 * Hey @longtail guys, I need to remove the functionality of the fullscreen button.
   Please let me know how I can achieve this. Even if the link of the button is 
   nulled “#” that is fine.
 * I tried to remove icons and the relevant code from the xml file that was available
   at this directory `/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/
   skins/` but it does not have any effect on the player controls. In the view-source
   I can see that the player is streamed from [a url from your servers](http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/5/jwplayer.js?ver=3.6.1).
   Are the skins directly streamed from your server somehow too. ?

 * You can do this by making a custom skin with the full screen button removed.
 * We have a SDK available here – [http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/](http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/)

 * I downloaded the sdk and made changes and uploaded it to the directory `public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/` but the player still
   remains unaffected as there is no setting in the admin to choose skin in the 
   free version. FYI I use the free version.
 * On the other hand, I did a small test by having removed absolutely all the skins
   from `/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/` 
   directory and yet the player plays unaffected, which means that the skin is being
   served from your servers most probably. Hence the reason I asked in my initial
   question and am asking you again – **are the skins directly streamed from your
   server somehow ?**. Because if that is the case then there is **no way the solution
   you suggested is gonna work**.
 * We are truly grateful for such a great plugin. Forgive me but I think you have
   given me a misleading solution. If the solution I am looking for is only for 
   the paid version or such, just say so and I will consider buying it. This is 
   a second time I got such a vague reply from you guys. First time was in [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/handles-to-remove-script-calls-from-the-pages-that-do-not-need-jwplayer?replies=9).
 * Hoping for a good change.

 * You can try now. I was doing some maintenance work on other domains. BTW it is
   just a fresh wp-install and there is no other plugins except _jwplayer for wordpress_.
   It was installed only to make tests on this specific issue. I have already explained
   my entire case. Hope you can help.

 * Ok, I see the player now.
 * A few follow up questions:
 * – What is the shortcode for this post?
    – Where does the skin xml file that you
   made reside on the server? – Have you set the skin in the drop down when you 
   created the player? I ask this because I do not see the “skin” being set in the
   player when I view the source.

 * 1. The current shortcode i use is `[jwplayer mediaid="19"]`
 * 2. I did not made any skin xml file and yes as I already mentioned earlier twice,
   it resides on /public_html/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/
   skins/facebook/facebook.xml. What I did is deleted all the other zipped skins
   unzipped “facebook” and hoped this one would work if called in the shortcode 
   as [jwplayer mediaid=”19″ skin=”[http://southcast.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml”%5D](http://southcast.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml”%5D)
   as [mentioned here](http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/addons/working-with-wordpress/32716/custom-skin-in-wordpress/)
   but it does not work. And again as I mentioned earlier the skin seems to load
   from somewhere else and I am looking into the wrong directory. I asked it twice
   earlier if jw6 loads the skin directly from its servers, the answer to which 
   I still havnt got !
 * 3. There is no skin drop down, as mentioned earlier I am running a free version.
 * I hope you will not end up saying, the feature you are asking is only possible
   in the paid version.

 * Hi,
 * I would use this shortcode:
 * [jwplayer mediaid=”19″ skin=”[http://southcast.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml”%5D](http://southcast.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml”%5D)
 * However, the reason that this did not work is because this file ([http://southcast.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml](http://southcast.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml)),
   returns an error:
 * Forbidden
 * You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-
   wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook.xml on this server.
 * Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
    Apache Server at southcast.in Port 80
 * So there is an issue with permissions on your own server.
 * My default, the player skin is actually embedded into the player itself, so it
   does not load from our servers, or yours, it’s built into the SWF / JS.
 * However, the shortcode that I mentioned, and that you also tried, should work,
   but your file is not accessible…
 * Hope that helps . . . .

 * @Longtail I made the correction in the url and my final shortcode looks like 
   this.
 *     ```
       [jwplayer player="1" mediaid="19" skin="http://dump.teamcomm.in/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/skins/facebook/facebook/facebook.xml"]
       ```
   
 * Plugin loads the video fine but it simply ignores the skin mentioned in the url
   and loads the default skin ( which you said is embedded within the player). I
   cannot see it loading in the view-source as well.
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript'>if(typeof(jQuery)=="function"){(function($){$.fn.fitVids=function(){}})(jQuery)};jwplayer('jwplayer-0').setup({"aspectratio":"16:9","width":"100%","primary":"flash","image":"http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/NugRZGDbPFU/0.jpg","file":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NugRZGDbPFU"});
       </script>
       ```
   
 * If the player refuses to load the skin, there is no use editing the skin right?
   So I am back to square one.
