Luisrosario, NO not cloudfront in the shortcode config, but the URL points straight to the s2member file directory: (ex. http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/video.mp4) even though Amazon & Cloudfront is where the videos are stored. Since it is set up that way through the s2member settings, anything pointing to the s2member-files directory points to the Amazon bucket….I believe that is how it works.

Philly, yes it would be very nice if s2member had a shortcode.

Thanks for the quick response.

I am wondering the benefits of using the example code provided by S2member Download Options (JW Player® ( RTMP streaming MP4, via s2Member’s Amazon® S3/CloudFront integration) VERSUS the JW shortcode that comes with the JWPlayer WordPress plugn. Both work, but JW Player has more control of the player & is much easier for my client to add themselves of course. Both of the codes I use are below.

<?php
// Configuration.
$s2_jw_config["jwplayer"] = "/wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player/"; // Relative URL path to JW Player files directory.
$s2_jw_config["mp4_video_file_name"] = "video.mp4"; // Name of your MP4 test file.
// Don't edit anything else below unless you know what you're doing.
?>

<div id="jw-container">JW Player® appears here.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $s2_jw_config["jwplayer"]; ?>jwplayer.js"></script>

<?php /* A direct URL to the RTMP source; counting the file against the current User in real-time. */
$cfg = array ("file_download" => $s2_jw_config["mp4_video_file_name"], "url_to_storage_source" => true, "count_against_user" => true); ?>

<?php /* API Function `s2member_file_download_url()` returns false if access is denied to the current User. */
if (($mp4 = s2member_file_download_url ($cfg, "get-streamer-array"))) { ?>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        jwplayer("jw-container").setup({modes: /* JW Player®. */
        [
            /* First try real-time streaming with Flash® player. */
            {type: "flash", provider: "rtmp", src: "<?php echo $s2_jw_config["jwplayer"]; ?>player.swf",
                config: {streamer: "<?php echo $mp4["streamer"]; ?>", file: "<?php echo $mp4["file"]; ?>"}},
        
            /* Else, try an HTML5 video tag. */
            {type: "html5", provider: "video",
                config: {file: "<?php echo $mp4["url"]; ?>"}},
        
            /* Else, this is a safe fallback. */
            {type: "download", /* Download the file. */
                config: {file: "<?php echo $mp4["url"]; ?>"}}
        ],
        /* Set video dimensions. */ width: 480, height: 270
        });
    </script>

<?php } else /* Access is denied to the current User. */ { ?>
    Sorry, you do NOT have access to this file.
