Downloads

The Islandora JWPlayer Drupal module integrates the JWPlayer library with the Islandora code base. You can get the module from the Release Notes and Downloads page.

The JWPlayer library that works with Islandora is JWPlayer version 6.12. This JWPlayer (ver. 6) is free for non-commercial use, but you cannot get version 6.12 directly from the jwplayer.com website anymore as they now only support version 7.x as their free version. Islandora only works with JWPlayer version 6, but This is not a problem, of course, if you already have the JPWPlayer ver. 6 library running .12 on your Islandora server this is not a problem. If that is not the case, you will have to download the source code for v. 6.12 from  from the jwplayer git repo and then build it for your environment. Also, Note that you are still also required to register for a free account on the jwplayer.com website. When you receive email confirmation that your account has been set up, you will have access on their website to a "license key" and code snippets – none of which are actually required by Islandora.

The Islandora JWPlayer Drupal module required for Islandora integration can be found at the Release Notes and Downloads page.

Alternative There is an easier alternative to JWPlayer: Islandora is also compatible with the videojs library which is easier to install for most Islandora managers. If videojs meets your needs, we recommend you use itmay suit your needs just as well as JWPlayer without the hastle.
