarify is that Work done or is it Work in Progress?
Comment #18
JW Player commented@FegalMohan,
The 1.3 version of the module includes HTML5 support.
Thanks.
