-
Hey foliovision,
I am using both bunny.net and vimeo as source for your player.
When using vimeo, a nice progress bar is shown on the thumbnails, indicating the last seesions state and resuming the video playback at that position. Same settings with bunny.net the progress state is saved and played back from correct position, but no visible “progress bar” is shown.Is this a known issue? Or can you fix / integrate this feature?
Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!

Hi Martin,
thanks for your reply!
I tested posting a single video. It behaves in the same way as in playlist mode: single video and playlist videos both DO resume at the correct position with bunny.netm, like I already stated in my initial bug report.
But:
– with videos on vimeo the visible progress bar overlay on thumbnails is working
– with videos on bunny.net the progress bar is NOT visible, there is no progress bar at all, but videos do resume at correct positionIts a nice feature when using playlists to see at a glance which videos you have already watched (see above row in my screenshot), so it would be nice if this would work with bunny.net videos too.
Maybe I was not clear enough about the exact issue in my first post, sorry for that: its about the progress bar itself, not the “resume” at the correct position, that one works fine. :)
Keep up the good work, thanks!
Hello Christian,
actually it should really just work.
Could you please provide the export of the player with the Bunny Stream videos? You can get that on wp-admin -> FV Player when you hover the player row – the Export link will appear. I wonder if these videos do have their durations properly stored.
Thanks,
MartinHi martin,
thanks again for looking into this. Here the export of the test video.

Thanks in advance :)
Hello Christian,
the export which you posted suggests that FV Player failed to obtain the duration of these videos – notice the “meta_key”:”duration”,”meta_value” is just “h”.
Please try to enable Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Integrations/Compatibility -> Scan video length – that should try the duration scan for these videos, but it might take a while before the background job gets to it.
Alternatively you can try to insert these Bunny Stream videos into a new FV Player as a new playlist and see if it works this time. Perhaps Bunny Stream does not permit your website to check the duration of these streams somehow.
Thanks,
MartinHey Martin,
thanks for your reply!
The option was already checked, which led me to think about how we import videos. We use a self written uploader for bunny.net, then we import the data given back by the API into fvplayer using your import function. This is an example string we create for import:{
“player_name”: “player name”,
“status”: “published”,
“videos”: [
{
“caption”: ” caption_example”,
“splash”: “https://vz-[***].jpg”,
“src”: “https://vz-[***]/playlist.m3u8”
},Maybe using the import does not check the duration (again)?
What I did also check: Importing the videos from bunny just using the playlist URL, the progress bar works fine in that case and the length is shown when hovering over the thumbnail.Thanks and best,
ChristianHello Christian,
previously I noted that the video duration for your videos appears to be just “h”. I found that issue and fixed it.
Please reinstall FV Player from this link to get the fixed version: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip
To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.
Then since you are using Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Integrations/Compatibility -> Scan video length, all of these video duration should be set properly in matter of minutes or hours – depends on if you have dozens, hundreds or thousands of videos.
Thanks,
Martin
