Emmedding my "Bits on the Run" videos like YouTube videos

4 replies [Last post]

Is it possible to embed my "Bits on the Run" videos (e.g., FLV) using my own JWPlayer the same as I embed YouTube videos, so I can have full control over my scripts and player?
The only link I have is:
http://content.bitsontherun.com/players/KGbdoKsG-IiJSv2UK.js
and, of course, the video_key
In the example below, what is the link format to replace YouTube file link?

function createPlayer() {
var flashvars = {
file:"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl7mMYN7w8c",
controlbar:"bottom",
playlist:"none" ,
image:"slide1.jpg",
skin:"../files/whotube.zip",
..............................

In the video details of each video you will find the transcodes tab. There you can find the URLs of each conversion. Also, our URL scheme might be useful for a broader understanding: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/botr/system-api/urls/videos.html

Please note that when you load the video files into your own player you will lose bitrate switching, seeking and analytics.

Thank you remco for reply,
I it works, but loosing seeking is a BIG problem to me!
Would you please have a quick look at this sample page and advise on how can I integrate your embedded player and at the same time keep my Javascript seeking functions using external links?

The jwplayer() API works with Bits on the Run JavaScript embeds fine, so as long as you use the JavaScript embeds (the default) jwplayer().seek(30) (for example) will work just the same.
