Think I should let you know I had updated JW Player again this morning here:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player
and there are some improvement with this new release..
Also did the same with FFMPEG but I cannot feel a difference..
Anyhow,I can stream perfectly all kind of formats to my Android Tablet without any issues..The picture is just fine through WiFI...
Thank you! :P

Subsonic Player and ffmpeg update

To update JW Player to the newest version, go to http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5977

and read the instructions. Read the whole thread as you'll see there is the long way and the short way. I use the method I suggested as it seemed to be less time consuming. IF I want to know what version of the player I'm running, I'll just fo a right click on the installed player and it will tell me what version it is.

I just downloaded JW 5.7, extract player.swf, rename it to the current name in the subsonic/jetty/xxxx/webapp/flash folder and replace the original file. Rename JW Player 5.X to Old JW Player 5.X. then drop player.swf into the directory and rename it to JW Player 5.X when you're done it'll be named 5.X but if you right click on it in SS you'll se that it's really 5.7

ffmpeg - go to http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ and download the latest static build for your system. This site is for Windows builds. Check http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html for other OS's. I just extracted the ffmpeg.exe and replaced the file in C:\Subsonic\transcode
