JW Player Error – not working

One of things you have to do when you have a blog is take a look at what people are looking for when they come to your site – for about the last 8 months that has been JW Player and JW Player errors. If you want to look at thos – go to this jw player error post, or this post about jw player error 2036.

Common Issues

  • Cannot see jw player on the page
    Possible Fix: Almost always a problem with the javascript – generally the SWFObject will fail then too.Check for javascript errors and resolve those first – errors with or before the jw player embed can stop the video player too.
  • JW Player error #2048 or error #2032
    Possible Fix: Error 2048 is generally an annoying Windows error. Usually caused by outdated/corrupt files. Error 2032 is uaually a problem with the playlist. Sometimes the location and sometimes that the playlist is located at a different domain.
  • JW Player shows – but the video does not play
    Possible Fix: Most likey the video will not play because of security restrictions – videos must be on the same domain or use a playlist. Flash will often have too many security issues will block playlists. If you are using a YouTube video – make sure you are on JW Player version 5.6 and up…otherwise you’ll have issues.
