Removing this plugin?

  • hello,

    After some tests we have decided to change this plugin for native Youtube videos. The problem is after plugin deactivation old videos are not working.

    Is it possible to bulk migrate old videos with shortcodes like [jwplayer mediaid=”224168″] to the real url?

    regards,

  • Hi Miguel,

    You’d need to export via the database. Somewhere in your database there is the equivalent from 224168 to i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqNLWUQW9_c for example. You could do a search and replace within the database to swap the 224168 code for the YouTube ID, i.e. VqNLWUQW9_c After that you could use Search Regex to swap [jwplayer mediaid="VqNLWUQW9_c"] for the YouTube iframe code.

    JW Player doesn’t really have a self-hosted version any more as you know. Our FV Player Pro handles both self-hosted and Vimeo and YouTube (and S3, Cloudfront, CDN, etc but that’s a different story). With FV Player, you’d be able to add a simpler shortcode regex to something like:

    [fvplayer src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4gCRuoviw0"]

    In the free version, that will get you the iframe. In the pro version, that will get you the YouTube video inside your own player.

    Cheers, Alec

    Hello @foliovision,

    Currently I’m using JW Player Pro 6 to offer youtube videos with my own player, ads, etc.

    Is it ok like that?

    Hi Miguel,

    JW Player is no longer actively maintaining their YouTube integration.

    Due to the frequency in which YouTube is making changes on their end and the advancements that we have made to our hosting and streaming platform, we are no longer actively maintaining our YouTube integration.

    It sounded to me like you were looking at how to get your existing YouTube videos back into YouTube iframe. I showed you how to do that and/or move your videos to another player which supports YouTube, depending on which solution suits you better.
