JW Player - Only a black screen, sound works


i have a problem with the JW Player (http://www.longtailvideo.com).

The sounds works but the screen is black. But why? Hope someone can help me.

JS

   $('body').append('<div id="mediaplayer"></div>');
    $.getScript('http://player.longtailvideo.com/jwplayer.js', function ()
    {
       jwplayer("mediaplayer").setup({
         flashplayer: "http://player.longtailvideo.com/player.swf",
         file: 'http://www.n-tv.de/podcast/mp4/wetter/33sekunden_1105161548.mp4',
     autostart: "true"
    });
       $('#mediaplayer_wrapper').css('z-index','107').css('width','853px').css('height','505px').css('padding','10px').addClass('bg_one').center();
    });

Here is an example http://jsfiddle.net/yMh5r/4/

Thanks in advance!

JW Player has support mp4 video only encoded with H.264. So, you should try to re-encode your files. For example you can use VLC for it:

cvlc -I dummy -vvv example_input_file.mp4 –sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264, vb=1024, acodec=aac, ab=128, channels=2}:standard{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=example_output_file.mp4} vlc:quit

VLC has support for re-encoding remote files and can save them to your local directory, too.

Check the encoding of your mp4 file - we've had the same issue with our mp4 files in the past, and it was the encoding to blame. Sorry I don't know exactly what our video guys did to fix it though. :(
