Error Loading Player No Sources Found

  • I just recently updated to WordPress 4.1 and JWplayer 6 Plugin for WordPress 2.1.9. After I updated I checked on the videos and they were playing correctly, so I thought it was all great. Then when someone went to add new videos, the new videos do not load saying: “Error loading player: No playable sources found”. The videos are loaded by URL from a Wowza server using a link like this one: rtmp://server.domain.org/vod/_definst_/mp4:folder/15_01_04vid.mp4. All of the old videos work fine like this, but none of the new ones that I add work. I can play back the RTMP stream using VLC, so I know the Wowza server is ok.

    I found this thread which talks about some compatibility issues with WP 4.0.1, but the fix of changing a line of code in jwplayermodule.php to define(“JWP6_USE_CUSTOM_SHORTCODE_FILTER”, false); didn’t work for me. The fact that old videos are working makes me think it isn’t a shortcode issue.

    Can you provide a link? Did changing the shortcode filter fix the issue for new videos?

    Sorry that should have read that the shortcode change “didn’t” work for me.
    Unfortunately our site is behind a firewall and isn’t available on the internet. I know that makes troubleshooting much trickier, but if there is anything I can check or information I could send to help let me know.

    What is the shortcode for the new post?

    The new post’s shortcode looks like this [jwplayer mediaid="27405"]
    The new post and the old posts use the same format of shortcode.

    What if you try something like this for RTMP:

    [jwplayer file=”rtmp://server.domain.org/vod/_definst_/mp4:folder/15_01_04vid.mp4″]

    Sweet, that short code worked. I could just switch to using that method of posting them. What would the syntax be for adding a thumbnail to that?
