Change BOTR Video using JavaScript

Hi,

I plan to use the JW Player Platform (Bits on the Run) embed code to deliver videos in an app.

One thing thats not mentioned in the documentation is the recommended way to change a video. Do I have to manually remove the old player and inititalize a new one by inserting an altered embed code? Or is there a more elegant yet undocumented API-way in doing this?

Ive only found a rather old forum thread for this topic: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/bits-on-the-run/system-api/18920/using-javascript-to-load-botr-videos/

Any ideas?


Thanks,
Ren

Ok, thanks.

Heres a working code snippet for future reference:

bc.. jwplayer().load("http://content.bitsontherun.com/jwp/KEY.xml");



(KEY is the video key as showed beside the video in the dashboard)
