External Media shortcode incorrectly using Permalink instead of File URL

    Since upgrading to WP 4.0 and JW for WP plugin versions 2.1.2-.8, I’ve spotted that the shortcode generated when inserting “External Media” (in my case RTMP from my media server) it is inserting the Media permalink, rather than the File URL.

    I can see that this is the case by reviewing the source of the page it is inserted into. See my DropBox hosted screenshot here… https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62195438/jwplayer-rtmp-shortcode-bug.png

    Note: I am following the normal WordPress “Add Media -> Add External Media” process as before the upgrade. Then pasting the generated shortcode into a custom field in the post. The theme then inserts this into the published Post.

    The workaround I have found is to manually include the file=”” value into the shortcode. Which also seems to support the idea that the automatically generated file location is wrong.

    I’m guessing this is probably a bug in JWURLImportManager.php which is resulting in it using the media’s Permalink, rather than File URL?

    Unfortunately, no. It’s an internal app for a UK school, hosted on prem, behind a local education authority (LEA) administered firewall. But I’m happy to give you more details, or answer any questions you have?

    I guess I just want to see this in action, since on our test blog and my local wp install don’t have the issue.

    Happy to take more screenshots, or short video, if that would help?

    I want to log in with my own tools to do some debugging.
