Hi!
I recently purchased FV Player. I will upgrade it on my site next week.
I have used the free version for 2 months. I am very satisfied with it.
An issue has come up today (with the free version).
I get the following error message:
hlsjs-lite network error
You may see it here: https://numeripresse.plus/2021/06/01/test-fv-player/
My HLS signal is provided by livepeer.com. It has been working very well with your FV Player until now.
I get the error message when there is NO live stream. Once the live stream starts, I need to reload the page to play video.
I tried to activate basic-setup/how-to-use-video-checker without success. Cannot view any message.
Looking forward to your advice.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Jean

Hello Jean,
when the live stream is not live it can report an error like that. Please ensure you marked the stream as live: https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/hls -> “If you are using a HLS live stream, make sure you tick the Livestream button in the editor as well” Then it will show a 30 seconds count-down and then attempt to reload the video automatically and if it still won’t play repeat over and over again.
However I see that since we automated the live stream detection in the last FV Player release you are not able to check that “Live stream” checkbox for a stream which does load when you are posting it. So I will improve that to give you all of these options in such case.
We are also working on a dedicated FV Player Live Streaming addon as well. There we could let you schedule the live streams – so that you could put in a date and time of when the stream will go live and show that exact time and date countdown like:
This live stream starts in
1 day 5 hours 30 minutes 54 seconds
Thanks,
Martin
Martin,
Happy New Year and Thank you for your reply.
Yes, scheduled events would be a great add-on.
I am glad you noticed the “Live stream” checkbox is gone.
I was using it before and all was working properly.
You will fix it via a update to the player?
I am planning on installing the paid version this week, will the checkbox be available?
Kind regards
Jean
Hello Jean,
FV Player 7.5.14.727 is out and it fixes the issue.
If you input a live HLS stream, the Live Stream checkbox shows up checked. If the HLS stream is not live, the checkbox is not there. If it cannot be checked, the checkbox still shows, but not checked – as we need you to flag it as a live stream as we are not able to check it if it’s currently not running.
Thanks,
Martin
