FV Wordpress Flowplayer Configuration

Once the plugin is uploaded and activated, there will be a submenu of settings menu called FV Wordpress Flowplayer. In that submenu, you can modify following settings:

AutoPlay - decides whether the video starts playing automatically, when the page/post is displayed.
AutoBuffering - decides whether te video starts buffering automatically, when the page/post is displayed. If AutoPlay is set to true, you can ignore this setting.
Popup Box - decides whether a popup box with "replay" and "share" buttons will be displayed when video ends.
Colors of all the parts of flowplayer instances on page/post (controlbar, canvas, sliders, buttons, mouseover buttons, time and total time, progress and buffer sliders).

On the right side of this screen, you can see the current visual configuration of flowplayer. If you click Apply Changes button, this player's looks refreshes.

Configuration menu for administrators.

Just uploaded the plugin with the intent of either playing or streaming an mp4 from CloudFront. I get audio (after a long wait,) but no video. I tried pasting the file link in my browser – the file opens Quick Time, and plays flawlessly.
Can’t seem to get Mp4 video to work …

Hello,

thank you for this plugin. I have a question: where can I change the standard volume output? The default is 50%. But how can I change the default-level?

Thank you for any response

Peter

Hello Peter,

good question, to do so you must edit one of the php files and add a tiny bit of code:

In file fv-wordpress-flowplayer/models/flowplayer-frontend.php at the end of line 104 insert the following, don’t forget to put comma after the brackets:

onLoad: function () { this.setVolume(100); },

This is how the code will look after you do it:

clip: {
url: \”.$media.’\',
autoPlay: ‘.(isset($this->conf['autoplay'])?$this->conf['autoplay']:’false’).’,
autoBuffering: ‘.(isset($this->conf['autobuffer'])?$this->conf['autobuffer']:’false’).’
},
onLoad: function () { this.setVolume(100); },
canvas: {
backgroundColor:\”.$this->conf['canvas'].’\’
}

Some easier configuration of advanced options like this one might be a good addition for next version of our plugin. Thanks for pointing this out.

Fantastic plugin!

I’m setting it up to use as an audio player. Two changes I need to make this work right:

1) Controlbar to always show – no hidedelay

2) Hide the full screen button

Thanks

Very interesting Ron. We’re still using WP Audio Player for our client sites, but if there’s a chance to reduce the number of plugins we’re all for it.

We’ll take a look at this. Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried Audio Player, but it won’t play mp4 files.
I’m looking at:
http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/audio.html
2/3 of the way down the page. Example: Flowplayer as a music box. But the code they give only allows one player on the page.

It shouldn’t be too hard to add into the plugin, I wouldn’t think.
