Hi Manish!

I don’t see a record of your license purchase. Could you confirm the domain on which you are working please?

Thanks!

Hi Ed!

Thanks for asking.

1. FV WordPress Flowplayer is the free version including RTMP and HLS streaming, social sharing, subtitles, Google Analytics and skins.
2. FV Player Pro includes Amazon S3 secure content, advanced advertising possibilities, advanced video lightbox, video quality adjustment.

You need FV WordPress Flowplayer. FV Player Pro is optional (but you need it for the advanced functionality).

You can compare free and pro video plugins here.

FV Player Pro is the most powerful video plugin available for WordPress at a fixed price (i.e. other than weird enterprise subscriptions with hidden pricing).

Thanks for using FV Plugins!

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the update. I’m glad to hear FV Simpler SEO works on your hosting with the default them and even on your single posts and archives.

Troubleshooting your particular custom theme would be a pro support incident.

We’d love to help you clear this up. If you find the solution on your own, we’d also be very grateful if you could share your solution with others.

Thanks for trying FV Plugins!

Yes! Keep those meta descriptions pithy. Don’t use maximum characters but more like 130 or less.

Hi Bedros,

Google is not obliged to use the metadescription. They often do but go back and forth between using it and generating their own. Have you checked your source code to make sure the metadescription is turning up in your theme?

Yes, Bob, we fix people’s websites in exchange for payment. Marketing themes are usually the worst coded WP templates out there.

If you’d like our help with your website, please pick up a pro support incident.

Hi Bob,

We’d be happy to solve this for you if you pick up a pro support incident.

Cordial regards,

Alec

PS. As far as I can see you are not a licensed user. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi Martin,

People should know the length of videos they are posting or should include it in video metadata. Calculating video length on the fly should not be a priority.

Thanks!

Hi enpopular,

This definitely works perfectly with Vimeo now.

Hi Anonymous,

The licenses for Amember Flowplayer and FV Flowplayer are different. FV Flowplayer has a great deal of functionality that the Amember Flowplayer does not have:

• automated video encoding checker
• Text Ads (Google AdWords or your own)
• pre-roll, post-roll video (i.e. video ads)
• playlists
• full RTMP streaming compatibility
• mobile video support with flash fallback for some Chrome versions
• secure Amazon S3 and Cloudfront playback
• Advanced Vimeo Pro hosting support
• basic YouTube support (more coming)
• video lightbox

If some of these are of use to you, I hope you will join us as a user and supporter of FV Player Pro.

Hi Debbie!

I’m sorry to hear about your CSS issues. Theme builder is probably the culprit. We’d be happy to solve your theme issue hands on. Just order a pro incident and we’ll fix your theme for you.

Hi Werner,

All you can do is disable NextGenGallery’s javascript on non-NGG pages. Same can be done with FV Flowplayer. Then don’t mix the two.

NextGenGallery is at the top of my list of worst WordPress plugins. Poisoned many a site build in the day.

Thanks for being part of Foliovision!

Thanks for the updated report, Chan!

Hi Chan,

Over here you mentioned that FV Player Pro does work with Rackspace CDN.

Does it?

Hi Chan,

We recommend Vimeo Pro hosting at $200/year for unlimited videos. Our FV Player now wraps Vimeo Pro perfectly with no Vimeo chrome.

If someone is going to do something like this it should be custom code on the site only. FV Simpler SEO was conceived to offer intelligent defaults and fail safe settings.

Hi Donald,

We’re looking forward to your RTMP test results!

Our honest recommendation Kamal at this point is that if you want to use Foliopress WYSIWYG pick either Safari, Chromium (we never recommend Chrome, it’s spyware) or Firefox.

Thanks for trying FV plugins!

Hi Gary,

I’m sorry but we were not able to replicate the “Slow down you move too fast” signup issue but are looking carefully at workflow.

Thank you so much for taking the time to report the issues.

Making the web work for you, Alec

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the bug report! We’ll take a look.

Hi Roger,

If you’d like to file a pro support incident, we’d be happy to accelerate these upgrades. Foliopress WYSIWYG is freeware and we’ve put many hundreds of hours into it. Strangely people still prefer the broken and overly complex WordPress image posting system. The WordPress text editor has gotten better but I still prefer our version, it’s much more resilient to complex posts.

HI Dirk,

In that case, we won’t be able to help you.

When you are using our software come back and see us.

Making the web work for you, Alec

Hi Timothy,

Martin will look at your site today. Thanks!

Hi Alfredo,

We’ve retired Link Robot and don’t have anyone actively working on it. Paid support is still available. If you’d like help solving your issues, please file a Pro Support request.

Thanks for trying FV Plugins!

Hi Nicole,

I kinda thought the player was containing 100% of flowplayer with amazon s3 connection coded in.

We have 100% of Flowplayer.org functionality plus a load more custom functionality and integration into WordPress which we’ve programmed. You can change the player CSS as much as you like to add another skin. What we do not have right now is multiple skins in a single website (which doesn’t sound like a particularly useful feature to me, outside of websites for small children: FV Flowplayer is focused on useful features like advertising, security and efficient workflow, not eye candy and bells and whistles).

If you’d like to have us build the custom template and posting interface for your client, please be in touch via a support ticket and we can quote you for any custom programming.

Hi Nicole,

I’m glad we were able to help. We’re happy to keep improving the code of our video player. We aim to be the most feature rich and easiest to use video player on WordPress.

Most of the advanced functionality which works with Flowplayer works directly in our plugin.

Thanks for being part of Foliovision!

Hi Martin,

It should be added as an optional extra, turned on by default (i.e. if someone wants to use two video players, they can turn it off, but we’ll assume if they have installed FV Flowplayer they would prefer to use FV Flowplayer).

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

I think you answered your own question. Fix your template/theme. Add the wp_footer()hook.

If you’d like to order a pro support incident we could fix your template/theme for you. Having proper WP header and footer hooks is essential for many other plugins as well.

Thanks for trying FV plugins.

Ours are set up to be moved to the service of your choice via CSV, before implementing the final solution.

No, you’ll have to set up a newsletter service.

Hi Teri,

I have some more suggestions for you if you’d like a DIY fix.

There some information about what appears to be the same issue in our FAQ. Look for “I installed the plugin, inserted the video, but it’s not working, only a gray box appears.”

You could also search for OptimizePress in the forums for a similar case.

Let us know if you can handle it on your own or if you’d like pro help.

Thanks for using FV Plugins!

HI misplon,

Thanks for writing.

I’m afraid you do not have an FV Flowplayer license.

You would have to cross-grade. We do have an offer available. Please fill out the form here: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/crossgrade

Thanks for trying FV Plugins!

Hi Alf,

You’re welcome.

What underlying systems do DFP and LiveRail work on?

Currently you can add your own ads. So probably adding the external video services would be custom coding.

Making the web work for you, Alec

I am sorry to hear you are having issues and would like to help.

Hi Radu,

Do you have a FV Flowplayer 5 license? If not, this site-specific issue would be covered by a Pro Support Incident. I’m sure if you changed your theme the problem would go away. And FV Flowplayer 5 probably works on most Gantry sites (probably something specific to your set up). Again, this is web development and not plugin support.

Thanks for trying FV Plugins!

Hi Janna,

The playlist feature will remain in lightboxes attached to the post for the forseeable future: at Foliovision we prefer front end editing attached to the content in question. It’s a much faster workflow. Check out our Thoughtful Comments and FV Simpler plugins for examples of simple front end editing from Foliovision.

We may add advanced backend playlists in the pro version at some point. Someone will have to make a convincing business/use case for backend playlists first. Feel free to be that someone.

I don’t know if you noticed but the playlist feature is brand new feature. Right now we are working hard on functionality before cleaning the user interface (we followed this process for the main player as well. If you have any clear ideas on how playlists should look feel free to forward them.

Hi Sergio,

My first thought is that I wouldn’t mix Cloudfront in with Amazon S3 and restricted content. Amazon S3 and Cloudfront are largely redundant in any case.

We’ll need a WordPress admin login to take this further. Please send it to support@foliovision.com.

Thanks!

Hi tao83,

Thanks for the detailed report. We will get the out of memory issue sorted Monday or Tuesday at worst. In the meantime, please use 2.1.34.

Thanks for being part of Foliovision!

Hi HTA,

We’d be happy to troubleshoot your site.

Individual site checks are available to license holders or as a Pro Support Incident. The license is a better deal.

HI Iain,

If you file a pro support request, we’ll troubleshoot this issue directly on your site.

Hi Ed,

If the Google sitemap feature requires full paths, that is probably more an issue for that end of the software than for FV Flowplayer. We can use full absolute paths on our end but I’m not sure if people would be very happy about it (requires additional connections) and we’ve had hosting companies complain about absolute paths on internal media.

Creating absolute paths on publish is no problem whatsoever if we can establish that absolute paths won’t create worse problems of their own.

Hi Lucy,

We’ll take a look at your issue next week.

Thanks for the report.

Hi Ed,

We’ll get these issues sorted, thanks for the repot.

Hi Bryan,

Martin is away on vacation until the end of this week, but we’ll get you a detailed and specific answer as soon as he comes back. If we aren’t back to you by Tuesday, just drop a reminder on this thread.

The general answer is you should be able to do it with CSS classes but we’ll let you know exactly which ones in the detailed answer.

Hi Fkuhrog,

As far as we can see you are not a licensed user of FV Flowplayer 5. Please purchase either a Pro Support Incident or a license if you’d like further help with your theme and site specific javascript.

Thanks for trying FV plugins!
