These API calls are used to create players and provide setup information.
| Method | Description |
|---|
| jwplayer( div ).setup(options) | Creates a new JW Player on your web page. |
| .remove() | The reverse of the setup() call, this call will remove a JW Player from the page. It ensures the player stops playback, the DOM is re-set to its original state and all event listeners and timers are cleaned up. Any event listeners will need to be re-instantiated if another player is set up. |
| .setConfig() | Set one or more of the following video attributes after the player has already setup. |
| .getProvider() | Returns the provider being utilized by JW Player for a particular media file. JW Player will always technically render in HTML5 mode, even if it is using a Flash-based provider. |
| .getContainer() | Returns the entire HTML of the div in which a JW Player instance exists. This includes all IDs, styles, classes, and content. |
| .getEnvironment() | Returns the browser and operating system information in which the player thinks it's in. |
| .getPlugin() | Targets a particular plugin for API calls. Currently functions with our Sharing and Related plugins. |
| Method | Description |
|---|
| .on('ready') | Signifies when the player has been initialized and is ready for playback. This is the earliest point at which any API calls should be made. |
| .on('setupError') | Fired when neither the player could be set up. |
| .on('remove') | Triggered when the player is taken off of a page via .remove(); |
