title: play local video file in jwplayer
body: <p>I have a jwplayer on a html page which loads the videos fine from a cdn network or direct web URL. However I am looking to use locally (hard drive) stored videos to load on the web page. I understand that local resources are not allowed in the browser to load. I am looking for a work around on this. </p>
  
  <p>Here is my code which I tried with locally stored video file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>jwplayer("video-player").setup({
                                              file: "file:///F:/video-file-name.mp4",
                                              image: "file:///F:/video-thumbnail.jpg",
                                              width: "100%",
                                              height: "100%",
                                              abouttext: "about text",
                                              aboutlink: "",
                                              logo: {
                                              file: "http://google-com/vid_logo.png"
                                              },
                                              autostart: true,
                                              primary: "flash",
                                              startparam: "start"
  
                                              }
                                          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried it with  file:// in the beginning of the path, but it won't work.</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
