Not sure what's going on but when I go to create the Media Player field type I get "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator" error.

In addition the "select a field type" and "select a widget" drop-down does not have the Media Player and is is red.

The Drupal log has the following:

Type: Form Illegal choice player in _add_new_field element.

Type: Form Illegal choice mediafront in _add_new_field element.

Update:

Tried a different browser (IE8; previously using Chrome).

Field saved, but then when going to Display fields get the same error.

Set teaser to hidden, full node has the player.

Saving results in illegal choice with the full node drop down in red and the media player option no longer present.

Log reveals: Illegal choice nodeplayer_player in field_video_player element.

Update: Solved

Well, I got it working.

I think what happened was -- I needed to create a file field FIRST (for the video file) BEFORE creating the Media Player field.

I actually assumed that the Media Player field was also the file upload field. That's wrong. The Media Player field just "reads" your File Field if my understanding is correct.

I must have missed that you need to add an additional File Field for the video file in a tutorial I was watching, but found reference to it with someone's problems about the field not showing.

So I put two and two together. Voila. Works.

I also gotta say that I love the module. I've been looking for a good video module for my site for a while. All the others seem terrible.

Also, I'm just getting into this module, but you can pre-roll ads? That's great.

I also saw your video about version 2 of the player you created for D7. Is there any chance of backporting it to D6?

Thanks, this thing rocks.

Update #3: Still getting the illegal choice whenever editing the display fields or adding other fields to manage fields.

Need to clear cache one or two times to get it to "catch."

Added: Also happening when editing the preset as well.
