 * This is not a recent problem…..
 * with all caching plugins off
    The issue still is:
 * When tying to delete or save custom JW setup, I get this error message:
    >Warning:
   unlink() [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/fritzima/public_html/
   blog/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/framework/LongTailFramework.
   php on line 123.<
 * another screen message says
    >The ” Player was successfully deleted.< I would
   suppose the player name should be fully identified and be inbetween quotes.
 * I can also see that a ‘custom player your name.xml’ is not being saved to /uploads/
   jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/configs
 * I have spennt a lot of time trying to figure this out. The JW status is: JW Player:
   Installed (JW Player 5.10.2295 (Licensed version))
    JW Embedder: Installed
 * Per instructions The Plugin is in /wp-content/plugins and
    and the SWF&JS files
   are in /uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player
 * Chmod for both folders are set properly.
 * My next plan of attach is to deinstall and delete all traces of JW, and reinstall
 * Any suggestion before I have to dump and delete content.?

 * The contact-us email link you provided only sends me into the JW forum. I have
   spent the time outliniing my issue here. I don’t have the time to fix something
   that should work right out of the box or goto another forum to explain why this
   product does not work. I have decided to dump and discard your WP plugin from
   my site and move on and upgrade to another player which does work right out of
   the box and does not have the problems this one does and which has a less criptic
   support process.

 * My problem has not gone away. JW player cannot be customized in WP due to some
   sort of problem as I stated above. It actual makes JW player skin look like a
   piece of uglyness on my site, and I can not do a thing to fix it…. I looking 
   for alternative solutions to using JW as no one knows how to fix my problem, (
   and I have a commecial license)

 * Of coarse the player looks fine, 🙂 but it is the standard out of the box basic
   ugly skin, I cannot do any customizing to it!!!! The changes I make are blocked
   out or will not take. That is the problem that I am reporting….
