 * Hi,
 * The new jwplayer 6 works great but have some issues.
 * **1.)** I want to clarify something. The old code will no longer work. Example:
   `[
   jwplayer config="audio" file="http://mylink.com/myfile.mp3"]`
 * Question 1: We need to use the “add external” media first then insert it to post?
   Coz the old “file” would not work?
 * **2.)** Its related to 1 above. The _file=”link”_ seems to work but does not 
   work together with the skins. Whether I use _config=”audio”_ or _playerid=”3″_.
   It only uses the default one. But when I remove the _file=”link”_ and use _mediaid
   =”1″_ the skins show. Btw, we upgrade to premium, so we can change skins via 
   settings.
 * **3.)** Some _config=””_ settings gives an error “skin missing”. I know its incompatibility
   from JW5, but we already have a lot of shortcode embeds on our site and this 
   is kinda annoying to change all of them.
 * **4.)** The video works great on IOS but the audio only does not. the width &
   height is like a video. Even if I add _height=”24″_ it does not take effect in
   IOS, is there a solution to this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * What was the solution to getting an audio-only file to display properly in iOS?
   I am having the same problem, where an mp3 file with a height of 24 displays 
   properly on a desktop, but on an iPhone it is too large, like a video – just 
   as you said.

 * This is an issue that we are going to fix with an upcoming player release. We
   set a min height on devices so right now a controlbar only implementation is 
   not possible.

 * I tried that shortcode, the video player comes up with the image displayed, but
   the when I click on the play button, it shows the spinning wheel like it is loading,
   but nothing else happens.

 * Funny, I just used that and it worked this time. I noticed the 0 and 1 with the
   HD options. Can you let me know what each one is?

 * If you are just using two files, then I would recommend updating the player to
   6.8, there won’t be a menu, just hd on or off.
 * Edit this file – jwplayermodule.php
 * And change:
 * define(“JWP6_PLAYER_LOCATION”, null);
 * To:
 * define(“JWP6_PLAYER_LOCATION”, “[http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/8/jwplayer.js&#8221](http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/8/jwplayer.js&#8221););

 * One more question. Enounce was working with JW5, but now our customers are having
   problems getting it to function with JW6. Any ideas / help would be appreciated.
