I don't know whats causing the problem but the echo do_shortcode is not working on my theme's template, but its working on my plugin's template and the shortcode is working on my posts and pages. Pretty weird. Here's the code

?php 
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=video postposts_per_page=10');
while ($my_query-have_posts()) : $my_query-the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post-ID; 
?

    li
    h3a href = "?php the_permalink();?"?php the_title();?/a/h3
    ?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?                          
    p 
    ?php the_excerpt();?
    ?php                                       
    $urlbox = get_video_box();

    echo $urlbox[0]; // echo out the url of a post                     
    echo $urlbox[1]; // echo out the url description of a post
    echo do_shortcode('[jwplayer config="Out-of-the-Box" file="' . $urlbox[0] . '" image="http://www.mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg"]');
    ?          

    /p
    /li

?php endwhile; ?

I am using the JW player plugin, again, the shortcode is working on the plugin's template and post/page . but on my theme's template its not working.. please help me here. Thanks

jwplayer_tag_callback() does not work anymore, you'll get a fatal error telling you the function is not defined.

Instead insert a player programmatically like this:

echo JWP6_Shortcode::the_content_filter( '[jwplayer file="'. $videoUrl .'"]' );

(Found here.)

According to the developer of the jwPlayer it was necessary to implement the plugin as a filter to be able to support '.' in tag attributes. Hence do_shortcode(..) does not work but jwplayer_tag_callback(..) will return the desired result.

Matching your example simply execute:

echo jwplayer_tag_callback('[jwplayer config="Out-of-the-Box" file="' . $urlbox[0] . '" image="http://www.mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg"]');
