Internet Explorer not working with JW Player and Cloudfront

In the past few months, internet explorer stopped working for streaming videos from my AWS cloud-front distribution.

I originally setup everything following this document: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/4101

Chrome and Firefox work like a champ and I have searched all over to figure this out, but have had no luck. IE 9 used to work on my site but it stopped working sometime in February.

IE 8 has never worked.

Here is a link to my site: http://www.smattie.com/2012/02/22/video-aws-fault-tolerance-strategies/

Here is my code:

<!--This is where you call on the required JavaScript file. You uploaded this in step 2a; you can recognize it by the .js suffix-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/smattiecdn/jwplayer.js"></script>

<div id="mediaspace">The information provided in this video is meant as a tutorial. It is not the final word on security or setup for your particular case. In Simpler terms: USE at your own risk. That said, I hope it helps.</div>

<!--Where it says smattievids/player.swf is where you specify the player that you uploaded in step 2b-->
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
var so = new jwplayer('http://s3.amazonaws.com/smattiecdn/player.swf','mpl','470','290','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
<!--This next line is where you specify your video file (uploaded in step 2c). For .mp4 files, you must write it as below ('mp4:awsft'), *without* the .mp4 extension. For .flv files, you simply write the name of the file ('YOUR_VIDEO_FILE') -->
so.addVariable('file','mp4:awsft');
<!--This next line is where you point to your streaming distribution on cloudfront (done in step 3 above). NOTE: you *MUST* add "/cfx/st/" for it to work. This specifies it is a cloudfront object (cfx) and that it is to be streamed (st). This is the URL of the streaming distribution--it ends with .cloudfront.net. In the example above, I would write: 'rtmp://sXXXXXXXXXX.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/'
-->
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://sXXXXXXXXXX.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/');
so.write('mediaspace');
// ]]></script>
