Hi,
I cannot get the JW player to work using veoh flv's :(. For example if I use the excellent trapvid site to grab the url to the flv:
Original URL: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1393643CXHgQhq9
Trapvid returned URL: http://content.veoh.com/flash/p/1393643/dcfeaa9f9fc098a7667a3a8827b0e2c0f4234fc1.flv?ct=341bfac39eb6...
If I then put this into the JW player and use "type flv" it plays fine in ff and opera but not in IE.
Has anyone come across this issue before and could shine a light for me? TIA.
Not for me it doesn't :(.
Please see an example here:

..works in ff, opera but not IE.
WOW, I can see why. You forgot to set the width and height, and you have the player code inside it's own element, so it's overwriting itself, and the URL from trapvid had expired.
<div class="screen" id="player1">
If you can see this text then you need to install Adobe Flash Player to
watch this video. This is easy, just visit here and get it.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject('/player/flvplayer.swf', 'single', '500', '350', '7');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');
s1.addVariable('file', encodeURIComponent('http://content.veoh.com/flash/p/1393643/dcfeaa9f9fc098a7667a3a8827b0e2c0f4234fc1.flv?ct=ecdbe0019309cf782308ce0efaae8b87395b37243f0cc65d'));
//s1.addVariable('file', 'http://content.veoh.com/flash/p/1393643/dcfeaa9f9fc098a7667a3a8827b0e2c0f4234fc1.flv?ct=341bfac39eb609732bde55afb6f349503caaa162f8831616');
s1.addVariable('type', 'flv');
s1.addVariable('width', '500');
s1.addVariable('height', '350');
s1.addVariable('overstretch', 'true');
s1.write('player1');
</script>
Will I appreciate the help you are giving me however it still does not work. I have copied and pasted your code into the page and it still does not work in IE, please see again here:

What could possibly be wrong now?
No takers? Damn.
Does this mean I have found a bug in the player? As far as I can see the code is correct (although I could be wrong), it plays in ff and opera so the paths are working.
Confused :(.
@Ian,
This link works for me in IE. Just tested it.
s1.addVariable('file', encodeURIComponent('http://content.veoh.com/flash/p/1393643/dcfeaa9f9fc098a7667a3a8827b0e2c0f4234fc1.flv?ct=ecdbe0019309cf782308ce0efaae8b87395b37243f0cc65d'));
s1.addVariable('type', 'flv');So I think it's a local issue. Update your Flash plugin or uninstall, re-install it.
Tested in Flash7/NT, Flash8/W2000, Flash9.0.64.0/XP.
Don't have Vista/IE7, never will...
I have the same problem, Will, do you have email so I can give you the link to take a look? Thanks so much.
I have also facing same problem. You can View The Page IN IE 7 http://www.fuelinfusion.com/Testimonial.aspx.
