Vimeo Video not playing Chrome

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Bug Reports › Vimeo Video not playing Chrome

  • pbuser 3 years, 6 months ago

    Hi, trying to play a Vimeo video with shortcode but the player gives me the following error-msg;

    “html5: Video loading aborted. Please use a modern up-to-date browser like Firefox or Chrome”

    The video plays fine in Safari but not with the recommended browsers Chrome and Firefox

    The video can be seen here;

    https://www.iamyoga.online/test/

    And the shortcode I’m using is;

    [fvplayer src="https://vimeo.com/574820324" splash="https://www.iamyoga.online/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/posttypevimeo-videop18362-vimeo-thumbnail.jpg"]

    The video is a private Vimeo

    Can you see what’s wrong? Thanks, all the best! /David

    Hello David,

    I apologize for the delay.

    Please, go to Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Hosting -> Vimeo and check, if you are getting any API errors.

    Thanks,
    Maria

    Hi Mária,

    No problem :) I see the following API errors;

    2021-11-02 20:02:33: Error for video https://vimeo.com/441593335: The requested video couldn’t be found.
    2021-11-02 20:02:33: Error for video https://vimeo.com/441657953: The requested video couldn’t be found.

    But these are two videos that are deleted from Vimeo a long time ago, about a year or so ago, and shouldn’t affect other videos right?

    Do you need to log in as admin to check it out?

    Thanks, David

    Hello David,

    I’ve done as much testing as I could, but the video did play for me on my test site.

    Your test page https://www.iamyoga.online/test/ does not work without login. Could you please make it available for public?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    Sorry about that, now the page is open.

    Thanks, David

    Hello David,

    it seems you are using Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Hosting -> Vimeo (Pro) -> Disable MPEG-DASH. Could you please try again with that setting disabled?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    That seems to fix the problem. But then we are right back at why I had it enabled in the first place;

    https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/audio-cracks-after-first-5-seconds-on-all-video-with-shortcode

    When disabled, this problem starts up again, so this isn’t a viable solution unfortunately

    Any other ideas? :)

    Hello David,

    for some reason that video does not have the MP4 versions available. We will make that work.

    Also thank you for a reminder about that audio glitch issue.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello David,

    we fixed the API to cover this special case, but I see an update to FV Player Pro will be required too. So we will take care of that too and let you know.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin, any update on this? :)

    Thanks! /David

    Hello David,

    could you please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using (just the “FV Player Pro” plugin, no data will be lost), then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> Settings -> FV Player screen. That will reinstall the plugin and give you the fixed version.

    Then that video should play.

    Thanks,
    Martin
