s2Member and JWPlayer version 7

  • I note that there is a new version of JWPlayer out there, version 7. I am contemplating using this in one of my s2memberPro sites in order to take advantage of the integration between the two of them and Cloudfront, etc.

    I can’t find any reference to version 7 in connection with s2member so can I conclude that it will work in the same way as described for version 6 in the Pro plugin’s documentation ?

    Thanks.

  • I’ve been searching the internet up and down, and now am glad to discover your question. I have the same question!
    Do you know an answer meanwhile? Have you tried using jwplayer 7 with s2member?

    Hi CoolDavidoff – apologies for not picking up on your question earlier, I have been busy on other projects and am only just returning to this question.

    Yes, I have tried it, but as far as I can tell, the version 6 shortcodes do not work with the version 7 software. As an example …
    [s2Stream player="jwplayer-v6-rtmp" player_path="/jwp7/jwplayer.js" file_download="video.mp4" playerkey="MyJW7licensekey" /]
    This fails with a message about invalid license key, so even though I point to my JWP7 software with a valid key, s2 seems to assume it’s v6 because of the shortcode.

    Next, I thought that I would try a different s2stream short code using jwplayer-v7-rtmp – maybe it’s an undocumented feature ?? … err, no ??

    Them I tried the sample code in the Pro doc for RTMP + fallback code, substituting JW7 path & key. As with JW6, trying this on Chrome (Flash enabled) gives “Error loading Stream: ID not found on server”. On Firefox without Flash plugin we get “Error loading media: file could not be played”,

    At that point, I realised that I should really have used the s2member support centre to pursue this problem. They suggested that those problems were down to Cloudfront distributions not propagating properly and that I should reset these via s2member and try the whole set up again. I have done this but still have the same problems. It was at this point that I had to temporarily stop working on this project. Now that I am back on the case (at least for a short while), I will go back to them on that and see if I can get any further.

    Because I am sure that many people would love to be using the latest version of JWPlayer, it would be really great to have this update. My particular interest is getting this to work with RTMP as the primary delivery option with HTML5 fall back. So I suggest that you (and anybody else in this category) register your interest in this feature with s2 via their support center and then maybe we can get it as part of the product itself ??

    Let me know how it goes or if you have cracked it somehow else – I will do the same. Once again, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. All the best …

    No worries, thanks for your kind reply! Good, I too am interested in RTMP streaming inside s2member via s3 w/ cloudfront. I will remind Jason/s2m on the ticket, so we hopefully get a solution in their next release?

    They frequently have new releases…
