This usually means you are trying to load a file in a nonsupported format in JW Player. A common case is the loading of a .wmv video, or a.mov video that doesn't use the H264 video codec.

W Player 7 officially supports 12 distinct media formats:
  • 3 video file types: MP4, WebM and FLV.
  • 3 audio file types: AAC, MP3 and Vorbis.
  • 3 streaming protocols: HLS, RTMP, and DASH.
  • YouTube videos, using the official iFrame API.
  • RSS feeds, using enclosures or the Media or JWPlayer extension.
  • JSON feeds

If You Use Chrome

Please make sure you have updated to the latest version of Chrome. This should solve the issue.

Additionally, you can also try these basic troubleshooting steps:

Delete your cache and cookies
Try Incognito mode

  • If you are able to open e-mail links within incognito mode, then temporarily disable your extensions to identify which one is causing the problem. To do this go to chrome://extensions and uncheck Enabled for each extension one by one.
Reset your browser settings

Turn off hardware acceleration
