Hi Aran, I knew it would only take a second mind on the job. The player.swf was part of the JW media player package from Longtail Video itself so I'd assumed it would not be the cause of the problem. Following your observations I looked at the rest of the package and found it all to be corrupted and unreadable. I downloaded a fresh install and lo and behold it all works now. Many thanks for your amazingly quick response.
