I am currently using JW Player 4.0 on projects, its free, lightweight and have a lot useful features.
But, i got some problems with its latest versions. It always adding some special information, like player container resolution like this:

myvideo.flv?start=2659763&width=280&version=4.0&...

Result: cannot seek on the video.
Found a solution on ruby forum. http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/2307/patch.flv
You need only apply this patch to sources and rebuild nginx. That`s it.

P.S. Don`t know about older versions of nginx, but 0.6.32 from sources doesnt work with JW Player 4.0.
