_fv_flowplayer data

Hello David,

we are working on revising this idea – each video in post will get its own post meta value where we will store this information.

Problem is that storing the playtime takes a while, so if there are too many videos in the post, we will be only able to process a bunch of them on post save.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello David,

yes, it will require a cron and downloading to work reliably.

Could you please let us know where you need to show this video duration, so we can make it a sensible feature? Right now I can only think of showing it in playlist captions.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

People should know the length of videos they are posting or should include it in video metadata. Calculating video length on the fly should not be a priority.

Thanks!

Hello David,

we can show the video duration time in playlist, in video splash screen bottom corner and also provide a template tag for your use.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello David,

we added this feature (off by default) and added required documentation here: http://foliovision.com/player/api-programming#video-length

Read the above to see how it’s enabled and how to use it in your templates.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello David,

if you suspect that the video duration checker has stalled, you can re-start it by disabling Integrations -> Scan video length and the re-enabling it.

There might be a single post breaking it. Can you check what is the first and last item in the fv_flowplayer_checker_queue wp_option serialized array and then check posts with that ID?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi David,

We’d be happy to look at your site hands on. Please pick up a pro support incident and we’ll look at it right away.

Thanks for being part of Foliovision!

Hi David,

Your license gets you the pro features and a single pro support incident. This is an additional incident. I don’t see a reason for us to resolve your server issues hands on for free. You should be happy that there is pro support available. Most plugins just tell you to fly a kit or sing you “some day over the rainbow”. Unlike the Judy Garlands of the development world, we will fix your site.

Sorry about that. In any case, thanks for being part of Foliovision!

Hello David,

we were fixing the VAT form today and we fixed it before you replied here. So we will have another look tomorrow.

You can also buy the Pro support now and we will refund the tax afterwards when you send us the VAT details.

Thanks,
Martin
