Frustrated with JW Player/Wordpress/Amazon S3...Need Help

Hey Guys,

I'm in a bit of a pickle right now and I can't seem to figure out why my JW Player isn't working on my wordpress blog. I've watched countless videos explaining how to integrate the player into wordpress and use videos hosted on amazon s3 in order to get them to play properly yet nothing seems to be working.

Here's the process I've used so far:

1) When I'm in a wordpress page entry, I go to "Add Media"

2) From there I select "External Media"

3) Next I copy/paste my video link from amazon s3 (which I have made public) and paste that link into the URL box.

4) From there it prompts me to pick the settings I want and then I select "Insert JW Player".

5) From there I publish the page, but when I go to view it I don't see the video player anywhere and I just have a large gap on my page.

I'm not sure what to do and I'm extremely frustrated with this...Has anyone had a similar experience or could anyone help me through this process?

    Have you uploaded JW Player files to your server?

    PM me your URL for the website that's not working and the Amazon URL for the video.

    I've worked with tons of videos using this setup you explained.

    It works it's just hard to figure out. Did you watch the tutorial on the JWplayer wp plugin?
