| 2 | ========================== |

| 3 | |

| 4 | Thanks for downloading the beta release of our JW Player for HTML5! This player fully skinnable and configurable and based on the new <video> tag found in HTML5. It is built using javascript (jQuery) and includes a seamless fallback to the popular JW Player for Flash. |

| 6 | Currently, the HTML5 player is in beta. Certain functionalities that we consider essential are missing in this beta version, but will be included in the 1.0 release. We very much value your feedback (both bug reports and feature suggestions), so please let us know! |

| 23 | Getting started |
|---|
| 24 | --------------- |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | To quickly get started, upload the contents of this ZIP to your webserver. Include the two javascripts in the <head> of your page(s). For example: |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.js"></script> |
|---|
| 29 | <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.jwplayer.js"></script> |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | Second, place this code where you want the video to appear, replacing the "poster" and "src" attributes with your own poster image and video: |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | <video height="270" id="player" poster="/files/bunny.jpg" src="/files/bunny.mp4" width="480"> |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | <script type="text/javascript"> |
|---|
| 36 | $('#player').jwplayer({ |
|---|
| 37 | flashplayer:'files/player.swf', |
|---|
| 38 | skin:'files/five.xml' |
|---|
| 39 | }); |
|---|
| 40 | </script> |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | Make sure that all references (the two javascript files, your image and video, the player.swf and all files in the skin) are correct! |
