What I've come to discover is that I was not seeing the first video in the playlist. It has to do with this flashvar

Code:
so.addVariable("file",escape("http://www.sportsgamingtv.com/flvideo/testlist.php?file=118824154064749921"));
118824154064749921.flv was the first file in the playlist, so when I saw it, I thought the play list was starting, but not continuing. However, I've since removed it from the playlist file entirely, and that is still all that I am getting. So doing the flashvar in that manner must simply be pointing the player to that file.

Of course, when I remove the ?file=118824154064749921 part of the flashvar nothing will load, so I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.
