Problems with multiple playlists in wordpress

I am using the JWPlayer6 plugin in Wordpress 4.1

I added a playlist in wordpress using the JW Player Playlists under Media. I used the short code below and everything worked fine until I tried to add a second playlist.
[jwplayer playlistid="1" player="2"]

Once I added the second playlist the code above shows the second playlist and I can't get the first playlist to work. The first problem is that I can't find what the playlistid is. I tried 2 through 10 and tried using the names I assigned to the playlists and all of the players except the first one show the error message.

Error loading player:
No playable sources found

The playlists I am trying to create will have some of the same videos is both playlists but I tried making videos in the playlist unique and still had the same problem.

Do you happen to have a link to where you’re setting this up? I can definitely take a look.

To be clear, are you trying to add a second player with another playlist?

IE:
[jwplayer playlistid=“1” player=“2”]
and
[jwplayer playlistid=“2” player=“2”]

Or are you trying to use shortcode to add two playlists to a single player embed? If so, this is unsupported.

I tried adding a second player with a second playlist and adding a second playlist using the same player. Neither worked.
I am unclear on where I should find what the playlist ID so I am making guesses as to what the playlist id might be. I do not see any ID in the WordPress > Media > JW Player Playlists screen other than the names that I assign when I use the Create Playlist button.

Any Idea what I should be using as a playlist id?
I think that is my problem and I couldn't find an answer in the documentation.

Hi,

These are likely chosen based on the order that they were created. For example, the first playlist you create would have a playlist ID of 1
