Hi.
I have a 120 minutes video I need to divide into chapters.
Normally I would just do this with a playlist, but this time a need to make it work in HTML5.
I tried wihh the time command - works in Flash - not in HTML5
I tried with pseudostreaming - works in Flash - not in HTML5
Is their any way to make this work? Either with javascript or some sort of time command that HTML5 supports.
Any example?
You can do this with a JSON playlist and it should work in both.

Thanks Ethan.
I tried with json and the "start" command but on ipad/iphone it plays from the beginning no matter what I write. Do you know if it shold work on these devices?
If not, do you have any other solution to make it jump to a specific timecode in the video and play from there. On ipad, if I click on the players timeline I can jump to every place in the video, without waiting for the video to buffer, so it sems to use some sort of pseudostreaming even on the ipad.
In the forum a read about some who used javascripts to jump in the video.
Could this be a solution - any working examples.
This is because iOS does not support streaming. Well, HTML5 doesn’t support it…
Hmm. That's a problem.
Let's say that we are playing on a fast connection, and the HTML5 player quickly buffers the whole video. (from a normal HTTP server)
Will it then be possible to send some sort of command to the player, to change the current playingposition.
Using JS – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12540/javascript-api-reference
do you have demo that works in html5 and flash?
(you guys do not clarify your demos causing alot of confusion)
@bob
I have on my web site a video concert page which contains several video concert which are broken down to chapter.
You can either watch the whole concert or chapters.
www.mirana.net in the multimedia video section
great website you have there
http://www.mirana.net/concert
works in browser....functions confusing and some videos dont work on ipad...would need to be developed more to work on iOS / mobile
also hard to test fluidity of playback with video size expansion/contraction on every playback and stop
just a suggestion, if you want this to work on ipad
1) grab an ipad mockup and size video area to fit it or make the whole stage (video area and chapters list) fluid
2) check into trying out - http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4
3) dont have auto expand / make it user controlled
that said, the example you have is better than i have seen anywhere else, meaning you are loading separate programs and also loading chapters...kind of a 2 tiered playlist...really cool
@bob – our API is universal and should work with both Flash / HTML5.

This should work the same in both.
It is all done via one JSON playlist and I use the JWPlayer API
@Ethan: the video in your example doesn't work. An error is thrown.
Works for me?
works here too
Sorry, I didn't provide enough information. It works with the flash player, but doesn't work in a flashless environment (i.e. Safari on the Mac and on iOS).
I now took the steps to follow the provided demo and it works in a flashless environment: http://pheraph.net/podlove/jw-player o/
The demo from above still doesn't work.
Glad you got it working. Which demo?
That one: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/17248/providing-video-chapter-markers
This is how it looks like with no flash installed in MacOS Safari: http://cl.ly/FYyi
Thanks, I will pass that information along.
Would it be possible to provide an example with chapters that works both on webbrowsers PC/Mac and on iOS devices.

The link above only works on PC/Mac and NOT on iOS (iPhone/iPad).
That works on my iPad…
