JW Player 6: no reaction on API calls

JW Player v6 does not seem to react to any API call I've tried. We need this version to support IE7+8.

Here is a live example, the link "Toggle playback" calls the API with .play() but nothing happens. Also onPlay() events are not fired:

Can you confirm this bug and if so when will it be fixed?

Thanks

This does seem to be related to using the playerInstance variable being used to target the specific player. If you utilize jwplayer() instead, this should fix the issue. Note that we have corrected this behavior in JW7.
