How to use JWPlayer in CodeIgniter?

Question

So far i have tried below:

...

public function upload()
  {
    $jwplatform_api = new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI('my_key', 'my_secret');

    $target_file = 'upload/vids/course/bede6b9c266b876fc2f0dea7a86cf8bd.mp4';
    $params = array();
    $params['title'] = 'PHP API Test Upload';
    $params['description'] = 'Video description here';

    // Create video metadata
    $create_response = json_encode($jwplatform_api->call('/videos/create', $params));
    $decoded = json_decode(trim($create_response), TRUE);
    $upload_link = $decoded['link'];

    $upload_response = $jwplatform_api->upload($upload_link, $target_file);

    print_r($upload_response);
  }

...

But no luck, it says "Class 'Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI' not found". And yeah, i have put the files I got from https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplatform-php in the ROOT position inside a folder named "jwplatform-php".

Ok since you don't want to use composer - here is a guide

1. Download as Zip

2. Create a folder

In your folder application/third_party/ create a folder called jwplatformapi/

3. Unpack the init.php and the src folder

Unpack from your zip file the init.php and the src folder into your application/third_party/jwplatformapi/ folder

it should looke like

4. Create your library

Create a file called Jwplatform_library.php in your application/libraries/ folder

class Jwplatform_library
{
    private $key;
    private $secret;

    public function __construct($key = 'my_key', $secret = 'my_secret')
    {
        $this->key = $key;
        $this->secret = $secret;
    }

    public function get()
    {
        require_once(APPPATH.'third_party/jwplatformapi/init.php');
        return new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI($this->key, $this->secret);
    }
}

5. use it in one of your controllers

public function upload()
{
    $this->load->library('Jwplatform_library', ['my_key', 'my_secret']);
    $obj = $this->jwplatform_library->get();
    var_dump($obj);
}
