Player doesn’t go full screen on iOS.

Hello James,

please try with Settings -> FV Player -> Mobile Settings -> Alternative iOS fullscreen mode and let us know if it helped.

Thanks,

Hello James,

I realized that fix does not work for YouTube videos. Please let us know if you are using YouTube.

Thanks,

Hello James,

it appears your theme is forcing some z-index along with positioning on the element where FV Player is placed – and then our plugin can’t override that.

We provide that “Alternative iOS fullscreen” setting to avoid this issue but unfortunately it does not for your YouTube.

Do you use any subtitles, overlay ads, AB loop bar or FV Player Pro DRM Text on your videos?

If not, then we can avoid this issue by only playing these YouTube videos in native fullscreen mode of the mobile. We have a setting to do that and it could be improved to work with YouTube as well. The downside is that you only get the standard built-in player while playing – hence no custom subtitles, ads etc.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello James,

the downside is that if you use the standard built-in player with no DRM text is that the video is then easy to screen capture.

Thanks,

Hello James,

we found we can actually do something about it – we can remove these conflicting CSS rules when entering fullscreen and put it back when leaving fullscreen.

If you are interested you can reinstall FV Player from this link: http://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.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.

That way the fullscreen for YouTube videos should work for you on iPhone.

Thanks,
Martin
