how to enter 'additional flashvars' in 'advanced settings' in jw player wordpress plugin?


hello,

what is the correct format for entering in 'additional flashvars' in the 'advanced settings' area of the jw player configuration page?

i'm referring to these flashvars:

http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/Player5FlashVars

for example, what exactly would you enter to add a watermark?

i tried:

logo.file (undefined): http://www.pathtofile.com/watermark.png

and it broke the player, reset the player's configuration and size, and brought up warning errors on front and back-end.

thank you.

Hi,

What format would I enter the required flashvars in the 'additional flashvars' box in order to use the 'Slidescroller' add-on?

Many thanks,

When I add this to the advanced tab additional flashvars:

logo.file=http://www.pathtofile.com/watermark.png

and then insert the player in a post it adds this:

[jwplayer config="Custom Player" mediaid="385"]

the jwplayer logo still shows on my videos (i have licensed version) instead of my own.

i went back into the jw player settings and noticed that when i save it changes the additional flashvars to this:

logo=\"http://www.pathtofile.com/watermark.png\" logo.link,logo.file=http://www.pathtofile.com/watermark.png

what am i doing wrong?

thanks!

I also just noticed this: On the JW Player settings page it says:

bc.. Current Player: JW Player 5.5.1641

To obtain a licensed player, please purchase a license from LongTail Video.



Is that supposed to change? I uploaded my licensed player on the license page and got the success message, but it still says this.

Awesome, thanks! I tried installing in incognito mode and it worked - seems to have fixed the flashvars problem too!

Hi,

The logo flashvar solution didn't work for me. My scenario:

Licensed 5.6 player
no JW logo
logo.file url valid
cleared cache

yet

no custom logo

Any ideas? Much appreciated!

@paranormalman – This would be in the source of your PHP. You are going to need to figure this one out on your own, we don’t know.

Old post but have a question.

I'm looking to hide the time or countdown on my WP player, is this possible to do with a flashvar?
