jwplayer cant detect if my video changes

Im using jwplayer, this is how I install it:

jwplayer("flowplayer1").setup({
    file: '/path/to/video.flv',
    width: '100%',
    height: '100%',
    autostart: true,
    stretching: 'exactfit',
    ratio: "100%",
    responsive: true
});

the problem is, when this video.flv changes, the player plays the old video. It cant detect if the video changed on the disk, even if I refreshed the browser (newest Firefox)

The issue is not linked to JWPlayer, but with your browser cache. You can try to

  1. Refresh the page with CTRL+F5
  2. Clear the cache
  3. Test into another browser
  4. Launch another Firefox instance with another user profile

  5. add ?version=X at the end of your file to force browser cache invalidation

    file: '/path/to/video.flv?version=X',
