I'm running a web server on my local machine, because often I don't have access to the internet, so everything needs to be local.
Closed Captions used to be part of the player, now they're part of the Accessibility plugin, but when I'm offline, I can't use it, because it requires connecting to the longtail server.
Is there any way I can put the Accessibility plugin on my server and point the code to get the plugin there?
Thanks!

Whenever the longtail site has problems, the plugins can't load and everything slows down. I know with version 4 there was a source code patch to allow for getting a plug-in locally, what is the procedure for version 5? I'm hoping it can now be defined, rather than needed to alter the source code.
Thx,
Tac

Here's a link to the source file where the location of the plugin repository is being set.<strong>http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/trunk/fl5/src/com/longtailvideo/jwplayer/controller/PluginLoader.as</strong>Have a look at line 37

Is there a simple method for doing this (specifying a plugin on a local machine in the flashvars rather than something online)?
I want to provide captioning, but for various reasons cannot link to the hosted captions plugin. Also, I'm not savvy enough to edit .as files or compile the player from source files. I've searched this site and can't find a single cogent answer on this.
Thanks.
1) Take a timeout and learn how to search.
2) Then search for this:

The original question is about running the player offline.
Can or cannot a plugin be loaded from a local drive? How about running the plugin from a DVD where the player and the plugin and the media to be played are all in the same directory?
This doesn't work with the captions plugin:
file:///C:/Users/username/path/to/folder/captions.swf
...where the player resides in the same directory and the same path is specified to the player when setting the call to SWFObject. The video plays fine, but the captions plugin won't work.

See this thread. I think you'll see the solution you're looking for.
