I was using jmeter to stress test my website. But there is website containing videos played by jwplayer. When i send requests it only loads page not playing video. Is there any way to test the page with video?

I'm not an expert on jwplayer (only just heard of it) but I'll take a guess that it is loading the video through some sort of JavaScript/jquery/AJAX mechanism.

From what I understand Jmeter does not process these requests when you fire of a GET request to a page as it is NOT a real browser! If you want to force one of these elements to load * then you must make another GET request with the URL to that element only. On the site I test we have several AJAX elements that I have to test in this way, extracting the dynamic URL from the previous page and using that to load the next one.

*is your website actually hosting the videos, or just linking to a service hosting them? If the latter, there is no point to load testing the videos.
