How to play YouTube and vimeo video in html5 jw player

Question

I don’t know how to play Vimeo and YouTube videos using HTML5 JW Player on iPhone, iPod, iPads and other non-Flash machines.

For example, I have a URL http://vimeo.com/43064629 (Vimeo) or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsrhJp7Dwy0 (YouTube). I want to play the above video on iPhone, iPod, iPads and non-Flash devices. Can this be done using JW Player?

Answer 1

We do not support Vimeo files, but YouTube must be supported.

A simple JW Player setup like this one will work in Flash / HTML5 - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29236/basic-youtube-stream

Answer 2

JWPlayer may not support Vimeo, but Vimeo supports third-party players.

Just copy the provided link into your built-in video properties.

• Copy the link from Vimeo (click the settings button on one of your videos, then click "Video file")
• Paste the JW Player into your website using the copied URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeAjliRTEMI
