JW Player & Long Tail Video Platform Overview – The #1 Open Source Video Player

Longtail Video was co-founded by Jeroen “JW” Wijering and started with his incredibly popular open-source JWplayer embeddable media player that has been downloaded more than 7 million times since 2005. In fact, the JWPlayer was the first player used by online video powerhouse YouTube, purchased from Jeroen for $20 Euros. Over the years the JW player has grown, expanded and increased in versatility and usability. It’s even fully skinnable now so you can make it look exactly how you need it to and has a plug-in and modular architecture.
