Hi guys
I updated FV Player to version 6.3.3 today. Since the update, pages where a post is published or updated takes very long (a few minutes) to finish loading. When the FV Player plugins is disabled, publishing and updating of posts is fast again. I’m reverting back to an older version for the moment.
Best regards

Hello Kobus,
do you store any [fvplayer] shortcodes in postmeta fields? Does this happen even to new posts?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin
The shortcode is only used in the main content of posts. It happens on publish for new posts and update of existing posts.
Thank you for looking into this!
Hello Kobus,
are you using Settings -> FV Player -> Integrations/Compatibility -> Scan video length? If you check that off are you still having this issue?
Could you please paste the shortcode you are using here so that we can check if the issue is related to the video?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin
Scan video length is not enabled. We disabled this function when we started using FV Player, because posts wouldn’t save at all.
Publishing and updating posts only take long to complete if the shortcode for fvplayer is present in the post content. When it is not used, the load time is normal (less than 10 seconds).
We use the shortcode mainly with YouTube videos like for example:
[fvplayer src="https://youtu.be/Fh8_2zQZ3xM" splash="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fh8_2zQZ3xM/hqdefault.jpg" caption="911 GT2 RS world record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Full onboard-footage."]
[fvplayer src="https://youtu.be/qYCRhPXWP_M" splash="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qYCRhPXWP_M/hqdefault.jpg" caption="Crane 鶴 학"]
[fvplayer src="https://youtu.be/5DAfojMVvKs" splash="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5DAfojMVvKs/hqdefault.jpg" caption="‘Vaselinetjie’: Om te soek na hoop en ʼn eie identiteit"]I’ll be able to provide more feedback from Monday next week.
Thank you
Those shortcodes aren’t displaying properly. Here are the examples on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/hLgUChjq
Hello Kobus,
the YouTube and Vimeo videos are always analyzed to be able to show the splash screens automatically.
If it takes that long, then your server might have some problem with connection to https://www.googleapis.com which we are using for YouTube. However we have set the timeout to 4 seconds, so if you have 3 shortcodes and each one has a single YouTube video it should not take more than 12 seconds. And on repeated post saves it should be skipped as the video information was already fetched.
Can you try to create a new post with video like http://video-cdn-public.foliovision.com/Swan-Lake-Reloaded-sd.mp4 and see if even that slows down the post saving too much?
Thanks,
Martin
