JW Player 6.3: Error loading playlist: no playable sources found


I'm currently migrating from JW Player 5.9 to JW Player 6.3. I noticed that there are some substantial changes to the RSS formats in the new version, but I still haven't been able to get it to work.

Here's a link to a page that attempts to use an RSS playlist containing a single RTMP stream:
http://osric.com/chris/jwplayer/jwplayer6.0/playlist.html

(Modeled off the example at Loading RSS Feeds at http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28843/loading-rss-feeds)

It returns the message: "Error loading playlist: No playable sources found"

However, the same file streams when embedded via the Javascript:

Sorry, that's JW Player 6.0. I'm not sure why I thought it was 6.3--I've probably been staring at too many version numbers lately.

Can you update to 6.3?

When I right-click the Flash-based player it says version 6.3.3242 (I downloaded it today) -- so I guess it is 6.3. Now I'm not sure why I thought it was 6.0.

...and I've updated my demo pages to reflect the version number.

Streaming does not work when RTMP path specified in RSS playlist:
http://osric.com/chris/jwplayer/jwplayer6.3/playlist.html

Streaming works when RTMP path specified in Javascript embed:

Change:

playlist: “playlist.xml”

To:

playlist: “playlist.xml”, primary: “flash”
