[Plugin: JW Player Plugin for WordPress] Changing media folder

  • Hey,

    I’m working on a new blog and want to store my media on a sub-domain. I’ve went through the hassle of changing it in the settings, but it seems like I have a problem uploading player.swf.

    First of all, the auto-install doesn’t work. So I’m trying to install it manually, where it gives me an option of uploading it. I keep getting player not detected message.

    Should I change paths manually somewhere in the plugin code? I figured it would do it automatically.

    Any help and info?

    It seems like I’ve figured it out, but now skins are not changing. It seems like all skins in dir are zip files, is this normal?

    @viktorix,

    The skins are meant to be zipped. The v5 player makes use of zip skins.

    Thanks.

    Would there be any reasons for skins to stop working when I changed my media folder location?

    I’ve reactivated the plugin so it created necessary folders and files in the new “uploads” directory. The auto-install doesn’t work, so I downloaded player and uploaded it manually.

    Skins were working fine with default media location in the beginning.

    Thanks!

    I don’t think changing the media location should matter as the skins are located in the plugin directory.

    Do you have a link to your site so I could take a closer look at what’s happening?

    Thanks.

    So it looks like your crossdomain.xml file at https://rittiger.com/crossdomain.xml is invalid. If you fix this, it should start working for you.

    Thanks.

    Cool, thanks. Had to do research on it as it wasn’t even there.

    In case someone needs this.

    Create crossdomain.xml in your root directory, so url looks like:
    example.com/crossdomain.xml

    Inside that file put:

    <cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

    Clear your browser cache, so it updates with the new skin!
