upgraded to 5.1 - now nothing works properly

[Thunderbunny]

Video: I travel. I used the JWPlayer which let me set the bandwidth. Now I get the VLC plugin needing to be accepted and it does not provide me the same flexibility AND the damned thing does not work. VLC plugin sux for me.

The new interface pops music playlist up over my screen -- and continues to play music when I start a video.
-- Who thought this would be a good idea?!

I am not interested in hacking the f---ing interface or the like. I want the previous functionality. I diod nothing special ... it just worked.

How do I get JWPlayer back?

I already downgraded my install at home (I VPN'd in) but the UI still is the new and useless in behavior.

How do I get the previous JWPlayer to work again?
