Trying to use jwplayer with a long url and the latest jw player. eg:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="player.swf" style="" id="player" name="player" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="opaque" flashvars="file=http://ia311032.us.archive.org/2/items/kzns.pl/kazanie/2009/2009_04_25_Peter_Gaut_Prophecy.flv&height=425&width=538&largecontrols=false&autostart=true&frontcolor=ffffff&lightcolor=cc9900&skin=/modieus.swf" height="425" width="538">

It complains that http://ia311032.us.archive.org/2/items/kzns.pl/kazanie/ is not found (and indeed it doesn't exist). Why does it not accept the full long url?

There is no file at this URI
http://ia311032.us.archive.org/2/items/kzns.pl/kazanie/2009/2009_04_25_Peter_Gaut_Prophecy.flv

it just returns a 404.

OOo thanks you are a wise man! it should have had f4v at the end and .. now it all works ok thanks. Interesting though that the error message was only wide enough to fit a certain number of characaters on.

1) menu is an Adobe Flash Player parameter.

2) There is no Adobe Flash Player parameter usefullscreen. Use allowfullscreen

3) The JW FLV Player is not transparent, so wmode=transparent is not useful. If you want to display HTML
     content overlaid on your Flash content, use wmode=opaque.

4) When you use a URI that contains the flashvars stacking characters ( ? = + ), you must urlencode the URI.
