I'm using the pro version offline (it will run in a cd-rom) and this problem causes a flash error.

Please, could you help us?

Hi, regarding 1815 bug (Video player loading analytics even when disabled, causing crashes on offline sites like said by the original poster, for example on a cdrom release of his project).

The issue can be fixed by downloading a copy of the jwpsrv.js script.
b) Placing it in the jwplayer folder. Edit it with notepad.
c) Search for the string "jwpsrv.js"
d) Then near of it you should see:

function(c) ...

Replace it with the following code, (check how and where it ends) should not fail. If needed, "localhost" can be changed to whatever URL or URI is needed:

CODE:

(function(c) {var b=c.embed,a=c.utils,d=a.extend(function(i){var g=i.config,e=g.plugins,f=g.analytics,h=(a.isHTTPS()?"http:":"http://")+"localhost/jwplayer/jwpsrv.js";

END CODE

That's it. How It served well as help.

We wouldn’t recommend a “hack” like this, but at the same time it fixes the issue for 6.1.

6.2 will get released in 2 weeks, around Feb 7…

I have the version of 6.2 now and the jwplayer still trying to download jwpsrv.js even if my options contains disabling analytics.

Like this:
bc.. analytics: {
enabled: false,
cookies: false
}


What should I do?

I don’t see this in my testing setup. Do you have a link where this happens? Have you updated all assets and have you clreaded your browser cache in order to ensure you’re not accidentally loading a 6.1 player from your browser cache?

Unfortunately, I can't provide you a live site because it is accessibly only via VPN.
I've observed with IE webdeveloper tools, and the jwplayer.min.js contains this:
bc.. "undefined"==typeof jwplayer&&(jwplayer=function(f){if(jwplayer.api)return jwplayer.api.selectPlayer(f)},jwplayer.version="6.2.3115",


The URL, what the browser try to get:
http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/2/jwpsrv.js

bc.. jwplayer('mediaspace').setup({
'file': '/~/media/Training/Videos/Cegunk-modositas-1.mp4','backcolor': '4E575F',
'frontcolor': 'FFFFFF',
'lightcolor': 'FFFFFF',
'screencolor': '000000',
'controlbar': 'bottom',
'width': '520',
'autostart': 'true',
'primary': 'flash',
analytics: {
enabled: false,
cookies: false
}});


I think, I can't see my mistace in my code. :(

I'm using a free version of JWPlayer.

I read that, analytics enabled option is disabled for free users.
