[Bug] Player IDs are always 0 in code output

    Can anyone confirm this issue: If you use different players, they still have the same id (0) in the code. So no matter what player you use, this will be always the same in the source code: id='jwplayer-0' and jwplayer('jwplayer-0').

    The settings of the selected player ID are used, but it’s just the code output’s ID. I’d like to target a specific player with CSS (#jwplayer-x) so I hope you’ll fix this.

    That does not happen in my install, on my main page I have:

    id=’jwplayer-0′
    id=’jwplayer-1′
    id=’jwplayer-2′
    id=’jwplayer-3′

    etc

    I’ve deleted all the settings and the plugin, downloaded and installed it again, but still the same id in the source code.

    Where are you running this?

    Aha! I think I’ve found out what’s wrong. I thought that the last number in the source code (id="jwplayer-x") would be the same number as the player id in the settings; the one you use in the shortcode. Example: [jwplayer player="1"] would result in id="jwplayer-1". But after I placed several players on one page I saw that the first one is always jwplayer-0, the second has the id jwplayer-1, the third jwplayer-2 etc.

    So it was not a problem of the plugin, but a wrong thought about the function.

    PS: maybe a suggestion for a future update; add a class to the HTML output like class="playerid-1" which is based on the player id in the settings.

    PPS: I found this suggestion after a Google search: Load jwplayer.js conditionally. Will this be implemented?

    Glad you got that. I will have to ask about the 2nd question.
