Plug-Ins for the JW Player
|
The JW Player is available from LongTail Video. I have written some plug-ins for the player on behalf of clients. Complete implementation instructions and examples of the plug-ins can be found here.

A client was looking for some security measures for the video portion of his website. His video section is available by paid membership only. Each video in the videos section may only be viewed twice per membership. He wanted to prevent users from watching a video, pushing the scroll-bar back to the beginning repeatedly to watch again (or, in his words, 'to call their co-workers in to the office one-at-a-time to show them the video'). He wanted to allow them the opportunity to re-watch portions of the video once or twice (if they missed something or needed a better understanding of that part, for example), but did not want them to be able to watch the entire video over-and-over. The TimeLimiter plug-in is the result of that need.

The new logomover plug-in for the JW-Player repositions the logo (an existing optional feature of the Player) to a random location on the screen at random intervals between twenty and fifty seconds (20-50 sec). You can also customize the minimum and maximum times of the time-span using flashVars. The logo only moves if the video is playing. It does not move while paused or stopped, and the timer is reset when you start playing again.
