Q about the images

Hi , i have 3 questions:
1. There is an image on the player screen on the bottom left that says "jwplayer"
after looking at YSlow it mentioned that it comes from this URL: l.longtailvideo.com/5/1/logo.png
Can i disable this? if not can i call it from my server to reduce DNS lookup?
It also list this:
v20.lscache7.c.youtube.com/videoplayback...Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag% ...

video-stats.video.google.com/s?ns=yt&doc...omeless&uga=m41&vid= ...

I have the youtube playlist...

2. I have enabled the Facebook and Twitter share icons and they work but i don't see the actual icons rather a blank cream color square, how do i show the blue FB icon like in your demo?

3. my youtube videos are in different sizes but for some reason i see black edges in the player, i tried changing to "Fill", "unifom" ect...non worked.
Is there a way to stretch the video to the player screen to fill it up completely?

This logo is the mark of the branded player, if you don't want it you havet to buy a license.

I have the youtube playlist...

Hi,

youtube video has recently changed his api, the stretching flashvars doesn't work for youtube.

only 4.5 version of JW Player can do it.

I am using the metarby10 (swf skin)
where can i get the license?
the first question is referring that there are a lot of DNS lookups that this module is producing. how can that be fixed?

All DNS lookup go to longtailvideo, there is two reason :

1 - The logo of the branded player is locate on their website, the unbranded player doesn't have this.

2 - The plugins are not store in the player itself but on their website

plugins.longtailvideo.com/

this to always have plugin up to date, so if you don't want lookup to plugins.longtailvideo.com you have two solution , you can disable plugin (!) or share the plugin yourself.

but this not possible for the joomla module without hack the code (for now)
it's possible only with the joomla plugin

like this

&plugins=http://yourwebsite/myplugin.swf

you can download the plugin here :

plugins.longtailvideo.com/

for example for facebook

plugins.longtailvideo.com/fbit-1.swf

some precision from longtail:

For player 4, plugins are located on plugins.longtailvideo.com. but for 5 they are located in a different place - plugins.longtailvideo.com/5/tweetit/tweetit-1.swf for example.

You can download the plugin there and then use plugins=http://www.yoursite.com/plugin.swf and it will work.

i am very confused here...instead of explaining again, can you actually help me on this by accessing the site?
If not then please explain the above...you put a lot of info...what is player 5?
what do you mean plugin? i need the player inside a module on the frontpage...not content
