Custom Skin


Hello.

I have downloaded the JW Player Skin SDK, and I am trying to simply use one of the skins on my player. I have uploaded the file labeled six.xml into a six folder. In that six folder, I have the appropriate folders created - controller, display, dock, playlist, and tooltip.

However, when I try to run the video, I get the following error:
Error loading skin: Incompatible player version.

I am using JW Player version 6. Here is the code and the link:

http://eclasses.nisd.net/osd/videos/test6/rtmp_single.php

jwplayer("myElement").setup({
playlist: [{
image: "star_trek.png",
title: "Star Trek",
fallback: 'true',
sources: [{
file: "rtmp://electra.nisd.net/vod/mp4:QL/Elem/quantum_elem.mp4",
},{
file: "http://electra.nisd.net/vod/QL/Elem/quantum_elem.mp4"

}],
/* captions: [{
file: "http://eclasses.nisd.net/videos/test6/FunkyX_caption.srt",
label: "English",
state: "true"
}],*/
}],
autostart: 'true',
primary: 'flash',
displaytitle: 'true',
/* width: '720',
height: '420',*/
controls: 'true',
stretching: 'fill',
aspectratio: "16:9",
skin: "six/six.xml"
});

I know it's probably some simple fix, but I'm not seeing where the break is. Thanks.

Your player looks fine to me. What are you seeing?

Yeah! I'm a little bit confused now. At first, it was not even working. Now it seems to be working just fine.

Not sure what happened.

BTW I did try to replace the HD button in the Six skin with a custom one, but it did not change. Is there something special I need to do before I simply replace a button?

Also...the single video seems to be taking the Five skin, but my playlist is not.

This is how I have it coded for the playlist:
<script type='text/javascript'>
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
playlist: "http://eclasses.nisd.net/videos/test6/playlist2.rss",
primary: 'flash',
fallback: 'true',
autostart: 'true',
height: 360,
width: 720,
skin: "http://eclasses.nisd.net/osd/videos/jwplayer6.1/five/five.xml"
});
</script>

Ok. It looks like I figured out what the initial problem was - I had a slightly older version of JW Player 6. When I pointed to the new files I had downloaded a few days ago, everything worked including the skin.

Now...my only question is regarding the control bar images. I want to replace the hdButtons to a custom image. I have replaced the images, but the player does not seem be taking it. Is there something I need to do before I replace the images?

Thanks!

You must base64 encode your images for the custom skin -
