Audio Description with a Playlist

Here is a setup of the audiodescription plugin in combination with an XML playlist:

 

The playlist

As you can see, the audidescription file is not defined in the embed code. Instead, it is defined in the playlist, separately for each entry:

 <rss version="2.0" xmlns:jwplayer="http://developer.longtailvideo.com/">
  <channel>
    <title>Example RSS playlist with audiodescriptions</title>

    <item>
      <title>Coronation Street</title>
      <description>This entry contains an audiodescription</description>
      <jwplayer:file>/videos/7OCSON1y-393434.flv</jwplayer:file>
      <jwplayer:image>/thumbs/7OCSON1y-480.jpg</jwplayer:image>
      <jwplayer:audiodescription.file>/videos/iWeFNNeM-393434.mp3</jwplayer:audiodescription.file>
    </item>

    <item>
      <title>Sintel Trailer</title>
      <description>This entry does not have an audiodescription.</description>
      <jwplayer:file>/videos/3XnJSIm4-364766.mp4</jwplayer:file>
      <jwplayer:image>/thumbs/3XnJSIm4-480.jpg</jwplayer:image>
    </item>

    <item>
      <title>NS Accessibility</title>
      <description>This entry contains an audiodescription</description>
      <jwplayer:file>/videos/AKIUnF9G-364765.mp4</jwplayer:file>
      <jwplayer:image>/thumbs/AKIUnF9G-480.jpg</jwplayer:image>
      <jwplayer:audiodescription.file>/videos/RCJfkBlp-393434.mp3</jwplayer:audiodescription.file>
    </item>

  </channel>
</rss>

The playlist is in RSS format and uses the jwplayer: extension to display the audiodescription options.
