Custom Skin in JWPlayer 6

Hi,
I saw the subject has been treated a couple of time here :
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/addons/working-with-wordpress/32645/wordpress-jw-plugin-how-do-you-customize-the-default-skin
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/addons/working-with-wordpress/33329/upgraded-to-pro-still-no-skin-options-in-wordpress
But I still have the issue : I can't make a custom skin to work with JWPlayer.
I use the last plugin version (2.1.1) for Wordpress, and according to the previous post, the issue has been solved in 2.1.0
I have downloaded the two custom skins from the JWPlayer SDK in order to be sure to use skins compatible with the V6 player, I have uploaded them into the plugin skins directory, both zipped and unzipped version, and still, no skin changes...
Here is the front-page with 4 videos :

And here are the 4 shortcodes used :

bc.. [jwplayer mediaid="366" skin="http://preprod-licornpublishing.com/totemtv/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/six.zip"]

[jwplayer mediaid="366" skin="http://preprod-licornpublishing.com/totemtv/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/six/six.xml"]

[jwplayer mediaid="366" skin="http://preprod-licornpublishing.com/totemtv/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/five/five.xml"]

[jwplayer mediaid="366" skin="http://preprod-licornpublishing.com/totemtv/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/five.zip"]



Can you help ?

The custom skins can only be set in the admin itself.

Thanks for your answer but I can't find in the admin where to set the skins.
I use a free licence of the player.

Ah, you need paid edition of the player to use custom skins.

Hello,

I purchased a paid edition of the player, and the previous method for adding a custom skin actually works when referring to the xml file of the skin.

But now I would like to know how can i set this custom skin to the player using the admin panel ?
Because I DO have a select list for chosing one the 8 "premium" skins for the player, but I can't find where to set my custom skin. I have uploaded it in the "skins" directory of the plugin, renamed the directory and the xml config file in the same way, etc, but I can't actually find my custom player into this list (nor any other custom skin I tried to install by the way...).

Can you explain me how to do so ?

Best regards

In the admin panel, once you have set your player key, you should have a drop down of skins to select from where you create/edit players.

I have the dropdown, but as I said, I can only select premium skins from this list.
Where do I have to put my custom skin in your plugin directory so I can chose my custom skin in this dropdown menu ?

You would have to add it via shortcode then.
