How do I properly update JWPlayer from 6.x to 7.2.4 - embed

Question

In the previous version of JWplayer 6.12, the following worked flawlessly.
<div id="video_0">Loading player</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//--><![CDATA[// ><!--
jwplayer('video_0').setup({
file: '/assets/super-cool-funtime-rah-rah.mp4',
image: '/assets/super-cool-funtime-rah-rah.jpg',
width: 600,
height: 338
});
//--><!]]>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer-6.12/jwplayer.js"></script>
However, upon downloading and unzipping 7.2.4, I attemtped the above. I changed only the version of the JWPlayer that was called.
I've run into a few minor problems:
clicking the video no longer starts it
various icons are missing
My code does not seem so different that what is exampled from their site. What am I missing? How do I properly construct the above code, allowing it to play with 7.2.x?

Answer 1

Your code looks fine. The issue is likely with how you are hosting the files. Make sure all the contents of the zip are added to the folder where you host jwplayer.js.
What happens if you change the script location to use our CDN? This way you don't have to download any zips or host the player assets yourself. It's also a lot clearer which version you are using:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ssl.p.jwpcdn.com/player/v/7.2.4/jwplayer.js"></script>
