Hello Group,
Just in case you missed the thread where I confirmed that this was a problem...
jPlayer 2.0.0 has a problem with relative URLs under some conditions. The Flash solution does not work with relative URLs for the formats M4A and M4V, which are the audio and video MP4 formats supported by the Flash.
The problem manifests itself as the relative URL being from the path of the SWF file Jplayer.swf.
While I will look into the issue, since relative MP3 urls are fine with the Flash solution, from now on, we strongly recommend using absolute URLs for all media. (Note that the HTML solution also works with relative URLs.)
Remember that if your media is on the same site, then you can use absolute URLs relative to the server root. For example:
"/some/path/to/my/media/elvis.m4a"
Best regards,
Mark P.
ps. This was reported in the group some time ago, but I failed to duplicate the problem. At the time, the problem was masked by the url rewriting that we do, so the relative path from the current page was the same as that form the JavaScript directory.
A new test was performed using the demo ZIP file instead. Immediately the issue became apparent. After further testing, it was found that only the Flash fallback with M4A or M4V formats were affected.
