This is an issue that YouTube has updated something in their API to deprecate an old playlist method. The player will need to be updated in order to support this change.

And when will the Player/Plugin be updated?
🙂
Well, the plugin update is not relevant, this is a change that YouTube has made on their end that has affected the player only. However, it should only affect YouTube playlists, not single files.
I would try to specify the files like this:
[jwplayer file=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSE9Qk9wkig”%5D
Does that work?

It doesn’t just affect playlists, it affects single url’s…if you look at the screencap, it is adding the device support url’s and not the title of the video so something is wrong IN the plugin
The fix above works but then it kind of defeats the object of using the plugin to add external links
But, using your example above how would I add multiple files, as IN a Playlist if I am unable to add external links to then create a JW playlist
Well, the media manager creates single playlist items. You would have to use this for the time being, since really, this is entirely on YouTube’s end. If you try to load a YouTube playlist using their API, the first item is always going to be the device support video.

Well, until YouTube sort themselves out, the code privided does the trick so I`ll close this.
