Before You Start:
1. You must be an IVA customer.
2. The plugin must be built in Flash. Javascript plugins will not work with this method. To learn how to build a plugin for this player review the documentation on Longtail's site: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/17679/building-flash-plugins
3. If you have not done so already, create a player inside Media Manager.
To Test a Custom Plugin
Use the template below to test your plugin.
http://www.videodetective.net/flash/players/?customerid={yourID}&playerid={Player#}&pversion=5.6&plugins={URLtoPlugin.swf}&cmd=6&publishedid={anypubid}
Replace the sections in red (above) with the appropriate information.
| CustomerID | Account number assigned to you by your IVA sales rep. |
| PlayerID | Number assigned to the player when it was created inside Media Manager. |
| Plugins | URL that tells the player where to get the plugin. |
| PublishedID | Unique number for any IVA trailer. Example: X-Men: First Class (Published ID 244133). |
Include this XML file in the root of your site:

Email us with your finished custom plugin and we will put it on our server so that you can use it with your player.
*Note: Each time a plugin is sent in to be added our team needs to re-publish videodetective.net. We only do this once a day when neccessary and only before 2 PM EST. No publishing can be done after that time in order to give us time to do our testing after the publish.
