Hey guys,

I am starting a music sharing site for local artists. People will be uploading there mp3's on the site and the music will be shown with the JW Player, they will be using the player to embed it on other pages of the site and there site. Do I need a pro license for this ? If so why ?

My second question is that why is it that if I embed 4 or 5 JW flv players v.5 on a page and start scrolling down the page goes down all choppy. It just dramatically slows down the website, this doesn't happened with version 3. Is there anyway to get version 3 ?

Regarding the issue, can you provide a link?

Regarding the license, are there ads on the site?

Do you earn anything from the site?

@John -

The difference in performance may have to do with the ActionScript 2 engine (which JW version 3.x used) versus ActionScript 3, which versions 4 and 5 were written in.

Version 3.x was also a much simpler application; the player has added a lot more functionality since then (skinning, plugins, RTMP streaming, etc.).

If you're embedding multiple players, you may want to embed the player only when the user clicks on a particular item. You can do this by attaching your embed code to an image's click handler.
