Re: JW Player 7.0 upgrade

We'll take a look at whether we can upgrade to this for the next release.

We really need custom logo with JW Player 7.
I believe this is a paid only feature within jwPlayer.

Dear Adam,
Please check here

JW Player 7 supports both the addition of logo or watermark, as well as a custom text link inside of the right click menu. Each of these features is now fully supported with JW Player 7 across all versions, including free.

Note: JW Player 6 and below require a paid subscription to access these features. If you are still seeing a JW Player watermark, or cannot configure your right click or logo, you will need to update to JW Player 7.0 or higher.

Here is the configuration of above example:
Code:
var playerInstance = jwplayer("myElement");
playerInstance.setup({
	file: "/assets/myVideo.mp4",
	image: "/assets/myVideo.jpg",
	logo: {
		file: '/assets/blenderLogo.png',
		link: 'http://www.blender.org/foundation/'
	},
	abouttext: "Video Available at Blender.org",
	aboutlink: "http://www.blender.org",
	width: 640,
	height: 270
});
6 included player styles also very handy feature.
Including this functionality in your software will definetly brings Media PLayer Plugin to the next level.

+1 admin might have to choose version of JWPlayer to use.

THere is also great feature that JWP7 support multiple subtitles.
http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1407438-adding-closed-captions
VTT captions are preferred, since they are part of the HTML5 standard. JW Player supports both formats across all browsers though, in both Flash and HTML5 mode. The only exception is playback in fullscreen on iOS, since the native fullscreen mode does not allow JW Player to print captions over the video. Since the iPhone can only display video in full screen, this means that sideloaded captions will not function on this device.
AS far as I understand ANdroid devices will show subtitles in VTT standard in full screen.

Adding Preview Thumbnails

W Player supports the loading of preview thumbnails for individual shots or scenes in a video. These thumbnails are displayed in a tooltip when a viewer hovers the controlbar. This allows for quick scanning and navigating of longer-form content. Here is an example player with tooltip thumbnails:
Code:
WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
/assets/preview1.jpg

00:05.000 --> 00:10.000
/assets/preview2.jpg

00:10.000 --> 00:15.000
/assets/preview3.jpg

00:15.000 --> 00:20.000
/assets/preview4.jpg

Re: JW Player 7.0 upgrade

Jwplayer 7 support to playback mp4 media files with subtitles on android devices in FULL SCREEN. (Version 6 does not allow that. When you touch fullscreen button, subtitles dissapears and subtitles button also.

This has been added to the latest beta release of the media plugin for v4.4. It's on our demo site now and will be available as a download when v4.4 final is released.
