Skin not showing

Hi guys,

Tried the code below (as per the video), can't seem to get the skin to work. Can anyone advise what went wrong?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML Video and Audio</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <script src="mejs/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="mejs/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mejs/mediaelementplayer.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mejs/mejs-skins.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Video and Audio</h1>

    <div class="wrapper">

      <h2>Video Example</h2>

      <video width="852" height= "480" controls>
        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4">

        <track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="bridge-captions.vtt" default>
      </video>

      <h2>Audio Example</h2>

        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
      </audio>

    </div>

    <script>
      $('audio.video').mediaelementplayer({
        success:function(player,node) {
          $('#' + node.id + '-mode').html('mode: ' + player.pluginType);
        },
        startLanguage: 'en',
        translationSelector: true
        });

Hi, I noticed a difference in your code, you've put a dot instead a comma between the audio and video selector.

Try this:

 $('audio,video').mediaelementplayer({
        success:function(player,node) {
          $('#' + node.id + '-mode').html('mode: ' + player.pluginType);
        },
        startLanguage: 'en',
        translationSelector: true
        });
