Starting with version 5, we no longer support JWPlayer.

Why as of JWPlayer 5 did you drop support for it? Is there support for any other third-party players other than Brightcove? How about Adobe Strobe Media Playback?

scadelearning,

We do not support any other third-party players (aside from JWPlayer before version 5.0).

Livestream no longer allows for the JWPlayer to connect to its service or just that Livestream doesn't answer questions about JWPlayer?

scadelearning,

If you wish to use JWplayer with Livestream you'll need to use a version older than 5.0.

I came to know from this thread that livestream is not having support for JWPlayer from version 5 onwards. It was really bad that livestream won’t support any other third-party players other than Brightcove and JWPlayer versions before 5. So that means I have to use older versions of JWPlayer with livestream for web video production . I will also share this information with my friends so that they won’t get mad thinking why their JWPlayer version 5 is not supported in livestream.
