Few common steps only:

• Get the plugin
• Copy plugin to your plugins folder

Copy plugin to your plugins folder

After you get the plugin archive file, unpack it to your hard-drive and transfer the “jwmp_plugin” folder to your “wp-contents/plugins” folder. You should get “readme.txt” file that helps a little bit with the process.

Activate plugin

Go to your WordPress admin panel and activate the JWMP Plugin. After you activate the plugin, new “JWMP” option should appear in your Settings.

Provide required options

Go to your “JWMP” Settings page and provide required options and default common options for your media files. JWMP Plugin uses modified HTML-Comment Tag for your post and for your default options. Modified tag looks like this:
<!--JWMP -->

You must provide following correct attributes in your default options:

• [swfobject] correct URI to your SWFObject2 JavaScript library
• [mediaplayer] correct URI to your MediaPlayer
• Default “width” and “height” for your media
• Default required “version” for FlashPlayer Plugin

If those attributes are missing or if [version] does not have at least one [. dot] you will get JavaScript error message. Minimum codes for your default options, using FullScreen (for example), should look like this:
<!--JWMP
swfobject=path_to_your_swfobject.js
mediaplayer=path_to_your_mediaplayer.swf
height=170
width=200
version=9.0.0
usefullscreen=true
allowfullscreen=true
---->


If some other plugin uses SWFObject2 you should skip [swfobject] instruction. If you add that instruction JavaScript Tag for SWFObject2 will be duplicated in the page which is not a problem but slows down the page a bit. How do you know if you need that instruction?

• Try without it! If you get JavaScript error – then you need to provide an URI or to use [swfobject] instruction

Tell the plugin where your media file is and you are done…

In your post, you provide an URI to your media file in this same way. All other attributes will overwrite your default options made earlier. Example:
<!--JWMP
file=path_to_your_media.mp3
usefullscreen=false
height=20
---->


That will give you a player for .MP3 200×20 pixels, which does not use FullScreen anyway… As you can see, it is quick, easy and safe – that kind of code will not appear in your feed.

And – yes, all instructions are same level in JWMP Plugin — you do not have to worry which instruction is for embeding, which is for player or which is for flashvars. You just PASTE them there and JWMP Plugin will sort them out in the correct order.
