the new v.3.14 recognizes the .mp4 extension...
there are links to example playlists on the page [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Supported_Playlists]Supported Playlists[/url] (click "Players" top of this page)

3.14 and 3.15 don't recognise the .mp4 extension in playlists for me unless I hack it by adding
<meta rel='type'>flv</meta>
to each track entry.

Looking at the AbstractParser.as, seems that a mimetype of "video/mp4" is missing which presumably is why they aren't working in a playlist.

Hello! I am using JW player with the wordtube plugin in wordpress, i am using .mov as format, but have the same problem, my files plays without problem standalone, and it starts playing in about 5% buffering. But in playlist format, my movies wont play at all!

Somebody found the solution on this problem!?

another option is to rename .mp4 to .flv
player doesn't care it will still play it, and playlist is happy as well.
I use xxx.mp4.flv - so I know it's really mp4 and not .flv

Download latest JWplayer (3.16) and add <meta rel='type'>mp4</meta> ... it works

Add this line to the "setMimes()" function in your "AbstractParser.as" :

mimetypes["mp4"] = "flv";

OK, do I'm in 4.1.60.. and it still doesn't recognize .mp4 using type "video/mp4"

renaming to .flv works, but that defeats the purpose.

Bueller?

@Arc,

Is the *type* that you are referring to, the *type* flashvar, or the MIME type?

The *type* flashvar should be _video_ for all video files.

The MIME type that your server sends in the headers should match the media file type. For MP4 media container files, this would be "video/mp4".
