Hi,
I've been trying for weeks to insert a skin to my JW player using the jq Media module. I tried to insert "&skin=/path" to param and flashvar. But nothing works.
I also tried to install swfobject to implement the skin through that as suggested here:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/implementing_skins.html
But seems like swfobject doesnt get used at all.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to insert the skin?
Thanks.

Try in admin/settings/jquery_media > Advanced settings > Flashvars set "skin:'http://www.full.url/to/skin.swf"

sweet. Works just perfect! Thanks alot.
When i use logo='path' it works as well. But do you know if it's possible to apply both a skin and a logo. I tried the following, but didnt work.
logo:'http://path'&skin:'http://path'

Hi,
Sorry to hijack the thread. This sounds interesting.
I am messing about with Camtasia.
When I save video as flash, the camtasia player's buttons and 'look' get saved separately as swf.
At the moment, I just upload the actual video part and use the jw player with jquerymedia module.
However, reading this thread, am I right in saying that if I upload the other
swf file that camtasia creates, the video will be 'skinned' with the camtasia
buttons rather than the jw player toolbar?
Thanks.

RTFM :)
From description of flasvars input:
So do not join more flasvars with "&", but setup them solo separated with ",".
This solution works, but it got one limitation (bug) in module core code.
Flashvars input filed is limited to 130 characters.
