Changes since 7.2.0

The default preload setting in now unset. If preload is not defined in the setup options, a preload attribute will not be added to video tags, and no preloading will occur in the Flash player. Preload must explicitly be set to "auto", "metadata" or "none". "metadata" is also disabled in Flash for progressive downloads because it could lead to the entire mp4 being downloaded.

Features

Content Preload - Provides faster video startup by preloading media metadata, and/or starting to download the actual media. This is configured by setting a "preload" value of "metadata", "auto" or "none" in the setup options. If no value is set, the player will default to "meta". For html5 playback this maps to the video tag's preload attribute.

jwplayer('player-container').setup({
    file: 'video.mp4',
    preload: 'auto'
});

Fixes

This patch deals specifically with Flash playback issues caused by Chrome's Power Save feature. The player UI now hides when in a throttled state, displaying only the swf object element. Clicking on the throttled "play" button or right clicking and selecting "Run Flash" resumes playback from where it left off.

Known Issues

We have not yet dealt with handing Chrome's Power Saving impact on audio only players (#679). Two work-arounds are available - self host the jwplayer.flash.swf on the same origin or query the object tag and set it's width and height to less than 5 pixels. The latter will be the default behavior for audio only players in 7.2.
