Error loading playlist: Error loading file

Hello, this is Domingos from Holland.
First of all thank you very much for this excellent player!

I've just migrated to jwplayer6, but I have 1 problem with loading the playlist.
When I load the page, I get this error message:
Error loading playlist: Error loading file

Playlist loads fine though when I use the jwplayer's 5 javascript.

Do you know a solution?

May thanks in advance.

Change:

file: ‘http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/BD57861AEF436283?v=2&alt=rss’,

To:

playlist: ‘http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/BD57861AEF436283?v=2&alt=rss’,

Also, you are using many V5 variables which no longer exist in V6.

I've changed the code, but the player doesn't load at all now.

<script>
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
playlist: "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/BD57861AEF436283?v=2&alt=rss",
height: 360,
listbar: {
position: 'right',
size: 320
},
width: 960
});
</script>

Under:

playlist: “http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/BD57861AEF436283?v=2&alt=rss”,

Add:

primary: “flash”,

Thanks, that solved the problem.
But where is that location defined?

1 more thing
How can I made it responsive without using fitvids?
I applied the streching variable, but it doesn't work.

Np. They should be in the same folder.

Responsive, you need to use an iframe and CSS, like this – http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css-elastic-videos

Okay, I thought that v6 would have responsiveness by default. Or only after a future update?

I've removed the "primary: "flash","
because I want jwplayer to auto select html5 or flash, but the player won't load than.

Just use % based width and height…

Regarding removing it, do you have an example?

Since you are using a YouTube playlist, you need to add this line:

primary: “flash”,
