Plays everywhere, every time.
Live on over 2 million sites with 1.3 billion unique plays per month, JW Player is the solution for seamless video playback across browsers and media types. It empowers the developer to interact with video programmatically to create unique and awesome user experiences.
This is the non-commercial version of JW Player. It does not contain the same features as the commercial-use player available from jwplayer.com. Commercial use and access to features requires a license. Learn more at https://www.jwplayer.com/pricing/. If you are a paid customer and want a player, please download it from the "Downloads" section of your JW Dashboard.
The example below will render a video player into the div with the player id, listens to an event, and makes a few calls using the API.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src='LINK_TO_YOUR_PLAYER'></script>
<script>jwplayer.key='YOUR_KEY';</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="player">Loading the player...</div>
<script>
// Setup the player
const player = jwplayer('player').setup({
file: 'LINK_TO_YOUR_FILE.mp4'
});
// Listen to an event
player.on('pause', (event) => {
alert('Why did my user pause their video instead of watching it?');
});
// Call the API
const bumpIt = () => {
const vol = player.getVolume();
player.setVolume(vol + 10);
}
bumpIt();
</script>
</body>

We use grunt and a few npm scripts to build the player, lint code, and run tests. Debug code is built to /bin-debug, while minified & uglified code is built to /bin-release. Code is built with webpack, linted with eslint, and tested with karma, mocha and chai.
- Node.js with npm
- Install global npm dependencies
npm install -g eslint grunt-cli jsdoc karma-cli stylelint webpack webpack-cli
- Fork the project, clone your fork, and set up the remotes:

npm install
# Optionally, install webpack-dev-server
npm install -g webpack-dev-server- Build the player:
# Build once
grunt
# Complete Watch - builds JS, lints, and tests on each change
grunt serve
# Quick JS Watch - build only. Requires webpack-dev-server to be installed globally
webpack-dev-server -w --env.debug --port 8888 --output-public-path /bin-debug/
# Open the test page from another terminal window
open http://localhost:8888/test/manual/- Test your code:
# All browsers
grunt test
# Individual browsers - chrome, firefox, safari
grunt karma:{BROWSER} e.g. grunt karma:chrome- Lint your code:
