JWPlayer is an in-browser multimedia player made by Longtail Video. Islandora uses it to create viewers players for objects using the Audio Solution Pack and Video Solution Pack, so that they can be streamed directly inside a user's browser instead of requiring them to download it to their own computers first.

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 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 only support 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 the source code for v. 6.12 from the jwplayer git repo and then build it for your environment. Note that you are 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.
