<script type="text/javascript" src="jwplayer-7.11.2/jwplayer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">jwplayer.key="mg9zHGtZmszFHqc4f1fTCmb6RPIbw2WnFpbJdw==";</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="video">Loading the player...</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var playerInstance = jwplayer("video");
playerInstance.setup({
file: "test.smil",
title: "Test"
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

I want to test but only Error Loading Player : No playable sources found message show.

Videos store on root path.

Thank you.

The player code looks fine, so I’m wondering if its an issue with the SMIL itself. I’m also wondering if the browser you are using has flash enabled. Below is an example of a property formatted SMIL – does it resemble yours? Also, is there a reason why you are sticking with flash-based media instead of moving to adaptive streaming with HLS?

<smil>
  <head>
    <meta base="rtmp://example.com/vod/" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <switch>
      <video src="myVideo-high.mp4" height="720" system-bitrate="2000000" width="1280" />
      <video src="myVideo-medium.mp4" height="360" system-bitrate="800000" width="640" />
      <video src="myVideo-low.mp4" height="180" system-bitrate="300000" width="320" />
    </switch>
  </body>
</smil>

That’s where you point to the location of the RTMP application.

I assumed you were running one. If not, it should be the base URL of where the stream is located. See https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1430358-using-rtmp-streaming for more details.
