This blog post explores exactly what a Web Video Player Script is. If you are looking for a script then you are likely to be looking for some software that runs on your websites. An example is JW Player. These scripts run on your website and…
allow you to play video in the users browser. There are many website video players but the core features are mostly the same:
- ability to play video
- ability to use different skin/themes
Some players provide additional functionality (mostly paid for) such as the ability to display ads and also interact with other websites such as facebook etc.
The ability to display ads is good (if you need it) but the core functionality is the embeding of the player in your website or blog.
So in a nutshell a web video player script is software that allows you to embed a video player in your website so that your website visitors can watch your videos!
