hi, i'm very new with the jw player. what i'm trying to figure out is how to have the player play through a playlist continuously but not have the playlist box with all of the thumbnails displayed and info. i just want it to play one video after the other.
in addition to this is it possible to jump to a video down the playlist and have the player keep playing through the list after the selected video finishes? i'm figuring that if i specify a playlist and then specify a specific video in it the player might play the next video in the list.
any tutorials on this?

See the flashvars documentation here: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashVars
To specify a start item, use the item flashvar (counting starts at 0).
The playlist flashvar specifies the layout of the playlist display.
Calculate the player's total height as the height of your displayarea plus the height of the control bar (standard controlbar=20px, some skins have controlbars of 40~60px).
Continuous play is repeat=list or repeat=always.
