Autoplay multiple videos at once

Hello Charles,

autoplay is one of the global FV Player settings, but it can also be enabled on a per-player basis: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/autoplay

Here is a video which is set to autoplay and it’s streaming from Vimeo using MPEG-DASH or HLS: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/autoplay

The inline video playback on iPhone is supported since iOS version 10 and FV Player supports that.

Please let us know if you have any other question.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Charles,

latest Chrome doesn’t permit video autoplay unless specific conditions are met, so in FV Player 6 we had to disable it: https://foliovision.com/2018/05/video-autoplay-issues

This is fixed in FV Player 7 Beta which you can get as a Pro user: https://foliovision.com/2018/06/fv-player-7-beta

Are you looking to play multiple videos at once? Please let us know. FV Player doesn’t work that way unfortunately.

I’m trying to think how we could make a feature like this part of the core FV Player plugin. We had a request to pause the previously playing video when clicking another one to play, but this one is one step further.

If you know HTML you can save the HTML of https://coffeesevereweather.com/live-cameras/ to a file and get rid of the is-splash classes there and see if it works the way you imagined. It might not autoplay all of the videos, but at least you would see if they all play at once if you click them one by one. You might need o save it on https://coffeesevereweather.com to a file like https://coffeesevereweather.com/test.html.

If you know a bit about PHP and editing of files you could try to put code like this into your theme functions.php to see if it helps, but I would consider it highly experimental – meaning you should test all the different FV Player video setups you are using:

add_filter( 'fv_flowplayer_attributes', 'tweak_fv_flowplayer_class' );

function tweak_fv_flowplayer_class( $attributes ) {
  $attributes['class'] = str_replace( 'is-splash', '', $attributes['class'] );
  return $attributes;
}

Thanks,
Martin
