I’m afraid that configuring the fallback in the plugin is rather complicated, as you will need to use the shortcode functionality, and cannot use the video manager.
An example shortcode would look like this:
[jwplayer image=”http://content.bitsontherun.com/thumbs/Fqfj2vsZ-480.jpg” sources=”{ file: ‘http://content.bitsontherun.com/manifests/Fqfj2vsZ.m3u8′},{ file:’http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/Fqfj2vsZ-480.mp4’}”]
The opening curly braces { of the sources always need to be followed by a space in order for the shortcode to work.
Hi,
Thanks for answering. I still don’t understand the whole syntax of the shortcode.
For example, what does this parameter define?
file: ‘http://content.bitsontherun.com/manifests/Fqfj2vsZ.m3u8’
and how can I choose which player to embed (I usually make several custom players for each widthxheight combination that I use)?
Thanks, that latest shortcode really works!
I suggest you put it somewhere in the user manual/readme files.
hi admin,
how do you add playlist with multiple supportive format for live streaming?
thanks
Right now the multi format support is possible only via a single item. Like the shortcode above.
That should work, but you need to add the titles into the sources block for each item.
Ironically you didn’t even answer the question, I have since then tried enough combinations that i got it working already (without titles albeit).
So for the next person who may come along needing the same code:
[jwplayer player=”firstplayer” image=”http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/videos/example1.jpg” sources=”{ file: ‘http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/videos/example1.mp4’, label: ‘SD’ },{ file:’http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/videos/example1.mp4′, label: ‘HD’ }”]
It should be title, not label.
I already have it working with the code above. I’m not trying to put a title alongside the play button, I was trying to give a label to what the different video file qualities are.. when you click on HD (the text that shows for each video quality.
What I have above is working as of right now.
That should work, can I see where this is running?
@LongTail Video – I was looking in the wordpress plugins section and found this plugin to use for displaying video. I didnt see anywhere in the documentation about what the shortcode might be.
Is there a page with full documentation on the shortcode?
Otherwise, looks to be a great plugin, it just needs clearer directions.
