    the top video plays, which is on the page, but the second one doesnt which is in our custom template. This is a big problem.

    Hello Greg,

    the issue occurs as the decryption key can’t be found. FV Player Pro looks for it in the page where the video is embedded.

    We are very close to releasing FV Player 7.3 which will store FV Player instances in a separate set of database tables. That way the shortcodes will look like [fvplayer id="1234"] so when you use such shortcode in PHP FV Player Pro will know where to get the decryption key from.

    Old shortcodes will keep working and you will be able to combine the attributes which are related to player representation with the id attribute too.

    Also, if you put in FV Player using PHP to create alternative video posting interface for your users our advice is to use the FV Player Meta Box: https://foliovision.com/player/advanced/video-custom-fields That way any posted videos will be stored in FV Player database so all should work.

    Thanks,
    Martin
