Question

got a decent setup working with jwplayer and the playlists. One thing i can’t track down is whether i can start with a certain video from the playlist? ie the 2nd or 3rd.
(I’ve found shuffle but that’s not what i want and i need to keep the existing order…)

current working code…

jwplayer("placeholder1").setup({

                    autostart: true,
                    flashplayer: "/scripts/player/player.swf", 
                    playlist: [<?=rtrim($flashList, ',')?>], /* "playlist.position": "bottom", "playlist.size": 60, */
                    width:640,
                    height: 445,
                    controlbar: "bottom",
                    repeat: 'list' 

});

any help appreciated! Dc.

Answer 1

All you need to do is add one flashvar:

item: 4

to tell it to start on item 4 of the playlist
