JW Player is a JavaScript-based HTML5 video player library for embedding and programmatically controlling video playback on websites. This repository hosts the non-commercial version and is explicitly no longer maintained.
Use cases
- embed a video player on a website
- control video playback programmatically via JavaScript API
- play video across browsers and media types
- listen to video player events like pause
- customize video player configuration
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested video player for a legacy project already using JW Player
- you want a non-commercial HTML5 player with a rich JavaScript API
When to avoid
- starting a new project, since the repo is no longer maintained
- you need commercial features or a licensed player
- you want an actively maintained open-source alternative like Video.js or Plyr
