Hello,
I really like the FLV player and it works fine in Firefox, after using the wizard. But in Internet Explorer is see nothing at all, only: 'This text will be replaced' after using the same code as generated in the wizzard.
WHY???
Wizard not complete

I found the solution!
The code generated by the wizard is corrupt. Every time I used this code and it went wrong. After checking this code carefully I noticed that the embed code should end with </embed>. Now I see my video both in Firefox and I.E.
Here you can see the smalle (but very important diference:
Code JW wizard (works only in FF):
<embed
src="/jw/embed/player.swf"
width="470"
height="320"
bgcolor="undefined"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/3ta6fhJQ.flv"
/>
But it should be:
<embed
src="/jw/embed/player.swf"
width="470"
height="320"
bgcolor="undefined"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/3ta6fhJQ.flv"
</embed>
Now it works in FF and I.E.

the code shouldn't end with </embed>
it's strange that it works on the second method.
but if you look carefully:
<embed lots of jibber jabber />
this means />
the embed doesn't need a closing tag.
it might be that IE doesn't recognize embed, and that you have to use <object></object> (look at youtube for example)

Well, I think I leave it this way. After days of searching the internet for a solution, this easy change of code seemed to work. Thank you anyway for your reply.

embed
small misunderstanding -
xhtml syntax:
<embed lots of jibber jabber />
or
<embed lots of jibber jabber <strong>></embed>
--------
html syntax:
<embed lots of jibber jabber <strong>></embed>

Little known facts about xml/xhtml/html:
Browsers are picky with how you close your singletons:
<iframe /> != <iframe></iframe>
<script /> != <script></script>
<embed /> != <embed></embed>
ALWAYS use both tags... It used to be the older gecko engines {FF} that used to choke without dual tags, but it would seem that it is now an IE problem.
Yes, specification says there's no difference, but somewhere between the fourth and fifth handful of hair you rip from your skull due to IE quirks, you'll soon see that standards don't mean squat to multi-billion dollar companies...

Can you provide a link?
I have the same problem. Can nobody help us with this issue. The player should be seen in alle browsers. I payed for a license of a producat that doesn't even work right.
