Hi Darius,

You could use the Search Regex or a similar plugin to search for a regular expression “[fvplayer“. That would find all your video shortcodes and then you can replace them all with “[fvplayer ab=”true” “, so all your video shortcodes will contain the AB loop parameter and the rest of the parameters will remain intact.

The downside is, that search & replace can be risky, so make sure you create a backup.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi James,

Thanks for the bug report. Could you please check for a Javascript error in the post edit screen? (Here’s a guide on how to do that)

Thanks,
Eduard

Hello Myo Zin,

You could change the policy for your S3 bucket, so it’s content will be public by default. You can generate a new policy with this tool and find some useful information about it in this post.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Clod,

Thanks for these suggestions, you certainly have some good points, especially with the padding of the transcript box and centring the actual line. I’ll certainly pass these suggestions to our programming department.

Thank you,
Eduard

Hi cruiserparts,

You could set an HTML pop-up at the end of your video, where you could add a subscribe button via JavaScript, or just add a link to wherever you want. You can find all about this feature in this guide – Setting Up HTML Pop-ups.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Devin,

Thanks for the extensive video report! I haven’t encountered the issues on the websites you have posted (Win 10/Chrome) but I’ll try to test on other devices.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Gergely,

That depends on the values you have set in the Quality Switching options, but in general, it should do no harm.

I tested it by adding 1080 quality to the existing settings we are using (HD, SD, and Mobile). Switching to the (non-existing) 1080 quality just caused the player to switch to HD and the playback normally continued.

If you would encounter any problems with this, let us know.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Renato,

Yes, uninstall and upload again. Your settings will remain intact.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Pádraig,

Thanks for testing this issue on your end. I’ve discussed it with our programming department.

The restriction of the custom skin for full screen on Android was installed because devices with version lower than 4.3 were slowed down, so the player switched to native interface.

However, it has became quite obsolete, so we will be probably taking it down in the future updates.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hello Devin,

We recently experienced problems with very long loading times of both MPEG-DASH and MP4 Vimeo embeds. It turned out that it was caused by issues with selecting the fastest server in their CDN network. We have fixed this problem and all should be working well now.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Pádraig,

Thanks for the bug report! I did a quick test and I can see the customized skin in fullscreen, both in Chrome and Opera on desktop. I got the same results as you on Android, though.

Could you please specify the version of your OS and browser you were using?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Devin,

I found out that this is actually a technical limitation of browsers. When a normal video is slowed down to 0.25, the frames must be shown a couple of times to create the slow effect. That’s ok for human eyes to have the illusion of slower motion, but the ears would recognize that a certain sound frequency is repeated and the result would sound really horrible. Thus the technical limitation.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Devin,

Thanks for reporting this, we are looking into it and will get back to you shortly.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the bug report! I have tried to test this, but it requires the full version to have the option to reply to comments via email. There is no FV Player code in the emails received from the free version.

Could you please download an example email as HTML and share it here, so we could check the code?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hello Joihn,

I can see all the control buttons properly on your page (here is a screenshot). This was captured on Chrome/Windows 10. I also tested on Mozilla and Opera and got the same results. Do you still see the problem or is it already resolved?

As for the splash image: the picture you have set is showing 404 when I tried to open it, so you should check if you used the right URL.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Shez,

I added your domain to your m….m…@hotmail.com account, so you can download the Pro plugin and start using it.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi igno!

We have talked about this in our support system today, but just for the record for other users: there is no way at this moment to use Google Drive videos as a source for quality switching, due to the automatically generated source URL. Using Google Drive for hosting is however possible, here is a demo – Video Hosted on Google Drive.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi wacha,

I’m glad to hear that. I’ve deleted the attachment, as you requested.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi webmarka,

Thanks for pointing this out. The RTMP streams should be working without that param, so we’ll take a look into it.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi John,

I can’t access the restricted content. Could you please provide a temporary login via https://revealit.me/, so we can take a look?

Thanks,
Eduarrd

Hi Wacha,

Thanks for your interest!

1) If you are using S3, then you might use the signed URLs (check this guide – Serving Private Videos with Amazon S3) and set the expiration time of your links. However, this will not fully protect your videos from downloading. You could add another layer of protection by using CloudFront distribution, which will make the video URL unaccessible. Or alternatively, use a stream such as HLS or MPEG-DASH (FV Player supports both).

2) Yes, our plugin does that. Here is a guide on how to set up quality switching in FV Player – Setting Up Video Quality Switching. This can of course be applied to S3 hosted videos.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Michael,

If I understand correctly, you mean this exact function.

Our player currently doesn’t support this, but we are planning to implement it at some point in the future. However, if you need this as soon as possible, we could make a deal. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll contact our sales department.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Giongy,

What version of our player are you using?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Paco,

What version of FV Player and WordPress are you using?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi John,

The issue with Vimeo videos on iPads should be fixed by now, you don’t even have to update.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi John,

Thanks for the bug report! We are working on this issue right now and we’ll try to release an update that should fix it in a couple of hours.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Sve,

Could you create a test post and send us a link so we can take a look on this issue?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Yngvai,

Yes, in general, the CloudFront will help to speed up the loading for users located geographically far from your server. If you say that some users report slower performance and others don’t, than this might be the right solution.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Mirco,

No you can’t. You’d have to add the ad to your primary video as a single video to share both on Facebook.

Thanks

Hi Clod,

I’ve passed this question to our programming department so they can test it properly. We’ll let you know the results as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience,
Eduard

Hi Ken,

Good to know that it works. And thank you for pointing out the incompatibility with MyCred. We might take a look on it in the future and maybe add it to the list of incompatible plugins.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Devin,

That’s good news. We were fixing some issues here on our end and this means that everything works fine now. Thank you for checking this!

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Marcel,

You can do it easily with CSS. If it’s just for one video, you can wrap it in a

tag and add a colour property. For instance:

<div id="text-colour">[fvplayer src="http://lucia.domainearl.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Slovakia.-Best-friends-forever..mp4" caption="Hi there! Press here to get a jolly photo booth experience!" lightbox="true;text"]</div>

and the CSS:

#text-colour {
color: B2FF25;
}

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Marcel,

I’m not sure what kind of look are you trying to achieve, but if you want to open videos in Lightbox, just add lightbox=”true” to the shortcode. For instance:

[fvplayer src="https://youtu.be/xPSZSKhK3jM" splash="http://www.wpvideo.nl/jollyboothtest/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/achtergrond-transparant.png"  lightbox="true" caption="OOPOEH en oppashond gezellig samen op stap"]

You can find more information in our guide Using the Video Lightbox Effect.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Ken,

I’m glad that everything is running fine. If you ever have any other questions, feel free to ask them here in forum.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Clod,

To your latest post – it is also compatible with self-hosted videos.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Clod,

Thanks for your ideas. I’m sorry but I’m not sure if I understand all of them.

1) Do you mean the subtitle bar, that will open after turning on the CC button? Our player opens the subtitles inside a video with black background and it looks sufficient to me. But if you are interested in this kind of custom feature, let us know!

2) & 3) These functions are already available, I think. If you look at our demo, you can see that both auto-focusing and highlighting the background while hovering over a line in the transcript are native functions of this feature.

I hope I understood your insights correctly.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Rock,

Thank you for the bug report. I’ve notified our programming department about this issue and they will look at it as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

I’m glad to hear that! As for the Search Regex, it will basically search for a certain text and replace it with a new text. It was made mainly for migrations and renaming directories, but will work fine in this case as well. You could just replace the [dzs_video source=” part of all your existing shortcodes with [fvplayer src=” (it would look like this), and then delete the redundant settings in the shortcodes in a similar way. What you would get would be this: [fvplayer src="http://catchwrestle.com/newsletter/theimportanceofangles.mp4"].

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

May I ask what player are you using now? Could you provide a sample code of the video? Maybe we could figure out an easy way to convert the existing video codes to FV Player shortcodes.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

It’s possible that one of your plugins strips the version information. If you don’t have a problem with FV Player showing the notice about broken JavaScript, you don’t have to worry much about this message. Actually, we will probably disable it in the plugin code for the next release as this check is not very usefull these days.

However, one of your plugins could be actually interfering somehow with the shortcode editor. Could you provide a list of plugins you are currently using also with the exact version of your browser?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

Could you provide us a link to your site where the problems occur, so we could take a look?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Pier,

You can easily change it in CSS. Here’s the code:

.flowplayer .fv-cva-time {
     color: red
 }

#content .flowplayer a.fv-cva-skip, .flowplayer a.fv-cva-skip {
     color: blue
 }

The first selector alters the “This ad will end in … seconds” and the second one alters the “Skip” button.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Kerry,

Oh, sorry, I thought you meant VAST ads. Yes, you can restrict the skipping by setting the time as you described. The time counter that indicates the end of the ad can’t be removed in settings, but you could hide it in CSS. Use this code:

.flowplayer.is-cva .fv-cva-time {
    display: none; !important
}

There is a way to remove absolutely everything from the player: just add both controlbar=”no” and live=”true” and check Disable Embed Button along with Disable Sharing in Settings -> FV Player -> Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults. You can see the result in this demo. The user can use the keyboard shortcuts (they appear after pressing “?“) to control the video playback.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Kerry,

The possibility of skipping ads is in the ad tag itself, not in the player settings. Try to acquire a non-skippable tag from your ad network.

As for the progress bar, you can either remove it from a video and keep the play button and sound controls by adding live=”true”, or you can keep a minimal progress bar and remove the play button, time and sound controller by adding controlbar=”no” (that can be also set in the shortcode editor).

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Kobus,

It seems that the mp4 video you used as the source (https://maroelamedia.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/standerton-tornado.mp4) and the whole folder ‘/2016/11/’ in your installation is locked for public viewing. I changed the source address to ‘https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zvM7te26/standerton-tornado.mp4’, as the ogv video from the same folder was working, and the mp4 started to work.

The resulting shortcode:
[fvplayer src="https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zvM7te26/standerton-tornado.mp4" src1="https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zvM7te26/standerton-tornado_fmt1.ogv" splash="https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zvM7te26/standerton-tornado_std.original.jpg"]

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Kobus,

To set up the post-roll, just use the midroll=”” tag in the shortcode and set the ad start on the last second of your video. Take a look at this demo.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Mateus,

This is not possible at this moment, but we have to do some updates to the transfer of YouTube subtitles, so I’ll be in touch next week, hopefully with some new info.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Devin,

Thanks for the appreciation! As for the time estimates, I can’t promise anything at this moment, because programming is still doing some research on the issue, but I’ll make sure to keep in touch next week and hopefully have some more details to share.

Thanks,
Eduard
