We have the need to allow our users to download any video they\'re currently watching in the JWPlayer. The most logical way to do this would be to add a \"download\" link i
Check this
<script>
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
image: "/uploads/myPoster.jpg",
file: "/uploads/myVideo.mp4"
});
</script>
<script>
jwplayer().addButton(
"/uploads/myButton.png",
"Download Video",
function() {
window.location.href = jwplayer().getPlaylist()[0].sources[0].file;
},
"download"
);
</script>
Drawback : only works for one video not for playlist (source : download-button-and-playlist)
Reference - video-download-button
Hope it helps :)
Here is a quick demo, I updated it so it works on a per playlist item basis, and I made the image base64encoded so you don't have to host the download png on your server:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
