JW FLV Media Player - Website Media Player With Plugin Support

Jeroen Wijering’s JW FLV Player is one of the most versatile website media players available. You can easily embed it into your website to display any media format supported by the Adobe Flash Player. Now at version 4, the JW FLV Player has been in active development for many years and has an active forum & user community.

One of the biggest drawbacks of most website media players is the lack of support for content management systems, blogging platforms and other 3rd party applications. This is where the JW FLV Player shines with multiple plugins available to easily use the player in your Wordpress blog, Drupal/Joomla website and many more applications.

Below is a demo of the player using it’s default skins. I was able to embed this player into the post using only one line of code!

Features

Works with FLV, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF
Supports RTMP and HTTP (Lighttpd) streaming, RSS, XSPF and ASX playlists
Version 4 has fully skinning support and a skin library
Uses FlashVars for configuration
JavaScript API for interactivity with your website applications

Plugins available for easy integration with a wide variety of CMS, blog, and other systems.

The JW FLV Player is a free download for non-commericial use (Creative Commons license) and commercial licenses are available starting from 20 euros.

WebVideoTechniques is a big fan of the JW FLV Player and we use it for all of the videos on this website. We like it so much that we have given it a full 5 Star rating.
