Does the Brightcove 508 compliant player support the Javascript API?

Question

First, the Brightcove forums are useless, since you must have a Brightcove account to contribute. IA m just a dev, no account.

I have been given the source for the Brightcove 508 compliant player and need to do some simple things (stop, start, jump) using the Javascript API.

No need for code here, a standard player accepts the calls fine, the 508 does not. Why is that?

Does API support have to be specifically turned on when the player is generated?

Answer 1

Yes, there's a flag in the player (template, if I remember correctly) that enables API access. I think the point there is that if you don't own the player, you shouldn't control how it behaves.
