Error 1085


I am having problem using playlists with an embedded JWPlayer.
It is a Drupal 6 installation.
Player plays well if I point to a file in the same folder instead of a playlist.
I get the following error:
Task Queue failed at step 5: Playlist could not get loaded: Error #1085

The embed code is:

bc.. <object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000'
id='mediaplayer1'
name='mediaplayer1'
width='675'
height='520'>
<param name='movie' value='/jwplayer/player.swf'>
<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='bgcolor' value='#000000'>
<param name='wmode' value='opaque'>
<param name='flashvars' value='playlistfile=/sites/default/files/judging/judginglist.xml'>
<param name='flashvars' value='playlist.position=right'>
<param name='flashvars' value='playlist.size=300'>
<param name='flashvars' value='controlbar=over'>
<embed
id='mediaplayer1'
name='mediaplayer2'
src='/jwplayer/player.swf'
width='675'
height='520'
allowfullscreen='true'
allowscriptaccess='always'
bgcolor='#000000'
wmode='opaque'
flashvars='playlistfile=/sites/default/files/judging/judginglist.xml'
flashvars='playlist.position=right'
flashvars='playlist.size=300'
flashvars='controlbar=over'
/>
</object>



The playlist content is:

bc.. <rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
<channel>
<title>Judging Playlist</title>
<item>
<title>Robotrashers</title>
<media:content url="/sites/default/files/judging/Seq2Sub1.mp4" />
</item>
<item>
<title>Calvin Woolfolk</title>
<media:content url="/sites/default/files/judging/Seq2Sub2.mp4" />
</item>
<item>
<title>VillaVisuals</title>
<media:content url="/sites/default/files/judging/Seq2Sub3.mp4" />
</item>
</channel>
</rss>



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you provide a link?

Sorry, I do not have a link at this time as I had a deadline on this project yesterday.

I had the exact same problem embedding with SWObject 1.5 and the JWEmbedder so I assume it is a problem with the playlist.

I resolved it for now by doing an embedded JavaScript playlist with the JWEmbedder version and it worked great with the 125+ videos on the final list.

I will need to resolve this issue in the coming week and will setup the player on a test site later today. I will post the link when that is done.

As mentioned above I got a playlist working on that site as an embedded JavaScript playlist. The strange thing is that xml playlist work great on the same site on a test server.

I also am running into problems with events not triggering with IE8. I wrote a voting system so that users can only vote after seeing the two videos. It works great with Firefox, Chrome, Safari but is very inconsistent on IE. It kind of work on my system, but different users report various problems randomly. It might work once and then never again or work only once in a while.

In IE8 if you use the developer tools and clear the cache it consistently permits it to work once. Is there a problem with IE and the player.

One of the pages is:

There are over 120 pages with the same problem...

I am not sure if this would be helpful but try the following

bc.. <meta name="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1, env=ie">



NOTE: You will have to change the meta so that it is compliant with either xhtml or html; the above is for html5.

What does it to force IE to render at its highest level. It may help BUT I am not certain if it does.

I only use IE8 to test my web pages otherwise I use FF
