easy

for example using an id of "video"

bc.. jwplayer('video').playlistItem(index);




Now since the playlist is a array and array elements begin with
0...n, you can explicitly enter a value in the above code.

In you case, since the second item has an index of 1 then to play that item

bc.. jwplayer('video').playlistItem(1);




Now here is a neat tip for you:

a playlist will sequentially play the next item on the list BUT by adding the following once an item has completed playing add the following under the onComplete event

bc.. jwplayer('video').stop();



This will stop the selected video/audio and let the user select any other item in the playlist.

I do this for all of my playlist on my web site.

There is an obvious advantage of doing this as once the video/audio has completed you could display a sponsor or even an advertiser for that item.

To see this in action visit the JWP6 examples on my web site

I'm working on my localhost, I have an ordered list when I select an item and load the playlist but from the beginning and what I want is to do it from the selected item.
