New JW Player Features with Responsive Video

In my never ending quest to solve responsive video problems in JW Player while using S2Member…

The most recent release of JW Player now has official support for responsive videos. A new value can be passed to the player called aspectratio.

The way it gets passed from the documentation on LongTail is like so…

jwplayer("myResponsiveVideo").setup({
          file: "/assets/tearsofsteel.mp4",
          image: "/assets/tearsofsteel.jpg",
          width: "100%",
          aspectratio: "12:5"
});

At this point in time, I don’t think it’s possible to use S2Member S2Stream shortcode to pass the aspectratio parameter. Is my assumption correct?

If so, any chance we’ll see support for it soon?

Thanks for the information.

I’ll have Jason look at this.

I asked Jason about this and he said we’ll integrate this soon.
