what are you trying to exclude the html5 player?
You are just trying to load a mp4 which is better with the html5 player anyway rather than flash.

It's working for me anyway but it is slow, I presume your server outbound is not very fast

Hi, there.

I’m also confused on what you are trying to accomplish. The video plays fine for me in Chrome and Firefox and, since you are playing an MP4, we suggest you continue using the HTML5 player. If you end up using Flash, it won’t be visible on mobile devices.

also, when you suggest continuing to use the html5 player, do you mean the jwplayer that is JS?

When I think of HTM5 player, I think of the browser's HTML5 player.

What i'm trying to accomplish is to put a player location for this tag that is referenced on this page. you will see the example on that pages use a flash player (swf):

<video:player_loc>

Hi, there.

We used to use that syntax with JW Player 5, since that was a Flash-only player. It no longer works with the newer versions of our player.

so what video player location address should I put for the tag below?

<video:player_loc>

Since we are not a hosting site, I would recommend you use the content_loc value instead of player_loc. The value of content_loc should be http://www.bluelinemedia.com/videos/how-to-advertise-on-buses.mp4.

So for my own understanding, there is no flash player component any longer? There is no URL that I can enter to force play in flash?

If you are self-hosting our player, you can add primary: “flash” to your setup code block. If you are using a cloud-hosted player, there is an option when configuring the player to always use Flash, if available.
