JW Player customers enabled for streaming of free movies, TV shows, music videos, artist interviews and paid original video content in traditional TV format.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW YORK \u2013 August 21, 2014 \u2013 JW Player, a leader in online and mobile video, today announced that customers Baeblemusic, SnagFilms, and RiffTrax are using JW Player with Chromecast integration for their video player deployments, enabling users to interact with their content through their television sets.<\/p>\n

Baeblemusic<\/a>, a leading music video destination, is using JW Player\u2019s Google Chromecast integration to enable its users to cast high quality music videos and exclusive musician interviews from artists such as Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, OK GO, and many others. The company has taken advantage of the platform\u2019s customization capabilities; videos are accompanied by pre-roll and post-roll VAST compliant video advertising and the Baeble logo, extending monetization across multiple platforms and enhancing brand image.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always built our video library with the idea that it was going to appear on the large screen. JW Player\u2019s implementation of Chromecast allows us to leap ahead of our competitors\u2019 video offerings and provide the most compelling experience for our audience,\u201d said Baeblemusic CEO David Moffly.<\/p>\n

SnagFilms<\/a>, a premier, ad-supported, social video-viewing platform, is now giving users the ability to cast free streaming movies and TV shows with JW Player, including documentaries, independent films, drama, action, cult classics, kids programming, original content, and more. Sample movie titles include \u201cBrooklyn Rules\u201d starring Alec Baldwin, \u201cMotherhood\u201d with Uma Thurman, and \u201cInseparable\u201d starring Kevin Spacey. Users can select resolutions up to 1080p for a high quality widescreen TV experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who does long form video has to give its audience an easy way to view content on the large screen,\u201d said Manik Bambha, CTO, SnagFilms. \u201cFor us, the improved visual experience our users see on the big screen plays an important role in growing our audience base and keeping them engaged. That\u2019s why all of our 5000+ videos are now Chromecast compatible!\u201d<\/p>\n

RiffTrax.com<\/a> is a site featuring funny commentaries by the former cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000. RiffTrax users can now cast short programming previews and purchase full length feature films and TV shows featuring their iconic commentaries, to the big screen using JW Player\u2019s Chromecast integration. \u201cJW Player\u2019s Chromecast integration is huge for our business, as it opens up a whole world of lean-back experience for our customers who want to watch hilarious RiffTrax commentaries on their TVs \u2013 not their computers,\u201d said Erik Peterson, Art Director and Lead Web Engineer at RiffTrax.<\/p>\n

These rollouts follow the commercial launch of Chromecast support, which enables users to cast video onto a Chromecast connected TV and then turn their computer into a remote control, eliminating traditional backend connectivity methods such as VGA\/HDMI\/RCA cables. JW Player is the only standalone web video player on the market offering Chromecast streaming that is fully integrated with standards-based VAST video advertising, as well as the ability to customize the look and feel of the branded video player in the primary screen, which cannot be done on the default version of Chromecast.<\/p>\n

JW Player with Chromecast integration enables the company to further support its content publishers in order to deliver a wider audience across new devices, help them reach more engaged visitors, and increase revenue for their sites. The rapid adoption of support for casting videos to TV shown by Baeblemusic, SnagFilms, RiffTrax, and others shows the value video content consumers place on the traditional TV viewing experience. With the Chromecast integration, JW Player is helping clients deliver this value to their end users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
