Try this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
file: "/jw/hosting-comparison.mkv",
type:mp4,
primary:'flash',
image: "http://example.com/uploads/myPoster.jpg",
width: 640,
height: 360
});
</script>

http://www.sligs.com/jw/movie/city-hunter/city-hunter-eps-01.mkv is just a link to a page on your wp site, not an actual file.

this code should work, but your url to mkv is broken.
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
file: "http://www.sligs.com/jw/movie/city-hunter/city-hunter-eps-01.mkv", //broken link!!
type:'mp4',
primary:'flash',
image: "http://example.com/uploads/myPoster.jpg",
width: 640,
