How to dynamically load a plugin.

Hello,

i'm trying to dynamically load a plugin. Is this possible? I'm trying to add the syntax for loading the plugin in a javascript variable but the quotes always break it. Even when trying to escape them or mixing double quotes and single quotes.

What i'm trying:

- On page load do a check for a value
- If value is set variable add plugin syntax otherwise keep variable empty
- on document ready load jwplayer (with jw embedder) with the variable under plugin call.

Hope this is clear. It is difficult to show a working page because the development environment is IP-restricted and not to be posted on non-restricted webpages. If more info is needed please tell.

Kind regards,

Son

Can you show me where you tried this and it broke?

var duration = 3100;
var commercial = "";
function star(){
  if (duration > 3000){
    commercial  = ","
    commercial  += "http://lp.longtailvideo.com/5/googima/googima.js/': {";
    commercial  += "'ad': {";
    commercial  += "'first_ad': {";
    commercial  += "'tag': 'http://ad.doubleclick.net/darttag;sz=320x240;tile=1',";
    commercial  += "'type': 'video',";
    commercial  += "'position': 'pre'";
    commercial  += "},"; 
    commercial  += "},";
    commercial  += "'admessagedynamic': 'This ad will close in _countdown_ seconds',";
    commercial  += "'admessagedynamickey': '_countdown_'";                     
    commercial  += "}";
  }
}

And then trying to implement player like this:

$(document).ready( function() {
        jwplayer('videoplayer').setup({
            'id': 'player',
            'width': '480',
            'height': '270',        
            'skin': 'skins/son2/son2.zip',
            'repeat': 'none',
            'debug': 'console',
            'playlistfile': onDemandFile,
            // 'image': 'http://example.com/thumbs/sintel.jpg',
            'plugins': {
              /* 'qualitymonitor-2':{}, */
              'related-1': {
                'file': 'xml/related.xml',
                'onclick': 'play',
                'heading': "Related videos",
                'usedock': "true"
              },
              './plugins/sonstats.swf': { }
              commercial
            },
            'modes': [
                {type: 'flash', src: 'swf/player.swf', wmode: 'opaque', allowfullscreen: 'true', allowscriptaccess: 'always', autostart: 'true', controlbar: 'over', bufferlength: '5',/* 'playlistfile': onDemandFile */},
                {
                  type: 'html5',
                  config: {
                   'file': onDemandMP4,     
                   'provider': 'video'
                  }
                },                                
                {
                  type: 'download', 
                  config: {
                    'file': onDemandMP4
                  }
                }
            ]           
          });
      });

Hi Ethan,

thanks for your helped but I solved it already. For me the solution was to do a check for the duration of te clip and if that was longer than value x, I load a different jwplayer setup config with the googima plugin.
