In search of a new player, I stumbled upon this nice little thing.
@Nao: I think this should be the right replacement for jw-player.
It's also possible to display ads with it AND its VAST capable. This is something thats really expencive in other players (about 900 $). And this one if for free!
Just played around with it for a while and I'm really excited about it.
And the best of all: no problems with the license thingy.
