I don't know how to play Vimeo and YouTube videos using HTML5 JW Player on iPhones, iPods, iPads and other non-Flash machines.

For example, I have a URL http://vimeo.com/43064629 (Vimeo) or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsrhJp7Dwy0 (YouTube). I want to play the above video on iPhones, iPods, iPads and non-Flash devices. Can this be done using JW Player?

We don't support Vimeo files, but YouTube should be supported.

A simple JW Player setup like this will work in Flash/HTML5 - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29236/basic-youtube-stream

JWPlayer might not support Vimeo but Vimeo supports third party players.

Just copy the provided link into your embedded video properties.

  1. Copy the link from Vimeo (click the settings button on one of your videos then click 'Video file')
  2. Embed a JW Player into your website using the copied URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeAjliRTEMI
