    Hi Katrin,

    Thank you for reaching out to us!

    Could you specify what you mean by the ”Enhanced Privacy Mode”, please?

    If you do mean making the videos private, it will restrict the YouTube’s own YouTube Player API (which our player is using for delivering content) to not show the videos even in third party players.

    Even if the video was shown while being private, there would be no problem to download it with any of the free video downloading extensions.

    If you want to protect your videos from downloading, you will, unfortunately, have to look for another hosting solution.

    Thanks,
    Chiara

    Hello Chiara,
    thank you for the answer.
    I meant that you have to use the privacy mode because of the cookies that google uses.
    when you embed a youtube video there is always the possibility to do it through a snippet like this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/video…
    how can I apply to your video player?
    as you know we are in Europe and unfortunately the law is very picky with privacy :-(

    greetings

    Hello Katrin,

    I think I figured it out, please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> Settings -> FV Player screen and the YouTube embeds will use youtube-nocookie.com domain.

    However you will have to switch to Beta: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta

    Hello Martin,
    I have tried it according to your instructions, I now get a preview image, but the video does not start. There is this error message:

    ” html5: Unsupported video format. Install Adobe Flash ”

    Hello Katrin,

    I wonder what could go wrong in your case as it all works fine for us on our websites. Please send us a link to your page where we can see the issue. Your website seems to be password protected.

    Thanks,

    Hello Katrin,

    I tried the video on https://foodeataly.de/bobbio/ in the lightbox and it worked just fine. I was testing with latest Chrome and Firefox on Windows on with Safari on macOS Big Sur.

    I do not see how you could get “html5: Unsupported video format. Install Adobe Flash”. It could only appear if the FV Player Pro script was missing completely. Please try to play the video again.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,

    Is correct because I deleted in the video address “-nocookie” again, otherwise does not run.

    So I had to enter that for privacy:
    https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/IbXvpzONOS8

    Try it just embed any youtube video, goes only without -nocookie extension

    Greetings

    Hello Katrin,

    please use a simple YouTube URL like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=… with FV Player. If you use youtube-nocookie.com there it won’t work. The youtube-nocookie.com domain will be used for the video playback automatically with that new FV Player Pro version in Beta release which I sent the instructions for.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    hello Martin,

    I’ve already followed your instructions, deleted the pro plugin and installed FV Player Pro version in the beta version, but unfortunately it did not work either.

    Greetings

    Hello Katrin,

    the video on https://foodeataly.de/bobbio/ plays for me without issues. I can see it uses a youtube.com URL for the video link.

    Please let me know where I can see the issue.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,

    now I have put the link I need,
    so you can see the error.

    Hello Katrin,

    I’m not sure what you mean, https://foodeataly.de/bobbio/ still plays for me without issues. But it seems to have a youtube.com link still.

    However I think I get it now – you would like to post your YouTube video with https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/… kind of links just in case. So it’s worth making these work with FV Player.

    I fixed that now, so please reinstall FV Player Pro again.

    Perhaps we should be using the enhanced privacy mode only for YouTube videos inserted with youtube-nocookie.com domain, but to me it seems like a good default for all.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Ok thanks, I will try it and get back to you
