Topic: JW Player & Gallery

I followed the instructions for installing Simple Video Embedder and the JW Player. I even entered the path to the JW Player files location. I still can't get the FLV video to show up after entering the URL and size. I'm using this with the Gallery child theme.

Also, how do I get rid of of the "Get the Flash Player to see this player." copy.

Thanks in advance.

Re: JW Player & Gallery

What are you adding in the "path" field for the JW Player files location?

First, it was:
http://www.poodyglitz.com/newsite/wp-content


When that didn't seem to work:

Re: JW Player & Gallery

I get a "403 Forbidden" error when trying to access that path.

I'd assume it's a Wordpress security thing or something to do with server permissions? What should be the case?

You need to adjust your folder permissions so that the file is at least accessible.

O.K, set the permissions to 755 and can access the folder. However, something strange on the page:

Seems like you were able to get it to work.

Up to a point. Now I need to know why the video player is showing when it shouldn't be.

Re: JW Player & Gallery

Could you explain what you mean by "the video player is showing when it shouldn't be"? Is it displaying even when there's no video? If you could let us know when it is showing up and why it shouldn't be, that would be great. Thanks.

The theme is supposed to work like this:

http://www.chris-wallace.com/gallery/

For some reason, things just aren't quite working right for me:

http://poodyglitz.com/newsite/

I entered an absolute path to the video under "Post Video Options":

http://www.poodyglitz.com/media2/Showreel_2008_2b.flv

What am I doing wrong, I wonder?

Re: JW Player & Gallery

I would highly suggest asking the creator of the the theme.
