Configuring the JW Player for your CDN
We've worked hard to ensure that the JW FLV Player works seamlessly with the streaming services offered by most content delivery networks (CDN). Below you'll find sample configurations for some of the more popular CDNs.
If you want additional information about using flashvars, try reading our Flash embedding reference or use our player setup wizard.
