This is an issue with your crawler - I don't think this is a Jamroom issue. The string "a_player" is not found in Jamroom, so you're crawler is messing up and generating bad URLs it is trying to follow.

Then is sounds like your crawler is picking it up and messing it up ... ?

responce from inspyder
note it seems to be an issue both with jr leaving "code snippets' behind when the url scanner detects a url and converts it
then the crawler interperates that as a relative url and adds it onto the url

I noticed that there are some links in the forum that are causing issues. We are looking into adding a feature to ignore processing blocks of content based on class type.

In your case:

http://www.dreadlockssite.com/dreadlocks-forums/forum/dread-products/69706/best-dreadlocks-shampoo-weekly-giveaway-new-updates/a_player/p=2

There is a link "..." following "Sam Newton said:"

The href is:

<a href="a_player" target="_blank">

This is a relative URL, so it is added to the base URL. This leads to page one of the topic, then it crawls to page 2 finding the same link again.

We will try to have a test build ready for you to try later today that will hopefully prevent this by not processing forum post text links.

They've found the source in that code:

<a href="a_player" target="_blank">

But not indicated the URL where that is coming out at. It doesn't look like a default skin thing, is it something you've added?

guess:
It looks like this url is what @sam-newton posted:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij19UWYHUvM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That looks like its being cut off, perhaps by URL Scanner to

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij19UWYHUvM&feature=youtube_gdat

and leaving the remainder of that

a_player

being set into its own new URL. I'll check that out. Thanks.

The problem looks to be those three dots there (screenshot).

Just need to figure out what is getting them there.

ok, found something irregular:
* When I click on the UPDATE TOPIC for the post with the three dots in it "..." what I see is this:

See the 2 screenshots. What I expected to see when I opened the edit view for that post was that the [ quote ] parts would be there, what is there instead seams to be directly input HTML. Not sure how that got there, but that being there is the root cause of the wrong URL.

On my site, the Media URL Scanner does not convert the urls that are inside the quote.
