Thanks for the reply

That there isn’t a tutorial, doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.

True, that I’m sure it’s possible. But it shocks me that nobody has even mentioned it…or where it was mentioned, nobody replied. And, for a non-developer, having no documentation, guidance or even prior discussion means it’s simply a no-go.

We provided instructions (and lately an integration with shortcodes) for JW to help site owners with a popular free player, but it already takes a lot of our time to solve issues related to it. We can’t do the same for more players.

That is what I thought to be peculiar. S2Member says JWPlayer is free, however JWPlayer is not free for commercial purposes, and I can’t think of a single instance where S2Member would be used for anything other than a commercial purpose. Yet THAT is the player S2Member integrates into their documentation and shortcodes.

However, FlowPlayer, IS free for commercial purposes. Yet THAT player is the one chosen to not be documented or shortcoded.

It was just weird to me, the effort and intense support, documentation and integration (deeper integration with MailChimp? an affiliate marketer’s opponent?) are applied to providers and 3rd party things that seem to be counter productive.

So obviously my next mission will be to develop a tutorial on FlowPlayer (the legally free player) integration with S2Member…for those who can’t see paying $99/year for the proper single domain JWPlayer license. I’ll mention it in the forums when it’s done so something on the topic can actually be found.
