And another addition to that: re-checking the longtailvideo.com website I found that for many players there are two skin versions available (usually version 1 compatible with JW Player 4.x & 5.x // version 2 compatible starting JW Player 5.x only).

Downloading the version 1 (which works for JW Player 4 and 5) includes the swf-file needed to skin the WordTube player.

Hi,

I had a similar problem with skins and probably found an answer for me which may help you as well.

Having downloaded Skins from longtailvideo.com today resulted (after unzipping) in a folder with an <Skin>.XML-file plus some other folders with resources (mostly pictures etc.). I could not address this in an appropriate way in the WordTube-Settings.

However, when checking my other (older) blogs where I am using a simple “Flash Video” plugin with skins, I found out that the old skins simply contained a <Skin>.SWF-file. Copying those into the upload folder and specifying this particular (single) SWF-file did the trick: the player is now “skinned”.

Hi Tim,

it is a problem with the name of the plugin-folder (especially if you use new “auto-upgrade” in WP 2.5, see here:

Should be fixed if you rename the plugin-folder for flashviewer to “nggallery-flashviewer” and for the NextGEN gallery plugin to “nextgen-gallery”.

Then deactivate, reactivate… should work.
