My flash videos were playing fine a week ago, but I recently installed vbTubePro and then the videos in LDM were not showing. Not sure if it's because of vbTubePro, but I can't recall working on anything else besides LDM and vbTubePro this past week. Anyways, here's the bug and solution fix.

Problem: the JW wma/wmv player does not show if the window mode is not transparent/ windowless.

Solution:
1. Edit links_playerbit_JWwmPlayer template - FIND:

file:?$player_stream?

After that ADD:

background:?transparent?, windowless:?true?,

2. The old 1.0 JW Silverlight player can't handle the background parameter, so download the new JW Silverlight media player at: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=jw_wmv_player

3. Add the JW prefixes to silverlight.js, wmvplayer.js, wmvplayer.xaml (ie: rename to JWsilverlight.js) and overwrite the files in the /forum/clientscript folder.

Problem: the JW flash player does not show if the window mode is not transparent/ windowless.

Solution:
1. Edit links_playerbit_JWPlayer template - FIND:

ldmso$player_id.addParam(?allowfullscreen?, ?true?);

Before that, ADD:

ldmso$player_id.addParam(?wmode?, ?transparent?);

2. The current JWPlayer for Flash works with this modification. However, the new JWPlayer 4 is available and also compatible with this edit. It's available at: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player

Hope that helps people having trouble displaying videos using the JW players
