We tested on the IE9 beta, and it was working then, but we haven’t tested yet for IE9. Could you provide a link to a page that’s not working for you?

Same thing happens here, IE9 RC and no jwplayer shows up, including the one in the main page of longtail website, for some reason it just refuses to "draw" everything, except the right click menu, which shows as it should, the rest is only a all white square where the player should be.

I’ve confirmed that the JW Embedder has a bug which prevents the Flash player from being embedded in the IE9 release candidate.
I’ve submitted a patch to the jwplayer.js library, which you can download here:
http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/trunk/fl5
This bug fix will be officially included with the upcoming 5.5 player.

I can confirm the issue. I’ve created a bug ticket to address the issue in a future player update. http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/ticket/1249
The bug is related to the JW Embedder (jwplayer.js), so you should be able to work around it for now by using SWFObject with a browser-detect.

I have just uploaded the 5.1.827 player.swf (unlicensed) instead of the current licensed version we bought.
v5.1.827 works in IE9 with the latest MS updates applied to maybe that is a temporary workround for you.

This issue should be fixed using the latest version of the player (5.5). You can download it here:

Using the IE9 RC 64bits (9.0.80.80 16413), and using the code bellow it is still not working (it works on IE8, FF, Chrome):
bc.. <div id="VideoPlayer">
Loading the player...
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("VideoPlayer").setup({
flashplayer: "/JWPlayer/player.swf",
height: 360,
width: 640,
file: "video.flv"
});
</script>
Do you have any information about this?

@Drew, @Littlebens -
Could you post links to your test pages? IE9 appears to be working with 5.5 in our tests.
Please note, you’ll need the 5.5 versions of both player.swf and jwplayer.js

@PabloS,
thank you for your reactivity. I updated my version of jwplayer.swf and jwplayer.js from trunk and now, the player display correctly but when I click play, the FLV file is directly proposed as a downloaded attachment.
By the way my developments are not on Internet right now then I can't show you the result.
Do you have any ideas?
By the way, I start the video using the jwplayer.setup and not the swfobject.js loader.
Regards

I've got something similar.
IE9 says the video could not be loaded or the format is not supported. Enabling "compatibility view" in IE9 and the video loads fine.
Sample page is available at http://webdev2.otago.ac.nz/jwplayer.html
I'm currently using the latest version (5.5.1652) from trunk.

ADDENDUM
Changing the mode order to put flash first rather than html5 also fixes the issue but I'd rather have the html5 first with flash fallback.

Crap. Thanks Zach. Interesting that IE9 is a lot more strict on this sort of thing now.

Same problem for me in IE9, and the 5.5 version make it works fine. I changed the js file jwplayer.js as indicated.
This is my code if that could help : bc.. <div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("container").setup({
autostart: false,
//controlbar: "none",
//flashplayer: "<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/videos/player.swf",
file: "<?php echo $video_src ?>",
height: 322, width: 572,
image: "<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/video-poster.jpg",
players: [ { type: "html5" }, { type: "flash", src: "<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/videos/player.swf" }],
title:'<?php the_title(); ?>', description:'<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>',
volume: 10
});
</script>
Thanks
