This works fine in IE for me. What version of the Flash plugin are you using?

I use Flash Player 10.1.58.3 in IE8.
I have tried on different pc's, running win xp and win7. Same result.
Strange that you can see it.

something is wrong with your jwplayer.js because IE is making a request that looks like this:

when I use my own jwplayer.js (the latest minified file from Longtail Video) it works correctly...

try it in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome...

Wow. Thanks.
You are right. There must have been something wrong with my jwplayer.js.
I uploaded the exact same file again, and then it worked.
Thank you very much for your investigation :-)
