The JW Player 5.9 release is another step in establishing the JW Player as the leader in cross-platform video playback. While JW5.9 includes numerous enhancements & bug fixes, the three most exciting features are:
- HTML5 is now the default playback mode on Android Devices
After Adobe announced that they would stop developing their Flash Player for Android devices in November 2011, we refocused our Android support on HTML5 mode. As a result, HTML5 will be the default playback mode moving forward.
- Cleaner User Interface on iOS Devices
We've taken a number of steps to clean up the way the player looks and behaves, focusing on iOS playback. Enhancements include:
- Player preview image now fades in when player loads
- Video is not displayed until it is sized correctly and ready to play
- The buffering icon appears on the iPad while video is loading
- Saved Volume in HTML5 Mode
In HTML5 mode, the player now saves the user's volume settings. When a user returns to any page on your site where the JW Player is embedded, the player will be configured with the same volume or mute state as their last visit.
Note: Not supported on iPhone/iPad due to technical limitations of iOS.
The most comprehensive feature set
of any video player on the Web
From skinning to streaming to analytics to advertising — the JW Player does it all. And now with integrated HTML5 support your videos will play on any HTML5-enabled device (hint: iPad).

Match the look-and-feel of your site
The JW Player supports a simple-to-use skinning model which works in both Flash and HTML5 playback modes. Just drop the skin on your web server and tell the player where to find it.
- Over 100 skins from the LongTail Community to choose from
- Dozens of premium skins from LongTail and our partners
- Or create your own! If you can create images you can build a skin

Adopt the video tag as your standard
HTML5 is still in its infancy, but that doesn't mean you can't start using it. Embed your content with the video tag and wire a JW Player to it. You get to choose between Flash or HTML5 as the primary playback mode and the player will automatically fall back to the other mode when needed.
Your skins and JavaScript code will work across all browsers and devices providing a consistent interactive experience for your users. |

Put video in the hands of your users
A rapidly growing number of handheld devices support either Flash or HTML5 for video playback. The JW Embedder will auto-detect which playback mode is supported by a user's device and select accordingly.
- iPhone and iPad

The JW Player™ is the most popular open source video / audio player for the Web. It supports playback of any format the Adobe Flash Player and HTML5 browsers can handle (FLV, H.264, MP4, VP8, WebM, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports various streaming and playlist formats (including RMTP, HTTP, live streaming and more) and a wide range of playback options. And its support for all of the major CDNs and adaptive bitrate switching mean you can deliver high quality content around the globe.
But don't think of it as just a player, it's an advanced video platform which you can customize, extend and contribute back to:
- The XML/PNG-based skinning model allows you to completely customize its look and feel. No need for special tools. If you can edit text and create images, then you can build a skin.
- Its plugin architecture and JavaScript API allow you to easily extend its functionality, integrate into your site, or connect to third-party services.
- The ability to create Media Providers means you can connect to your own proprietary CDN or content server.
- And last, MXMLC compilation rids you of expensive development tools if you want to dig into the guts of the player. MXMLC is free and open source. Download and compile the player in minutes.
