reponsive playlist feature?

Dear JW Platform fans,

We like the JW platform and its features but one feature we are heavily missing: responsive playlists.

The JW player itself is working fine with the responsive setting but when enabling playlists at the right or bottom it is not responsive anymore and it looks this is not supported yet http://apidocs.jwplayer.com/methods/players/show.html

We tweaked around with settings and embedded it even as iframe with a reponsive container around it following this guide but it does not fully work.

Is this feature dynamic playlist on the roadmap?
In the meantime any working tweaks from anybody here?

Best regards
Alex

Perhaps the easiest way to make a responsive playlist listbar is to dynamically generate one using custom CSS when the player loads. Please see qa.jwplayer.com/~todd/playlist-custom-listbar.html for more details.

Thanks Todd, your example does not look responsive to me with pixel based width and height.

Anyways this is custom is there something standard on the JW platform like allowing percentage based playlists together with the responsive player?

I have not made my example responsive, but that is a simple change in the CSS. Just set the width of the listbar_item class to 100%. I made an updated example for you at http://qa.jwplayer.com/~todd/playlist-custom-listbar-responsive.html

Please note that you will also need to make the player responsive as well, as documented on the page you already referenced.

Thanks Todd, your latest example rocks :-)

Is a responsive playlist feature on the roadmap for JW platform customers?

This is not on the roadmap as far as I know.

JW Platform customers that want to implement a response playlist would need to include the custom <div> on the page and the Javascript to create the playlist in an onReady() function on their web page after the single-line embed.
