Sample
<div id="myDiv">This text will be replaced with a player.</div>
<script>
jwplayer("myDiv").setup({
"file": "http://example.com/myVideo.mp4",
"image": "http://example.com/myImage.png",
"height": 360,
"width": 640
});
</script>
Clicking an HTML element can also instantiate and immediately begin playback. By calling setup() followed by play(), the user interaction on the element gets propagated through to the instantiated player. This eliminates the need to interact with the player to play media post setup.
