          http://www.viriko.ru/cyprus-property-video-ru.html
          Path to video is correct, as is the path to the js files...

            Can’t get it to run multiple videos. Using a very simple call on an uncached page:

            <div class="picBox">[[JWPlayer? &src=`assets/flash/01.flv`]]</div>
            <div class="picBox">[[JWPlayer? &src=`assets/flash/02.flv`]]</div>

            It plays the second video inside the first call. Sure I’m doing something wrong, need someone smarter than me to tell me what that is.

              Just a quick look begs the question where is your player.swf?
              If it’s not in the site root, your path is wrong huh
              swfobject.embedSWF("player.swf", thePlaceholder, "480", "272", "9.0.115", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

                I’ve had the same problem. To fix this you need to edit two lines in a snippet:
                Line 95. Instead of :
                echo "<div id=\"player\"></div>\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"> \n";

                will work: 
                echo "<div id=\"$file\"></div>\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"> \n";



                Line 100. Instead of:
                echo "so.write('player'); \n";

                should be:
                echo "so.write(\"$file\"); \n";


                This won’t work if you call the same file in the same location twice or more on the same page (which is quite strange idea rolleyes). For example:
                [[JWPlayer? &src=`01.flv`]]
                [[JWPlayer? &src=`01.flv`]] ....will result single video output
                But:
                [[JWPlayer? &src=`01.flv`]]
                [[JWPlayer? &src=`/blah/01.flv`]] ... will create two outputs
                  ^^

                    Is there a way to have a just a start/pause/stop button that would play an audio file without displaying the player>

                      I’m not sure this is the best solution but you can do this:
                      On line 86 change $height instead of 320 to 20:
                      $height = (isset($height)) ? strtolower($height) : "20" ;   //default video height in px

                      Disable fullscreen feature on line 88:
                      $fullscreen = (isset($fullscreen)) ? strtolower($fullscreen) : "false" ;   //Enable fullscreen function

                      And finaly change player controlbar location from"over" to "bottom" on line 90:
                      $controlbar = (isset($controlbar)) ? strtolower($controlbar) : "bottom" ;   //Controlbar location options available: bottom | over | none
                        ^^
