# [Plugin: JW Player Plugin for WordPress] Changing media folder

 * Hey,
 * I’m working on a new blog and want to store my media on a sub-domain. I’ve went
   through the hassle of changing it in the settings, but it seems like I have a
   problem uploading player.swf.
 * First of all, the auto-install doesn’t work. So I’m trying to install it manually,
   where it gives me an option of uploading it. I keep getting player not detected
   message.
 * Should I change paths manually somewhere in the plugin code? I figured it would
   do it automatically.
 * Any help and info?

 * It seems like I’ve figured it out, but now skins are not changing. It seems like
   all skins in dir are zip files, is this normal?

 * [@viktorix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viktorix/),
 * The skins are meant to be zipped. The v5 player makes use of zip skins.
 * Thanks.

 * Would there be any reasons for skins to stop working when I changed my media 
   folder location?
 * I’ve reactivated the plugin so it created necessary folders and files in the 
   new “uploads” directory. The auto-install doesn’t work, so I downloaded player
   and uploaded it manually.
 * Skins were working fine with default media location in the beginning.
 * Thanks!

 * I don’t think changing the media location should matter as the skins are located
   in the plugin directory.
 * Do you have a link to your site so I could take a closer look at what’s happening?
 * Thanks.

 * So it looks like your crossdomain.xml file at [http://rittiger.com/crossdomain.xml](http://rittiger.com/crossdomain.xml)
   is invalid. If you fix this, it should start working for you.
 * Thanks.

 * Cool, thanks. Had to do research on it as it wasn’t even there.
 * In case someone needs this.
 * Create crossdomain.xml in your root directory, so url looks like:
    example.com/
   crossdomain.xml
 * Inside that file put:
 *     ```
       <cross-domain-policy>
       <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
       </cross-domain-policy>
       ```
   
 * Clear your browser cache, so it updates with the new skin!
