Hi - First off I just wanted to say thanks for an awesome player.
Second, I just wanted to drop a quick shout on some solutions I've
found for common issues I've read about here, but haven't seen any
solutions:

1. Ratio issues. This is a simple fix - you just need to uncomment
lines 120 and 121. Not sure why these are commented out?

2. Skins. These don't have to be in the root directory. In the sample
html code, the flashvars line is split into several lines. For me, the
solution was just to compact it into one line and you'll see it works
great like so:

<param name="flashVars" value="skin=skins
%2Fdefault.swf&thumbnail=video-thumbnail.jpg&video=http://
f4player.googlecode.com/files/delicatessen.mp4&autoplay=0"/>

3. Thumbnail image smoothing. This was bothering me that the image was
not resizing smoothly. If you add this just after line 105, you get
nice smooth thumbnail images:

thumbnail.smoothing = true;

Hope that helps others. :)

Can anyone check this: http://goo.gl/mDyt5

My code

<param name="flashVars" value="
skin=skins/default.swf
&thumbnail=video-thumbnail.jpg
&video=/vids/VV3FTPU.flv
&autoplay=0
"/>

I have tried with an MP4 and I have tried with an FLV.. there is no
solution so far.

Aslo can you use the HTTP for skins, example

http://site.com/thumbmail.jpg
http://www.site2.com/cdn/skins-dir/3.swf

I tried .mp4 and .flv..

Thanks
