Hi Martin,
Yes, I have flash installed (it just did an update on Saturday).However, I just spoke to my client and the videos are all working for him in IE – so let’s just ignore what’s happening on my computer. :)
re: the logo
*sigh* no, the code up above isn’t working.
This is an issue for us because it covers some mouse movements in our screencasts
Martin, I realize that. I was just pointing out what the differences were with the previous version I had.
re: the CSS
yes, last week I put it in our own theme’s CSS. I just checked, and it’s still there. The way I fixed it last week was to insert the image from the WP library and told it to right-justify. I just tried that again and it doesn’t work this time.The IE issue has now just gone crazy. (see post above immediately following yours)
FYI – so far I have the following info:
Client is using:
IE version 11.0.9600.17107 on Windows 7 PCI’m using:
IE version 11.0.9600.17107 on a Windows 7 PCI also tested with my old personal laptop:
IE 9.0.8112.16421 on Windows Vista
(Chrome & Firefox ok)I also see that there on the microsoft.com website that there was a security update for IE on May 13. Could that be what’s causing the problem?
I just installed it Martin. Sometimes the videos play in IE, sometimes they ‘hang up’ and don’t, sometimes they play behind the button image, sometimes when you click to “pause” – it shows the webpage (as if it was in an iframe) instead of being able to click next for the next video.
…and sadly… now the videos start automatically (even though I didn’t/don’t have it set to do that AND it bounced the logo back to the bottom left side of the screen even though the coding is still in the CSS to put it in the upper right corner. :(
Hi Martin,
I just checked these pages on the Foliovision website with IE 11.0.9600.17107 on a Windows 7 PC and also got error messages:On this page: http://foliovision.com/
Error message: “html5: Video file not found”On this page: http://foliovision.com/player/how-to-use-lightbox
lightbox opens. Video doesn’t play instead there’s an error message: “Video expired. Please reload the page and play the video again.” I get this message each time, whether I refresh or leave and come back.On this page: http://foliovision.com/player/switch-video-quality
when clicking on the video, error message says: “html5: Video file not found”I should mention, previous to this I was on my client’s site and trying to fiddle with IE settings (i.e. pop up blocker, security etc). None of them worked. As I tried and discovered the changes didn’t work, I would change it back to the original setting.
All of a sudden, a video started to play, then another. (this happened with the all the original settings)I closed the IE browser, went back to the client’s page and started to get error messages again. My client uses IE all the time (FYI – I do not, don’t like it much) and he said the videos were playing fine in the lightbox last week up until last Thursday when he started to get the error messages. So the problem seems to be intermittent… which makes no sense to me. ?
I will contact my client and his marketing guy today to ask about the versions etc.
Let me start again.
This is the regular webpage: http://pendocktraining.com/afp-training-canada/
The videos do not play in IE (they only play in Firefox and Chrome)SO I embedded the exact same videos ‘ON’ the page (linked to S3) to see if IE would play them:
http://pendocktraining.com/afp-training-us …and they do.SO the problem is: IE is not playing the videos in the lightbox.
Martin – are you telling me that the videos on this page are working in IE? http://pendocktraining.com/afp-training-canada/
They weren’t working for my client yesterday, or his marketing guy or for myself (I live in a different city).
I just turned on my computer for the day and they’re still not working for me in IE.
Hi Martin,
I embedded the first 4 videos into a different page (without the lightbox) and they’re playing ok in IE.
http://pendocktraining.com/afp-training-usSeems IE’s issue is with playing the videos in the lightbox.
Now IE just gave me a message that the video is not properly encoded. They’re all mp4’s and the content type is set to what I mention above.
Here’s the web page: http://pendocktraining.com/afp-training-canada/
Has anyone figured out why this happens in Explorer?
All of a sudden, the videos are not playing in IE today.
I cleared my browser history, my S3 Metadata settings are all set to “Content-Type: video/mp4” and my ACL is set to “Everyone” to Read (using the Firefox plugin).The videos are working just fine in Firefox and Chrome. Did IE have an update since yesterday? (never been fond of IE) :D
Martin, that’s a good idea
OR (just a suggestion) you could just have the logo sit on the bottom part of the player (to the left of the title) and eliminate the issue altogether.
I can see the logo on the screen itself being ok for a marketing video, but for a screencast it can cause a problem.
I’m pretty sure Martin. I wasn’t the only one trying to troubleshoot it. The person who put together the website was having the same issue and was posting/looking for feedback in the ithemes forum. (we don’t work from the same location)
As soon as I re-inserted the logo from the WordPress Library and told it to right justify, it bounced to the upper right corner. (the coding was already in the CSS at the time)
Hi Alec,
I figured out the problem! (and it was a simple one)
I remembered when I added the logo in the plugin settings, there’s the option to choose right, middle, left alignment and I didn’t remember choosing one.
I went back in to the settings, re-inserted the logo image and chose “Right”. Once I did that everything worked like a charm! :D
Hi Martin,
Yes I did find that code yesterday, but at first it didn’t do anything.Just now, when I removed the “#content” it stretched the logo across the width of the lightbox player.
Perhaps it’s because the website person used theme builder?
Martin, thank you very much. I set up the lightbox player in a grid and it looks absolutely beautiful! :) I actually like it better than the playlist!
(we’ll see what my client says. I’ve set up both for him to choose)
something more like this:
https://flowplayer.org/demos/playlist/#grid-demo
uh… is there a way to have the video play larger in the lightbox?? that’s the whole point isn’t it?
Awesome, thank you!
ok, so how do I get the “next” button like you have here? ‘http://martin.domainearl.com/2014/05/fv-player-pro-lightbox’
is it those 2 quotation marks? I can try re-entering everything into the wizard
ok – even I can tell there’s gotta be something wrong in there
Yes, I’m trying to use the lightbox with the playlist
[fvplayer (edited, very long shortcode)]
sorry… forgot to post the link to the page:
http://pendocktraining.com/afp-training-canada/Do you want me to re-activate the “Pro” plugin?
Martin, I just disabled the “FV Player Pro” and the thumbnails/playlist reappeared (on the page content).
Of course, the problem is we don’t have the lightbox now.
Thanks Martin!
My plugin is updated and the lightbox is beautiful! Very excited. :D
I do have a question… what is the ideal size for the splash images being used in a playlist?
Thank you for your kind attention and replies Martin.
My client gave me the go-ahead to purchase the FV Player Pro, which I did today. I’m just in the process of creating my thumbnails! :D
Yes, it’s FV Flowplayer. :)
The only way to see the mouse movements is to do full-screen, and with the background as white as this reply form we type into, they’re not really visible to a user (unless you already know they’re there).I really like how the next video in the playlist automatically plays.
I love the look of the lightbox! That would be ideal (instead of full screen). Any idea when the release date will be?
