 * you have missed to post which plugin the shortcode belongs to.
 * is that stuff in square brackets really a shortcode? or does, whatever plugin
   it is, use regular expressions?
 * to find out, try:
 * `echo apply_filters('the_content','[jwplayer config="Out-of-the-Box" file="' .
   $urlbox[0] . '" image="http://www.mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg"]');`

 * Sorry, its JWPlayer Plugin, actually the shortcode is working on the post/page
   editor
 * **[jwplayer config=”Out-of-the-Box” file=”[https://s3.amazonaws.com/Kick_Fills_Previews/Kick+Fills+-+Linear+Pattern+-5](https://s3.amazonaws.com/Kick_Fills_Previews/Kick+Fills+-+Linear+Pattern+-5)..
