Is there any hope of getting JW Player 5.9 into the 4.7 release. Would love to be able to use the HTML5 player

I asked a similar question a little while ago.

You can update the jwplayer file, called jwplayer-5.6.swf and just replace it with the new version...

But that won't give you HTML5, it will give you the latest JWplayer-Flash-player... It is improved alright, but no HTML5.

the new player is much better than the previous one, I am currently using 5.10 and my frame rate issues and pause issues are gone

Nice, I wasn't aware the 5.10 was out! Upgraded accordingly myself

Thanks for the feedback, that's good to hear. I guess I'll give it a go when I get the chance.

Just a side note: Which upgrade method do you use? I usually just rename the player to the same as the old one so that I don't have to go into editing the SS code.

EDIT: Just redid my primary SS site. Nice.

I just update the jwplayer file, called jwplayer-5.6.swf and just replace it with the new downloaded version. However I would love to get the HTML 5 rendering option to work for two reasons..... first because FLASH looks like it is going the way of the wind with Adobes announcement Second I would love to use Safari on my iPad to stream music without having to download an app

Oh ya almost forgot you need the rename the new file the same as the old or it will not work

this flash announcement i just read about android no longer supporting after august 15th is actually what drove me to the forums now. I second this, lets make it official! we want updates!

I am sure you can get a hold of the flash player anyhow,

Does anyone know if this can be done on a Mac? I looked at the Application's contents, but the jwflashplayer isn't in there!

It's inside the war file /Applications/Subsonic.app/Contents/Resources/subsonic.war You'll have to use the terminal jar utility ( or the BetterZip utility ) to unpack the war, replace the file, and then repack the war ( I am not sure this last step is really needed, may be it could works also unpacked )
I did it and the new player showed up. It seems to work...Not sure about the improvements, though...
