Export videos

Hello Bruno,

currently the plugin lets you only export the player instances on by one and then import then on the new website. The problem is that it doesn’t keep the player IDs, so you would also have to update the articles.

So the safest way is to export all the wp_fv_player_* tables (wp_fv_player_players, wp_fv_player_videos, wp_fv_player_playermeta, wp_fv_player_videometa) using the database tool like phpMyAdmin which is available in most web hosting control panels. And then import that using similar tool on the new website.

The splash images are only stored as links, so you would have to do some search and replace in that database table if you need to change the domain in these.

I see that a mass export feature with the option to keep the player IDs would be usefull here.

You probably also want to keep the plugin settings. These can currently only be moved with a database tool, although if you put the two settings screen on both website side by side it’s not a problem to move over the settings. In database the settings are stored in the fvwpflowplayer and fv_player_popups rows of the wp_options table.

Another option to consider would be to clone the whole website and then delete the unnecessary parts. I did that a couple of times where I needed an almost identical website.

Thanks,
Martin
