In order to use the JW plugins, you have to be using a 4.1+ player so if you are not using a 4.1+ player, it won't work. Secondly, I don't see anywhere in your player object code where you are calling your XML. There should be a parameter that calls the XML. Lastly, you will need to convert your XML to a PHP file so that it can be dynamically generated. The reason is because the code in the XML, by default, will not be parsed (via PHP or Smarty) because XML is client-side code and not server side code. Thus, all of the values must be present in the code before it is sent to the browser.
