Flashvars in JW player 6

Question

I am migrating from JW player 5 to JW player 6. In 5 I am using flashvars to integrate akamai provider using swfobject, but embedding using swfobject is not supported in 6. Akamai has provided new plugin but not sure how to pass these in version 6.

Has anyone successfully integrated or have any idea how to pass these flashvars in version 6? Nothing regarding this is mentioned in user guide by akamai.

UPDATE

After seeing Ethan's answer, I am doing this, now I get "No playable sources found" error,

jwplayer('content_video').setup({
    'file': video_file_url,
    'controlbar': 'bottom',
    'width': '674',
    'height': '451',
    'primary': 'flash',
    'provider': 'http://players.edgesuite.net/flash/plugins/jw/v2.11/jw6/AkamaiAdvancedJWStreamProvider.swf'
});

The video_file_url is url given by akamai, it is something like the following:

http://domain.akamaihd.net/i/me/1988,_240p,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=st=1356418433~exp=1356420233~acl=/*~hmac=e534f60717c8b710dfdkfjkdfkvmffgklbb8844dc9d2cbce22c816

Let me know if I am missing something here.

Contacted Akamai and got it working, below is the sample taken directly from their sample file.

jwplayer("player").setup({
    playlist: [{
        file: 'http://multiformatlive-f.akamaihd.net/demostream_1_,300~300,800~800,1200~1200,@2131.usmil',
        provider: "AkamaiAdvancedJWStreamProvider.swf",
        type:'mp4'
    }],
    width:640,
    height:360,
    primary: "flash",

You can still use flashvars/variables in V6, but instead of using swfobject, you will have to use the JW Embedder (jwplayer.js).

Basically, in V6, the format is as follows:

variablename:'variablevalue',

Their provider is here - http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/jw/

We also have a V5 to V6 migration doc here - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28834/migrating-from-jw5-to-jw6

Hope this helps!
