 * Possibly an error during download. Download it again.

 * This is a known issue. If you don’t have ZipArchive installed on your server 
   WordPress falls back to PCLZIP which doesn’t like nested .zip files. The error
   occurs because we include the JW Player zip skins as part of the plugin.
 * The workaround at the moment is to FTP the unzipped plugin directory to your 
   server.
 * Thanks.
