Description
The SWF file can't be called, resulting in a white box, because my file system is set to private. I believe the solution is to set a record in the files table for dashPlayer.swf. There might be more to it though, I'm not sure.
This is demonstrated by trying to access the player directly /?q=system/files/dashPlayer.swf and getting a "Page Not Found" error. I reported the same bug over at JQuery Media related to using JW Player. :-)
#1
Did you try "chmod 777" the directory where your player swf is located?
#2
Probably should be "775".... "777" basically means that EVERYONE can read, write, and execute the file. 775 at least prohibits anonymous users from writing to the file.
