Third Party Player Integration

To integrate a third party player with vzaar you need to use specific urls using your vzaar video unique ID number. When you upload a video to vzaar we will create a unique ID number for each video. This can be found in the URL field of your browser for example: http://vzaar.com/videos/123456

To access the assets for this video construct the url using the following scheme:

view.vzaar.com/{ID number}/{ASSET}

Flowplayer Integration

With these assets you can add them to your Flowplayer. Please ensure you set your video to 'forced progressive download' via the global settings page, under the management tab, as unfortunately RTMPe is not compatible with Flowplayer.

Long Tail Video Integration (JW Player)

You can also use the JW Player from LongTail Video using the sample code below

    <body>
        <h1>vzaar JW Player Sample Code</h1>
        <div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>
    
        <script type="text/javascript">
            jwplayer("container").setup({
                autostart: true,
                type: "video",
                controlbar: "none",
                file: "http://view.vzaar.com/918833/video",
                duration: 57,
                flashplayer: "player.swf", 
                volume: 80,
                width: 540
            });

        </script>

    </body>
    </html>

You can also use the vzaar podcast feature to supply JW Player’s playlist feature. Here is an example

        <script type='text/javascript'>
            var s1 = new SWFObject('player.swf','ply','782','446','9','#ffffff');
            s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
            s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
            s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
            s1.addVariable('playlistfile','http://vzaar.com/users/vzaar_showcase/podcast.rss');
            s1.addVariable('playlist','right');
            s1.write('SampleVid');
        </script>
