Plays everywhere, every time.

JW Player is -the- open source solution for making video playback seamless across browsers and file types. It empowers the developer to interact with video programmatically to create unique and awesome user experiences.

Code Examples

Documentation and Support

Example

The example below will find the element with an id of my_video and render a video player into it.

    // Create a jwplayer instance
    jwplayer('my_video').setup({
        file: '/uploads/example.mp4',
    });

    // Add a custom callback for when user pauses playback
    jwplayer('my_video').on('pause', function(event) {
        alert('Why did my user pause their video instead of watching it?');
    });

Other callbacks that we provide include

• play / complete
• seek / pause
• volume / mute
• and more

You also have the power to programatically set any configuration within the player.

    function bumpIt() {
    	var vol = player.get('volume');
        player.set('volume', vol + 10 );
    }
