Hi Hitendra,
try to use single quotes ‘ instead of double ” in the shortcode. If this does not help try it without the quotes. Hope this helps.
Zdenka
Hi Bentley,
We’re glad you like our plugin!
The centering is set at the very top of the flowplayer.css file, in the flowplayer_container class.
It is the line “margin: 0 auto 0 auto !important;”.
Comment the line out to get default alignment.Zdenka
Hi Hitendra,
the code ‘echo apply_filters..’ can be used when placing the video into the template.
If you want to insert the video into a widget let’s say via Text Widget, just place the normal shortcode there, just as you’re placing into post.Zdenka
Hi Richie,
thanks for posting, we’ll look into that!
Zdenka
Hi everybody,
the new version 0.6.4 is now out, the ‘Back’ link is fixed, also the problem 1) reported by Richie is fixed.
Hi Richie, we were testing the plugin for the problems 2 and 3, but we were unable to replicate them. Please try to install the new version and check if those issues still appear.
Thanks to all of you for reporting bugs and helping us to improve WP Link Robot!
Zdenka
Hi Richie,
thanks for such detailed testing! We’ll fix these bugs right away and you can look forward to a new version coming out today.
Hopefully it will eliminate problems with displaying the links as well.Zdenka
Hi Richard,
Yes now I see the problem with ‘back’ link, we’re gonna fix this link soon. Thanks to you and Emily for pointing this out.
Zdenka
Hi Richie,
on your website I can see that you do not have enabled permalinks – you’re using the default option. In your case the directory slug name should be empty.
Hi Alex,
you can also try to update the permalinks structure, just go to the permalinks page and click Save changes.
Zdenka
Hi Alex,
I would say that directory slug name should be only ‘links’ in this case.
Zdenka
Hi Alex,
please check if you have correctly set the Directory slug name, see the post above. This might be the reason why the links are not rendering.
Zdenka
Yes, I believe this is what YouTube does with the videos. I assume they do several automatic conversions when the video is uploaded. Just take that you can choose the resolution of the video – so they do have different sizes of videos available.
Also, when watching the video in Safari on desktop computer, it is in flv format, but on iPod/iPad it is in mp4 (flv won’t play).
Zdenka
Hi Ron,
I’ve seen solutions when there were multiple formats for the same video (myvideo.mp4, myvideo.flv, etc) and the format which is suitable is used. HTML5 supports this and it allows to include multiple sources into one video tag ( ‘http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html’ ). This way it is probable that at least one format/codec fits. You can read more about this here: Video that plays everywhere.
Using multiple video formats would be somehow hard to manage within one FV Flowplayer shortcode. Also, you would have to create and upload those videos. At this moment we are not implementing this functionality, we’ll see about this in the future.
Zdenka
Hi Ron,
looking into this Android issue, is seems there’s one more thing that can be done on our end – we’re gonna test it.
But Androids seems to we very sensitive to the codecs used, you might want to check this site on the Android device: http://html5test.com/, it will tell you which codecs are supported on that device.
Generally, there’s no codec that would play on every device, which in practice means that you would need two or three different versions of the same video if you want it to play everywhere.
Zdenka
Hi Shamus,
Thanks for testing. Unfortunately the speed with which the play button shows up is not under our control, as you said it’s the hosting and the speed of your connection. However we’ll be adding the splash screen functionality, so hopefully it will cover this problem.
Zdenka
Hi Ron and everybody else wondering about splash screens in HTML5. Good news, we’ll add this feature in the next release.
Looking forward to hear from you how HTML5 support works for you!
Zdenka
Hi Jens,
this functionality is not implemented yet. If you feel like doing it, then it would require some additional coding in models/flowplayer-frontend.php, probably modifying $popup_contents around line 84, and maybe also the window.flowplayer(‘wpfp_$hash’).onFinish function which is on the line 88.
Thanks for your suggestion, we will consider adding this feature in the future.
Zdenka
Hi Christo,
thanks for your comment. We just fixed a bug when no permalinks were set, so you can download a new version.
If you’re using permalinks set to default value (in a form ?p=123), then the “Directory slug name” in WP Link Robot settings should stay empty.
If you’re using other permalinks structure, you should define the “Directory slug name” according to the page slug where the links should be displayed.Hope this helps to solve your problem, thanks for reporting it.
Zdenka
Hi Ron,
Yes, this HTML5 support works with WPtouch plugin.
Regarding your test, you should backup the /wp-content/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer directory, or you can for example just rename that directory to something else, let’s say fv-wordpress-flowplayer-old. Then you can upload this new plugin. When you don’t like it just uninstall/delete the new old and rename the fv-wordpress-flowplayer-old back to fv-wordpress-flowplayer.
Don’t forget to activate/deactivate the plugins as you are changing them.Zdenka
Hi Ron,
could you please be more specific about what has failed when you tried to install this version of plugin?
If you don’t want to replace your previous version use ftp to backup this old version, and if you do not like the new one, just upload back the previous one.Zdenka
Hi Trenton,
we’re sorry but this option is not possible to set in FV Flowplayer.
Zdenka
Hi Roy,
yes, FV testimonials are compatible with WP3.1 RC2.
Zdenka
Hi Shamus,
thanks for testing!
We just did a little research and it seems that Apple modified html5 media support in the 4.2 update of iOS.
It’s great you provided us with details about your iOS, helped with the problem identification. We’ll see what we can do about this problem. Thanks a lot for pointing this out!Zdenka
Hi Jeff,
at the moment the HTML5 support is turned on only for mobile browsers. Right now, we are not thinking on turning the HTML 5 option as the default one, because all the features that we have for Flowplayer work only for Flowplayer and not for the HTML5 video player.
If you like customize your version of plugin, you can add more supported browsers, just add their user agents into the fv-wordpress-flowplayer/view/frontend-head.php on line 8, into the array $aUserAgents.
Zdenka
Hi Ivan,
at the moment you can display one testimonial, but the random feature is not included. We will consider adding this in the next release.
Thanks for your comment,
Zdenka
Hi Emily,
I am not exactly sure what do you mean by “to make the ‘back’ link go back to my links page and not my home page”.
Which ‘back’ link do you mean?Zdenka
Hi Emily,
the 2nd and 3rd question of yours is resolved now, you can download new 0.6.1 version.
Regarding your first problem, we are not sure, as we didn’t experienced this problem.
Zdenka
Hi Emily,
thanks for letting us know, we’ll have a look at this and we’ll fix it as soon as possible.
We’ll let you know when is the new version available.
Thanks for your feedback,
Zdenka
You’re welcome Kaye.
You actually discovered a bug here, we just released a fixed version it so this won’t happen again.Zdenka
Hi Kaye
could you please go to the Options, and check if you have set the path where the uploaded images should be stored?
Just write in the directory, for example /testimonials then click Save.
Now you can go back to your testimonial and the image uploading should work.Thanks for reporting this problem,
Zdenka
Hi Ron,
no I’m sorry this feature is not available. The problem is that the first frame of the video is not very reliable, it is often incomplete or broken. Also, to get the first frame we would need to start to load the video which is exactly what we’re trying to avoid using a splash image.
The only way, though not recommended, is to set up the autobuffering to true and autoplay to false. This, however will load all videos on the page which will significantly slower down the pageload.Zdenka
Hi Adrian,
the url you inserted is url of the site containing the video and not the video itself. The plugin expects the exact link to the video, like http://example.com/yourvideo.mp4, which I’m afraid won’t work with youtube.
Zdenka
Hi David,
I am sorry there is no user setting for removing that play button, you should take a screenshot while the video is running, not when it is paused. Or you can use some other video player in your computer to take a screenshot.
Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
this one can be done only by inserting the whole javascript into your page. That means no shortcodes, but the script that is being generated – you can have a look in the source code of the page where flowplayer is used.
The path to the swf used is printed there, so you can change it. You can adjust here all parameters separately as well.Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
I am not sure what exactly you mean, if you are talking about inserting flowplayer somewhere else than in the post content, you might want to read our FAQ How do I insert flowplayer object outside the post, for example to a sidebar?
Zdenka
Hi Dave,
you found it right, this piece of code controls the horizontal position of the play button, try using for example 0 instead.
See our FAQ for more info.Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
well if you want to tinker with colors and opacity, I can direct you to the php file where the properties are set. It is the /models/flowplayer-frontend.php, and the colors are handled around lines 130-150.
The opacity of the whole control bar is set as opacity: 1.0 at line 148.
Please be careful here, and be sure you backup this file before you change anything.Hope this helps,
Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
yes, we actually were stripping of all non alphanumerical characters from the licence key and color names.
I just fixed this bug, so you can download the 1.2.1 version of FV WordPress Flowplayer. If you like to keep what you already changed, just copy the function _set_conf (lines 68-79) from /models/flowplayer.php and paste it into your php file.
We will try to figure out the solution how to make the use of commercial version more user-friendly.
Thank you very much for letting us know about these issues.
Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
if you want to use relative paths to your videos, they should be placed in the /videos/ directory. The same hold for images.
If you want to reference videos or images with the full path (http://…), you can place them whenever you want.
If you have a license key to the commercial version, you need to include this in the admin section in the wordpress.
Btw. the black border around the video is defined in the css/flowplayer.css on the 6th line.
Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
ok, so here’s what you can do:
Upload your 3.2.5 version to /flowplayer/commercial/ directory.Then open file /models/flowpayer.php, scroll down to locate the very last function, comment out lines 106-108 (that if .. else), leaving only the last ‘define’, and fill the correct name of your new flowplayer file, so you replace flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf with your new filename flowplayer.3.2.5.swf or something like that. Save the file.
This way the the code certainly takes Flowplayer you specified, and it should work with the license key you entered.
Please let me know how this went.
Thanks,
Zdenka
Hi Arthur,
we investigated the problem you reported, and it seems we have some conflict in javascript when a splash image is used.
To fix your problem immediately, you can download older version of our plugin, and replace the file /flowplayer/flowplayer.min.js with older version of this file.Thanks for reporting this problem,
Zdenka
Hi Dave,
the size of the play button is fixed at the moment and it is defined in the fv-wordpress-flowplayer/models/flowplayer-frontend.php file on line 118. It is set to 83 pixels, that’s why the smaller picture you uploaded got scaled up.
If you like to make the image smaller, change the size here.
We will consider making this play button more adjustable, thanks for your comment.Zdenka
Hi Michael,
FV WordPress Flowplayer calls some javascript from the footer. That means your footer.php file must contain the <?php wp_footer(); ?> WordPress hook. Almost all themes do this out of the box, but if you’ve customised your theme there’s a chance that you might have deleted this call.
