Description (last modified by pablo) (diff)
An easy way to change the default config (e.g. setting a skin by default, or setting the default dimensions to 320x180) will be great for users that want to setup the player style/behavior once and next only care about video/poster URLs.
A simple implementation would be to declare a jwplayer.defaults object and merge it into any jwplayer().setup() calls if it's defined. Declaring defaults would then look like this:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer.defaults = {
width: 800,
height: 400,
skin: "stormtrooper",
listbar: {
size: 200,
layout: "simple"
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="player"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("player").setup({
file: "video.mp4",
listbar: {}
});
</script>
</body>

We should wait until HTML5 is the primary rendering mode to push the quick embed method

This is also useful around e.g. the player key. Some options are:
- Insert in jwplayer.js, clearly marking the area
- Insert as javascript object (e.g. right below player script tag)
- Insert with a JSONP mechanism, loaded from server

This is quite a nice feature. It will also make our "Video Tag Embed" support guide more interesting.
It's basically nice for people that do progressive enhancement of video tags.
