Glitch when video loads up

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Bug Reports › Glitch when video loads up

  • Mark B. 6 years, 6 months ago

    When the embedded video loads on the Home page of my client’s site, there’s a short pause, followed by a black screen with a big Play arrow on it, followed by what appears to be another video trying to load, and then finally the correct video loads and begins to play, as it should. Any idea how to get rid of the first two glitches? The client isn’t happy about it, and I’ve tried reinstalling the plugin, re-uploading the video, changing different settings, etc., and nothing seems to be working! Here’s the URL for you to check out what I mean:

    Thanks!

    Hello Mark,

    at first the player is black and a white play icon appears on top of it (as an indication of a video being present). Then the splash image loads behind it. This is the initial loading phase which we would like to improve – there could be a hourglass icon which would be a better indication of something loading.

    The video is using autoplay, so that triggers next – it shows the loading indicator.

    And last thing, the video playback begins, which is indicated with a big play icon appearing for a fraction of a second and then disappearing. I guess we could avoid that for videos which are autoplayed, as it works that way with core Flowplayer too: http://demos.flowplayer.com/basics/autoplay.html

    I’m attaching a screenshot with all three stages – initial play icon with splash screen loading, then the load phase and then the final play icon signalling the playback.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Right. These glitches weren’t there a couple of days ago, then we altered some of the options to see if the client liked them, which he didn’t, then tried to revert back to the version that worked just fine, and now these glitches are coming up. Is there something in the backend options/settings for the plugin that need to be turned on/off? Something in the code on the page where the video is embedded?

    Also, when we were embedding the video onto a page, it would display all of the info about the video inside the [fvplayer ] brackets. Now, just an ID number appears, and we have to go and edit the video’s settings in another part of the backend of WordPress, instead of right on the page. Is that something that can be switched back with a setting/option, or is that something you just changed in the last couple of days? Thanks.

    Hello Mark,

    it’s like that ever since FV Player 7 has been released. I guess you used FV Player 6 before. We are going to improve this as I was mentioning.

    The [fvplayer] shortcode has changed – since version 7.3 it reads the data from database. But you can still use the old fashioned shortcode with all the different attributes. More information on this can be found here: https://foliovision.com/2018/11/video-database

    Thanks,
    Martin
