Shorcode not showing SRC just ID = -1

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Bug Reports › Shorcode not showing SRC just ID = -1

  • Barney 6 years, 6 months ago

    Strangely enough this morning I updated the FV Player for a site we’re managing and their shortcode editor no longer works. Any insight into what might be going wrong.

    The shortcode that gets dumped out is:

    [fv_player id=”-1″]

    No matter what link we put in from the S3 bucket.

    Cheers

    Hello Barney,

    it’s the new database driven storage of FV Players: https://foliovision.com/2018/11/video-database

    If you experience such error, please provide output of Settings -> FV Player -> Tools -> System Info and also the PHP error logs which appear when you hit the button to save the player instance in editor.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    HI Martin,

    Interestingly the PHP error is:

    WordPress database error Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs for query

    I’ve fixed the issue – I copied the MySQL and created the table manually but I changed the videos varchar(65535) NOT NULL, to videos text NOT NULL.

    Think the WordPress limit was having a fit at the idea of a 65536 VARCHAR field when really a TEXT would do.

    Cheers for the insight – didn’t get round to checking the wp-admin error-log.

    Hello Barney,

    thank you for the follow up. You fix seems to be correct, we will use that for the next version of the plugin.

    Thanks,
    Martin
