jwplayer 6. Lightbox

Hello,

I've seen a few older posts (and one locked post) about this, but the answers don't seem clear to me. (I'm somewhat of a newb) I want to launch a lightbox with jwplayer when a user clicks on an image link. There will be multiple images, each with a url for a CDN hosted video.

Is this possible? I looked at lightbox solutions that simply load an iframe... i'd rather not create a ton of iframe pages to load into a lightbox. I wouldn't mind one, if i could pass in a video url.

Thanks so much!

I have two examples in using the JWBOX one for audio and video that may be a possible solution for you.

*NOTE:* JWPlayer deprecated the JWBOX sometime ago and does not support it.
With some modification(changes) in the code I made it work for the JWPlayer 6+.

visit my web site.

for the audio example: www.starbase-alpha.com/betaA.html
for the video example: www.tsarbase-alpha.com/betaL.html

OR from the JWP6.8 example section on the web site.

each of the above will display thumbnails which when clicked will have the JWBOX play your selection...in the case of the video example you will be able to view the video in fullscreen.

If you have any question(s) then contact me from off the web site.

Wow thanks, any chance you have a simplified example? I'm trying to deconstruct the page. And i'm getting a little lost.
