I'm trying to set up a pretty simple video player with a dynamically generated media rss playlist. Actually, at the moment, I'm trying to get it work with just a static xml file, only when i try checking out the html5 player in a non-flash compliant browser, (Safari with plug-ins turned off) neither the player or playlist show up. If I remove the playlist parameter, the html5 player shows up without a problem, (sans playlist, of course.)

Any ideas?

Are you loading the playlist from the same domain? Can you provide a link so I can see the implementation?

Thanks.

The playlist is on the same server as the player, movie files and thumbnails.

The page content only contains:

"[jwplayer |file=http://199.195.122.199/sites/default/files/ATT_Exercise.m4v|config=ProductWithPlaylist
|playlistfile=http://199.195.122.199/testPlaylist.xml ]"

The playlist is:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
  <channel>
    <title>Example playlist</title>
    <description>Test Playlist</description>
	<link>http://199.195.122.199</link>
    <item>
      <title>Test Video</title>
      <description>Description description blah blah blah</description>
      <media:content url="http://199.195.122.199/sites/default/files/ATT_Exercise.m4v" />
      <media:thumbnail url="http://199.195.122.199/sites/default/files/ATT_Exercise.jpg" />
    </item>
  </channel>
</rss>

@steltere,

I believe the issue here is that you have both a file and a playlistfile specified. If you remove the 'file' setting from you jw player tag it should load correctly.

Thanks.

I removed the file parameter and now the HTML5 displays and can play the first video, but is still omitting the playlist and missing the thumbnail.

I am having the same exact issue with an rss feed. Only the first video appears in the playlist, although I do see the thumbnail. The second video in the playlist shows a blank space, but does not load.

The same rss playlist works fine using Flash, displaying all the files in the playlist.

Hey guys,

A link to an example of where it is failing would be helpful to debug the issue.

Thanks.

The link I provided in 2 will still go to a page where there's a problem. I got rid of the file parameter, and now the playlist is coming from a php file, but everything else is the same.

Now, in the html5 player, it's displaying thumbnails, and the "next /previous video" buttons work, moving from one video to another in the playlist, but it's still not showing the playlist itself.
