CVS edit link for LongTail Video →
The JW Player for Flash Module has been designed to enable Drupal users to deliver video content through their Drupal websites. It is meant to be the official module for embedding the JW Player and has been developed by LongTail Video, the creator of the JW Player.The development of this module is part of a greater initiative by LongTail Video. Due to the popularity of the JW Player and the fact that many users are employing CMS solutions we feel that we should improve the ease at which the JW Player can be deployed in these systems. This module is designed to simplify the use of the JW Player in Drupal for our users.
It provides support for all of the player’s configuration options, including skins, plugins and the LongTail Ad Solution. In addition, it supports a tag system that allows for dynamic customization at embed time, providing the capability of referencing external video content or node attachments created by the Upload module.
Based on our research there are currently only a small number of modules that deal with video content, and fewer still that work with the JW Player. Having investigated these modules we feel they do not leverage the full capabilities of our player. Namely they provide inadequate support for the numerous plugins available for the JW Player, and they do not directly support the LongTail Ad Solution. In addition our tagging system is much more robust and provides a lot more customization at embed time.
Our module is currently ready for a version 1 release and a list of additional features have already been outlined for subsequent releases.
As a result, we feel this module will be a valuable contribution to the Drupal community.
