JPlayer with .flv files

Question

I hate using these because I can never find a tutorial for them.

I have a jPlayer that I am trying to use to play .flv video files. I have been looking for a tutorial on how to use jPlayer but everything I can find is either complete garbage, or does not show any code what so ever, just the end product (very helpful, I know).

Here is how I make my jPlayer:

//Creates the JPlayer for that video
$('#videoPlayerDiv').jPlayer({
    ready: function () {
        $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
            flv: videoLocation
        }).jPlayer("play");
    },
    supplied: "flv",
    swfPath: "jPlayer/js"
});

videoLocation is a location to each video file. I have already tested the location and it is correct. When I run the page I get the video box to show up, but I cannot get it to play, or show any video file location.

If anyone can find an issue (or a tutorial) that would help me out a lot.

Answer 1

Try this:

$('#videoPlayerDiv').jPlayer({
    ready: function () {
        this.element.jPlayer("setFile","path/to/flv/video/file.flv");
    }
});

EDIT: OP decided to use flowplayer instead of jPlayer.
