Flash application reads XML playlist - but only if I direct it to the source template? | Community Support

Hey all,

I’m having a strange issue with JW Player, a popular video application. It makes you create an XML playlist - no problem for EE 1 or 2 to generate. However, it’s having an issue where it only reads from the EE template itself, but not the generated URL.

So the player reads easily from this…

http://mysite.com/system/template_files/video/playlist.xml

but not the resulting URL that EE generates (with index.php removed), which is this:

http://mysite.com/video/playlist

Anyone have a clue why this might be the case?

I’m forced to use EE1 for this project till we can upgrade; I’m using EE 1.7.1 (and JW Player 5.7.).

I’d really rather not reveal the location in the source code (you can see EE control panel and templates location when you “view the source” of the doc). Perhaps not a big deal, but I think that the JW Player should be able to read the generated template.

Thanks, Rob
