On Click not loading rtmp stream

<a href="#" onclick="jwplayer('VideoPlayer').load({file:'video.mp4',provider: 'rtmp',streamer:'rtmp://10.10.1.1/vod'}).play();">Title</a>

This use to work on jwplayer 6 and every other version. Version 7 isnt working.

Ive tried
<a href="#" onclick="playerInstance.load({file:'video.mp4',provider: 'rtmp',streamer:'rtmp://10.10.1.1/vod'}).play();">Title</a>

and many other ways to load the video, Ive changed the video embed to
<div id='VideoPlayer'>Loading the player ...</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var playerInstance = jwplayer('VideoPlayer');
playerInstance.setup({
file: 'rtmp://10.10.1.1/vod/mp4:video.mp4',
image: 'http://10.10.1.1/jwplayer7/video.jpg',
});
</script>

The RTMP is working, the player loads the default video, but when I click my linked video I get: Error loading media: File could not be played.

<a href="#" onclick='playerInstance.play()'>Toggle playback</a> does work, it allows the player to play a video with an external link.

I know the player is setup correctly and that the external play button will work. I also know the RTMP streaming is working correctly. I just dont know if my video is being loaded, or do I need to change the provider terminology.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, there!

Can you please give me a link to a page where you have the affected player installed?

Thanks!

Try formatting your configuration as per the working setup - specifically include the streamer application and video file details in a single "file" parameter:

<a href="#" onclick="jwplayer('VideoPlayer').load({file:'rtmp://10.10.1.1/vod/mp4:video.mp4',type: 'rtmp'}).play();">Title</a>

"provider" should be switched to be "type" (although it shouldn't really be needed as the URL indicates it is an RTMP source)

Figured it out finally. Had to change a bunch of stuff, and a library of over 1000 videos, I will have to do some fancy foot work.
My configuration is embedded into SharePoint. A simple list just gets filled out with the video title, application or location and folder. You can also add a thumb, and running time and SharePoint does the reset. Pretty cool for a Video Library.

Hope this helps someone else.

<div id='VideoPlayer'>Loading the player ...</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var playerInstance = jwplayer('VideoPlayer');
playerInstance.setup({
