 * I’ve moved my WP directory to a subdirectory and also changed the wordpress url
   in admin settings. however, my jwplayer doesn’t detect this and returns an error
   message: Error loading media: file could not be played. What should i do?
 * Thanks

 * According to Firebug, this file is returning a 404 not found – [http://myscribblesite.com/wp-content/uploads/last_squat_day.mp4](http://myscribblesite.com/wp-content/uploads/last_squat_day.mp4)
 * If you go to that file, you will get a 404 page.

 * You are correct kind sir, my current WP folder has moved into a subdirectory 
   away from the root.

 * But that file is missing, hence you are getting the error.

 * Make the “file” in your code the absolute URL to that file instead, that should
   work.

 * I don’t see any shortcode that allows this. Using [http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/31560/jw-player-wordpress-plugin-reference#shortcodes](http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/31560/jw-player-wordpress-plugin-reference#shortcodes)
   as reference.
 * Adding via “Add external media” yields the same output, eg [jwplayer player=”
   1″ mediaid=”xxx”]

 * Or, just do this.
 * [jwplayer file=”[http://myscribblesite.com/app/wp-content/uploads/last_squat_day.mp4″%5D](http://myscribblesite.com/app/wp-content/uploads/last_squat_day.mp4″%5D)
 * Or, edit the file in the media library to point to the new reference.
