I have enabled embed code on FV Player Settings. But the embed codes generated by FV player don’t work. I get a blank white screen.
However, when I test embed codes from your demo players on your website, they work perfect. What could be the issue?
I can give you access to my demo website to help with this. But here’s the embed code (Shared via Google Doc because I don’t want to post the website URL in the forum): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l0zXXCcUT4AV6q0WNCYIzGSfAxtcdiBE_-VjK5YvnNE/edit?usp=sharing

Hello Deewin,
I checked that embed code and it works, in a way. The proper HTML code is present, but it’s all invisible.
It seems the player CSS code does not load. So I wonder if you use anything to optimize your CSS code and then it does not work with FV Player iframe embeds. If that’s the case, try to disable that CSS optimization.
You can also try to enable “Load FV Flowplayer JS everywhere”: https://foliovision.com/player/developers/dynamic-content-loading#loading It says JS, but will load the CSS files too. It’s not ideal but worth trying.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks for your reply.
I’m not even optimizing the CSS. I have disabled the cache plugin and still it doesn’t work.
I have also enabled JS everywhere and it doesn’t work as well. Any other thing I can try?
Hello Deewin,
I had a look at your page and you are using FlyingPress. It seems to load all CSS files in HTML code directly and does not link to them using URLs. The goal of that must be to lower the amount of HTTP requests required to display the page. This apparently does not work with FV Player iframe codes. Maybe it’s something FlyingPress enables by default.
Please try to disable FlyingPress CSS optimizations on pages with URL matching
/fvp.Or you can try to exclude
fv-flowplayer-custom/style-1.cssfrom it.Thanks,
Martin
I have just enabled FlyingPress a while ago. It wasn’t running. However, I have excluded both and it’s not working. I have since disabled FlyingPress again, and it’s not working.
However, I have realized that the embed feature isn’t something I can work with right now. I thought I can use embed codes to embed videos on a page as opposed to shortcodes.
But the Embed function has to be active all the time for it to work. That means, I have to post the video on the body of a post for embeds to work.
Is there a way I can create an iframe from a shortcode? I have a special feature on my theme that can hook a video on the featured image area but it only supports iframes.
Hello Deewin,
Using iframe embed codes for featured image area would result in poor performance. The page would be slower to load and your server would have to work twice as much to serve the page.
Shortcodes are a standard WordPress feature, so I would suggest you ask your theme developers about supporting that for their featured image area.
We are also happy to help and code this right on your website if you order our services: https://foliovision.com/store/making-player-theme
That way we could probably figure out the FlyingPress issues on your website too.
Thanks,
Martin
I have some good news.
My developer has managed to integrate shortcodes into the video embed area. So now FV Player videos are working great.
I have another issue, so I will create a separate post.
