JW FLV player that switches playlists on the fly

The JW FLV player is a versatile, customizable and scriptable flash video player, available from Longtailvideo.com. The player was recently upgraded, and many details in the scripting and playlists had to change to remain compatible. I’m posting examples of some of the players I’ve created lately, using the latest version of the player and SWFObject.

Versions

  • Player: JW FLV player 4.6
  • SWFObject: 2.1
  • Red5 Streaming server using RTMPT or RTMP
  • This is an example of a current-version player that changes playlists on the fly when you click a link or button.
