FV Player’s New Features: Sticky Video, Splash Text and Updated Pay Per View

7 December 2017 / Eduard / Leave a Comment

What’s new:

  • Sticky Video
  • Splash Text
  • Pay Per View’s New Rental Duration Setting
    • Video Link Format Fix

Sticky Video

Sticky Video is a cool new feature that we recently added to the free version of FV Player. When active, it will create a small video box that will float when you scroll below the original video. See how it works in this video and you can also scroll down past the video to see it in action!

As you can see, the video box will appear automatically. It can be closed if the viewer wants and contains all the functions of the regular player. The mini video box will also hide when you scroll back to the original video and re-appear when scrolling down again. 

Read our Sticky Video guide to learn more about it.

Splash Text

Splash Text is a new and more appealing alternative to the classic video captions. It will let you write a text that will be shown in a stripe overlaying the video – it looks very similar to the “2017 with captions” playlist design.

As you can see on the example video below, the Splash Text gives more clean, compact and appealing look to your videos, while letting the viewers know what they are about to watch. You can of course write anything you want.

Using Splash Text is available only for individual videos via the shortcode editor, or by using a shortcode parameter splash_text=””. You can read more details about this feature in our guide Adding Captions and Splash Text.

Pay Per View’s New Rental Duration Setting

FV Player Pay Per View, our add-on plugin used for selling temporary access to video content (basically a video rental service), got its first bigger update. We added an option to manually change the time period during which your viewers will be able to watch a video they have purchased.

Until now, the availability of the video was fixed to 48 hours, but now you can edit the number and set any value (in hours) you want. You can find the option in Settings > FV Player PPV > Settings > Rental duration.

Bug Fixes

Video Link Format Fix

The video link feature was sometimes causing issues with its formatting. We have decided to simplify the link format from

http://site.com/my-video/#fvp_example?t=1m33s

to

http://site.com/my-video/#fvp_example,1m33s

Removing the ?t= string helped to improve compatibility through all browsers and should cause no issues anymore.
