I need to upgrade the currently installed version of JWPLayer but I have no idea of how to do this through the C5 file structure.

Browse to dashboard -> view full dashboard then click update within the Simple JWPlayer Video Player block group. Once on this page click browse to locate the archive containing your updated player library then click save. A script will then run replacing the existing JWPLayer library within the add-on (assuming you have write permissions for the player directory). Get an updated version of the player library here: http://www.jwplayer.com/download/
