The Islandora JWPlayer module integrates the JWPlayer library with the Islandora code base. You can get the Islandora JWPlayer module from the Release Notes and Downloads page.The JWPlayer library that works with the Islandora JWPlayer module is JWPlayer version 6.12. This library is free for non-commercial use, but you cannot get only version 6.12 directly from the of that library is compatible with the Islandora JWPlayer module. Unfortunately, the website jwplayer.com website anymore as they now support only no longer allows new users to register as legal users of version 6.12. The only free version they offer now is version 7.x as their free version. This is not a problem , of course, if you already have the JPWPlayer ver. for current users of JWPlayer version 6.12 on your Islandora server. If that is not the case, you will have to download  version 6.12 from the jwplayer git repo. The download will uncompress to source code that you will have to then build for your server environment. Note that you are also required to register as a user of the free library 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.

There is an easier alternative to JWPlayer: Islandora is also compatible with the video.js library which may suit your needs just as well as JWPlayer without the hassel (Islandora Video.js module).
