Can someone help me get the right kickbacks

Answer 1

works fine for me as stated in the documentation:

 <div id="container"></div> jwplayer("container").setup({ file: "http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/nPripu9l-60830.mp4", flashplayer: "http://player.longtailvideo.com/player.swf", image: "http://content.bitsontherun.com/thumbs/nPripu9l-480.jpg", height: 270, width: 480 }); var state = jwplayer("container").getState(); var elapsed = jwplayer("container").getPosition(); 

Answer 2

What does your HTML and JavaScript look like? Without seeing them, I can only assume the following.

According to the API documentation on the website, this can be achieved without specifying a container, e.g. ...

 jwplayer().getPosition()
