Cannot get player to load
-
In an old version of WP I had the 1.7.2 JW Player working (actually just for MP3s) but in the upgrade I found I needed this version.
So I installed and activated the new jw-player-7-for-wp but I can’t figure out this:
Step 2: Add the embed code to your <body>
With the player library set up, it’s time to actually embed the video. You can insert this HTML in your page, at the exact location you want the video to appear:
<div id=”myElement”>Loading the player…</div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var playerInstance = jwplayer(“myElement”);
playerInstance.setup({
file: “https://example.com/uploads/myVideo.m4a”,
width: 640,
height: 40
});
</script>in “file” I subbed in the url for a MP3 in my librry.
Nothing happens except “Loading the player” appears. I’m obviously missing something.see here: https://www.narayandance.org/jwplayer/
JWPlayer’s Settings may be the problem:
first setting is: Add the url of the file jwplayer.js.I had to go to Bluehost (my hosting service) and use their File Manager to find the location:
public_html/wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player/
is this the correct jwplayer (the subfolder sounds like the old one!)
I put https://www.narayandance.org/ in front of that for the full URL where jwplayer.js is. Like so:https://www.narayandance.org/public_html/wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player/
Is this correct? If so what is my problem?? Maybe I have to sub something in for “myElement” ?
I’m sorry I’m quite a newbie.
Many thanks to whoever can help me!
