YouTube URL ends in “]” causing FVplayer code not to scan properly

in WordPress is canned as this:

Hoot 1201 on 7/27/2020 at Zoom: [SS

Should be scanned like this:

Hoot 1201 on 7/27/2020 at Zoom: [SS] [TR]

I guess this would be a problem anytime ] is contained anywhere in the URL. Is there a workaround?

Hello Fobraynes,

it’s true that the WordPress shortcodes do not handle these ] symbols well – the shortcode just fails to parse properly when it’s in an argument value.

We will fix it to not cause this issue for YouTube videos with ] in the title when the title is fetched on post save. That will at least fix the issue for you going forward.

This issue does not occur when you use the FV Player Editor – either on your posts or in wp-admin -> FV Player.

Thanks,
Martin
