Hi, i’m trying to figure out how to use a video hosted on amazon drive with fvplayer and the only instructions i found (below) are very incomplete
“Just use your Amazon Drive video links as video source like https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/{code}”
Where EXACTLY do i have to paste the link ? What is the “{code}” ?
Thanks
Regards

Hello Bruno,
Simply copy the share url generated by Amazon Drive to the FV Player video editor. Our plugin will update it automatically.
Thanks,
JurajSorry, what do you call FV Player video editor, is it that >> (file attached) ?
Hello Bruno,
Yes, that’s it. Simply copy the share URL to the Video field.
Thanks,
JurajHi this is what i get (see attached file) and video does not play.

Hello Bruno,
Does the video play if you open the link directly with your browser?
Thanks,
JurajHi, no it does not play. It opens a browser window (or tab) with my amazon drive where i can see the file. See attached file.

Hello Bruno,
That’s where the problem is. You need to generate share link directly for the video, not for the folder where it is stored. As you can see our Video checker says that the link points towards html/utf-8 file not towards .mp4 video file.
Please open the video in your amazon drive browser and generate share link directly for it.
Thanks,
JurajHello,
That’s what i do. I open the video in by browser then i click on share and copy the link. I can’t see another way to generate the link. Any idea ?
Hello Bruno,
In that case the link should work. Check screenshot in the attachments, link to our video works fine. Can you please send us the link? We would like to test it.
Thanks,

Hello Bruno,
please reinstall FV Player Pro and it should be working for you.
Please just deactivate and delete the current FV Player Pro plugin and then let wp-admin -> Settings -> FV Player reinstall the Pro pack for you, or grab a fresh ZIP file of FV Player Pro from https://foliovision.com/my-licenses and reinstall from that.
Then switch to Beta, here’s how: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta

MartinOk works fine.
Thank you
