JW Player Logo

Plays everywhere, every time.

Live on over 2 million sites with 1.3 billion unique plays per month, JW Player is the solution for seamless video playback across browsers and media types. It empowers the developer to interact with video programmatically to create unique and awesome user experiences.

Official Documentation

A Simple Example

The example below will render a video player into the div with the player id, listens to an event, and makes a few calls using the API.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src='LINK_TO_YOUR_PLAYER'></script>
    <script>jwplayer.key='YOUR_KEY';</script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="player">Loading the player...</div>
    <script>
        // Setup the player
        const player = jwplayer('player').setup({
            file: 'LINK_TO_YOUR_FILE.mp4'
        });

        // Listen to an event
        player.on('pause', (event) => {
            alert('Why did my user pause their video instead of watching it?');
        });

        // Call the API
        const bumpIt = () => {
            const vol = player.getVolume();
            player.setVolume(vol + 10);
        }
        bumpIt();
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Building the Player

We use grunt and a few npm scripts to build the player, lint code, and run tests. Debug code is built to /bin-debug, while minified & uglified code is built to /bin-release. Code is built with webpack, linted with eslint, and tested with karma, mocha and chai.

Requirements:

  • Node.js with npm
  • yarn is preferred for package management
  • Install global npm dependencies yarn global add eslint grunt-cli jsdoc karma-cli stylelint webpack webpack-cli

Steps:

  1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and set up the remotes:
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/jwplayer
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd jwplayer
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer
  1. Install the dependencies:
# Install dependencies
yarn global add eslint grunt-cli jsdoc karma-cli stylelint webpack webpack-cli
yarn install
# Optionally, install webpack-dev-server
yarn global add webpack-dev-server
  1. Build the player:
# Build once
grunt
# Complete Watch - builds JS, lints, and tests on each change
grunt serve
# Quick JS Watch - build only. Requires webpack-dev-server to be installed globally
webpack-dev-server -w --env.debug --port 8888 --output-public-path /bin-debug/
# Open the test page from another terminal window
open http://localhost:8888/test/manual/
  1. Test your code:
# All browsers
grunt test
# Individual browsers - chrome, firefox, safari
grunt karma:{BROWSER} e.g. grunt karma:chrome
  1. Lint your code:
yarn run lint
  1. Setup git pre-push hook This will add a pre-push script to the project's .git/hooks folder that will lint and run unit tests on the branch before any push.
grunt hooks

Framework Integration
