<script type = "text/javascript" src = "D:\MyTest\jwplayer-7.2.2\jwplayer.js"></script>

<div id = "myElement"> Loading the jwpalyer7....</div>
<script type ="text/javascript">
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
playlist: [{

Hi there,

The player does not work with absolute paths from your computer, such as how you are doing. This may work if your HTML is saved inside of your jwplayer-7.2.2 folder, in which case you can change all of your paths to be relative to where the HTML file, so it would make your setup like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jwplayer.js"></script>

<div id="myElement"> Loading the jwpalyer7....</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  jwplayer("myElement").setup({
    playlist: [{
      file: "MUNA.mp4",
      titile: "My file",
      width: 682,
      height: 239,
      tracks: [{
        file: "upc-video-subtitles-en.vtt",
        label: "English",
        kind: "captions",
        "default": true
      }]
    }]
  });
</script>

If that still doesn’t work, I would recommend downloading and installing a local web server that you can use to try to get the page to work. One application that is popular is MAMP.

Thank you.
