    Hi!
    This widget allows you to watch videos in the manager backend.

    INSTALL:
    1.Download JWplayer http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
    2.Upload JWplayer to your site.
    3.Upload "jwplayer" folder from archive to your ManagerManager widget folder(usually assets/plugins/managermanager/widgets/)
    4.Correct path to the player in jwplayer.php(variable $playerPath).
    5.Create TV with ’Input Type’ as ’File’.
    6.Add widget call to ManagerManager rules.
    Example:
    mm_widget_jwplayer('video,video2');

        Yes, it should play.
        Да, если вставить ссылку на ролик, то будет играть. Я тестировал на версии 5.1
        Перед этим не забудьте поместить yt.swf в папку с player.swf.
        JWplayer надо скачивать отдельно.

              Creating a Template Variable
              You can find documentation for managermanager in plugin folder: assets/plugins/managermanager/docs/index.htm

                  Try to put the slash before [*jwplayertv*]

                  If you are using SWFObject, it should look something like
                  <script type='text/javascript' src='assets/js/swfobject.js'></script>
 
<div id='mediaspace'></div>
 
<script type='text/javascript'>
  var so = new SWFObject('/assets/flash/player.swf','mpl','600','410','9');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
  so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
  so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
  so.addVariable('file','/[*jwplayertv*]');
  so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
