When I use the playlistItem() javascript call, the player starts playing the correct track but the playlist doesn't scroll down/up to that selected track. What I mean is with longer playlists the user doesn't see what started playing. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
Can I see a link to where this is running?

Where is the player on this page?
Sorry, I had to switch the above document for public access. The player is being displayed now.
This scrolls for me fine to the right location in the playlist when I click on a link.
When you click on a link it scrolls to the correct location, that's fine. My problem is with the initial track (in this case track #28, if you start counting from 0), when you first call the page - the player starts playing track 28 but it does not scroll to it. Maybe issuing a command to make sure the player is fully displayed before calling playlistItem() would do the trick? Could you please check line 91 in the HTML code and give me a hint?

You need to ensure the player is completely ready before loading a specific playlist item.
Try replacing:
jwplayer().playlistItem(28)
With:
jwplayer().onReady(function(){this.playlistItem(28);});

Odd, it does scroll for me.
Thanks for the hints. I replaced the initial call by including a 1 second delay (see below) and that does the trick.
setTimeout(function(){ jwplayer().playlistItem(28); }, 1000 );
Ah, nice.
