Amazon Cloudfront and JW Player Plugin

I’ve gotten S2 member configured correctly to stream a video from my cloudfront account on the home page of my site here:
http://susanleinendesign.com when logged in (tester test)
Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the short code or the media player to work to add streaming videos from my Cloudfront account on this page:
http://susanleinendesign.com/my-player-page/
The top player is configured with the shortcode and the bottom player is configured using the media player.
Here is my code:
[jwplayer config=”new-player” streamer=”rtmp://ssxly5k2gv9dh.cloudfront.net/cfx/st” file=”video.mp4″ id=”E3TI8WVNT05GNM” image=”http://susanleinendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WALLY-SWING.jpg”
[jwplayer config=”new-player” mediaid=”284″]

What am I doing wrong?
thanks,

Hello Susan,

s2Member needs to generate signed urls for videos links in order for it to work with cloudfront and for cloudfront to grant access to the file.

When using the JW plugin the signed urls don’t get created so it won’t work.

That plugin only works if using only the s3 configured because the signed url is not required.

I have created a plugin for use in conjunction with s3 and cloudfront, you can find the latest version here there are no reported problems. Let me know if you need any help :)

Philly,
THANKS SO MUCH!! This plugin is working great!
Two questions:
– Can I disable the “sharing” at the end of the video?
– Can I add the requirement for membership?

thanks,
Susan

Hi Susan,

When you download the player files from longtail you have to ‘uncheck’ a tick box about the sharing bit, for some reason they started adding by default.

What do you mean when you say the requirement for membership?

Do you mean protecting the video from non-members? If so just omit the downloadkey=”true”.

Thanks,
Philly

Thanks, Philly,
I reloaded the player without the “viral”
In the playlist short code, can I have some videos that are downloadkey=”true” and some “false” ? (I tried this and it didn’t work – my short code below:)

Also, is it possible to add a scrollbar to the playlist as has too many videos to fit in the space?

Hi Susan,

The scroll bar is there its just not visible because your player is set to width=”980″ but your page content area is 965.

If you set download key to true on it will grant access to all files in the list and you cant override that on an individual basis.

What is it your trying to achieve?

Thanks for the tip on the page size.
What I’d like to be able to do is have some free and some member-only videos in the same list or at least available on the same page.
See http://revolutiongolf.com
Can the player have that “tabbed” playlist look?

I really appreciate your help!!!!

Yes you just need to download a ‘skin’ http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/skins

Then in shorcode

skin="http://locationofskin.com"

What I’d like to be able to do is have some free and some member-only videos in the same list or at least available on the same page.

Well I guess the best way would be to have one playlist for free and use downloadkey=”true” if the free videos are stored in a protected bucket.

And then have a second playlist with free and paid videos in it, but just omit the downloadkey=”” part altogether.

That way anyone can see the free stuff, but only members can view the premium stuff. Just remember to put the premium playlist in an area of your website that can only be accessed if you’ve paid or users will get confused.
