Video uploads and embeds can be performed directly within the Wordpress post / page editor. This custom plugin has been built by LongTail Video, the creators of the JW Player for Flash and HTML5. It provides users with an easy way to manage and embed their videos - hosted in JW Platform - and publish them to WordPress, using the JW Player. JW Platform is an online video platform, developed by the makers of JW Player, built for website owners, web developers, and video producers to upload, manage, customize and publish online video content with ease. Key Features * Fast video streaming for playback in a video player, in both HTML5 and Flash modes * Inline search field available to locate specific videos within your video library * Quick click-to-publish for a specific video that inserts it into your post/page * Top security using video signing to protect embedded video urls * Seamless integration & full support for the JW Player * Quicktags to locate custom players * Support for uploading videos using our custom widget [Sign up for a free JW Platform account!](https://www.longtailvideo.com/bits-on-the-run/sign-up/) Documentation Full documentation on installation, setup and getting started can be found on our [Support Site](http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/bits-on-the-run/).

Note: This module requires PHP5. == Installation == 0. Make sure your Wordpress install is running on PHP 5, as the plugin will not work with earlier versions. 1. Unpack the zip-file and put the resulting folder in the wp-content/plugins directory of your Wordpress install. 2. Login as Wordpress admin. 3. Go the the plugins page, the JW Platform plugin should be visible. Click "activate" to enable the plugin. 4. Click the "log in" link on the media settings page to log into your JW Platform account. Alternatively, click "sign up" to create a new account directly from Wordpress. 5. Change the settings to your liking. Don't forget to enable secure content in your JW Platform account if you want to make use of the signed links. It is also possible to enable the widget as a box inside the authoring environment, in addition to the "Add media" window. We also advise you to install the PHP cURL library (usually already installed). See http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php for more info, or ask your system administrator. == Screenshots == 1. You can start uploading and embedding videos with the new JW Platform widget that will appear in the "add media" window. If you enabled the "Show widget" setting, the widget will also appear in the side bar when you're editing a post.

Simply append a dash and the corresponding player key to video key in the quicktag. For example: [jwplatform MdkflPz7-35rdi1pO]. = Does this plugin work with caching solutions like WP-Supercache? = Yes, it does. However, you should disable the signing functionality of the plugin, since the caching might interfere with the signing timeout logic. Simply go to Settings > Media and set the BOTR signing timeout to 0. = Can I search through only my playlists? = Yes, you can. In order to do this, simply write "playlist:" (without the quotes) in front of your search query in the widget. == Changelog == = 1.3 = * Rebranding of Bits on the Run to JW Platform * Removed in-application signup. * Fixed bug with responsive player size. = 1.2 = * Added a player picker to the widget. * Changed URLs for ToS and Privacy Policy. * Fixed two small bugs in the upload overlay. = 1.1 = * Enabled resumable uploads if supported by the browser. * Various small bug fixes concerning browser compatibility. = 1.0 = * Replaced the API key / secret settings with a login form. * Added in-application signup. * Added link to the dashboard in the widget. = 0.7 = * Dropped Wordpress 2.7 compatibility. * Added the widget to the "Add media" window, making the old widget optional. * Added support for embedding playlists using the widget. = 0.6 = * Allowed for disabling of signing mechanism by setting timeout to 0. * Made timeout=0 the default. = 0.5 = * Made embedded players SSL-aware. = 0.4 = * Fixed Javascript for WP < 3.0, bind() didn't work in JQuery 1.2.6. = 0.3 = * Removed no-thumb icon. = 0.2 = * HTML-escaped player titles. * Warn when API keys are invalid. * Show wait cursor during AJAX calls. * Reset upload widgets on error. * Fixed form problem in IE. = 0.1 = * Initial release.
