I don't know how to play Vimeo and YouTube videos using HTML5 JW Player on iPhones, iPods, iPads and other non-Flash machines.

For example, I have a URL http://vimeo.com/43064629 (Vimeo) or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsrhJp7Dwy0 (YouTube). I want to play the above video on iPhones, iPods, iPads and non-Flash devices. Can this be done using JW Player?

We don't support Vimeo files, but YouTube should be supported.

A simple JW Player setup like this will work in Flash/HTML5 - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29236/basic-youtube-stream
