Update to API7


Hi,
I have realised when loading my video from the script embed code that it is using the API 6 version. Is there a way to auto update it in order to use the API 7 version?

Thanks
Jerome

Hello Jerome,

Some of the player code might pull analytic data that might resonate from JW6 code but can you provide me an example link?

Hi Randy,

Yes of course, this is one of the script that i am using and which make use of the API V6.
<script src="//content.jwplatform.com/players/BiFMEaPF-beiKudll.js"></script>

The above works fine but it is still under API V6.

Thanks

just wanted to add:
The above works fine, however when i use the API V7 then it does not go well as certain function arent available due to having API V6 and API V7 loaded on the page.

<script src="jwplayer-7.3.6/jwplayer.js"></script>
<script>
jwplayer.key="API kEY";
</script>

Hello Jerome,

I see that you are using the version 6 release of our player which might not work with the v7 API. Your best best might simply be to upgrade to the 7 player if you require that API I am afraid.

Hi Randy,

How do i upgrade to V7. I have uploaded a video and it seems like by default it only uses the V6.
Could you point me to the correct location or documentation?

Thank you
Jerome

Hello Jerome,

You would simply need to navigate to navigate to your JW Player Account dashboard and utilize the 7 player when creating a new player. The interface will provide you with new code that will use our latest library. The following article may he a of use as well: https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/2037989-migrating-from-jw6-to-jw7
