Hi Ningthoukhomba,
We’ve discussed the “click to unmute” feature with our Senior programmer Martin and we’ve came out with simple idea. We’re not fans of covering up the whole video with transparent button to unmute the video wherever you click. We think that this solution would lead to many situations when users simply want to pause the video but would accidentally just unmute it instead. Which could be really annoying by our opinion.
However, we like the way how Youtube is dealing with this problem on mobile devices with a simple but noticeable button in the upper left corner of the video.
Do you have any other suggestions on how we can do it? If yes, don’t hesitate to leave your ideas in a reply.
Thanks for being part of the Foliovision,

What if you put the volume button the left center of the video with highlight so that everybody see the volume button and will audio on the button whenever they want..
Also I have a problem with ur volume button right now as I click the button and then if I click anywhere in the left side of the video the video gone mute…
Btw what about skip button which I suggested (Skip some seconds as button or double tap)And the unmute when click anywhere thing what I am suggesting is about clicking first time only.. let’s say someone enter the video post and when they click for the first time in the post the video becomes unmute. only for first time.
Hi Ningthoukhomba,
Thanks for all the recommendations. I’ve tested few other player to see how they are dealing with this issue and I have to say that I like the Youtube’s way the most. Here’s a link to image to show you how does it work: https://i.stack.imgur.com/f3QUl.png
Now for the double tap fast forwarding request. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the double click solution that Youtube is using.
However, we already have a solution for fast rewinding and it is called Rewind button. You can find more info on the Rewind button documentation page
I’ll discuss both features with our team and we’ll keep you posted about it.
Thanks for giving us useful feedback,
Juraj
Hi Ningthoukhomba,
If you’d like to add gestures or change the default behaviour on tap (should be pause), that would be a great space for custom development. We can either do the work for you (as custom paid development) or let you know where to make the modifications.
I’m a big fan of keeping an interface simple and standard. If features are default on YouTube, Vimeo or Netflix (or preferably two out of three), I’m keener to make them available or add them as defaults in FV Player.
Thanks for being part of Foliovision!
Hello Ningthoukhomba,
the best way of hooking into the player functionality is the use the flowplayer callback function as Flowplayer is the core video engine of FV Player.
I recommend you read our Programmer’s Guide, there you will find this part:
flowplayer( function(api,root) { api.bind('ready', function() { alert( 'Video just started!' ); }); });
Since root is the player element, you can detect double click on that, just wrap it in jQuery to make it easier to work with. If that doesn’t work, I suggest you try jQuery(‘.fp-ui’,root) and detect double click on that.
To seek forward just call api.seek(true).
Thanks,
MartinI want to report a bug in ur player..
As I lower some volume by clicking ur volume icon but if I click in the left side of the screen it becomes muted or in the right side of the screen it’s volume become full. There is some bugs I think in ur player as the volume icon can be lowered or rised not through the icon but through some gestures which is very inappropriate.Pls check thisHello Ningthoukhomba,
What type of device or browser are you experiencing the bug? I’ve tested our player on both mobile and computer with several web browsers and I haven’t experienced the bug that you’re describing.
On desktop our volume adjustment “bar” work as “Click and drag”. You’re supposed to click on the bar, hold the mouse button and drag to left or right to adjust the sound.
Maybe I am missing something.
Thanks,
Juraj
It is happening in Chrome browser for mobile device.
Pls check this video for the reference

I’ve reposted your answers to the Forums. Could you please write your replies here instead of writing on mail? You could save us from a lot of work with managing the communication and keeping it clear. We would really appreciate that. Thanks!
Now for the issue: I’ve tested your site and I can probably see what you’re referring to. I’ll discuss this behaviour with our development team for more information and I’ll keep you posted about it.
Thanks for using our player,

Hello Ningthoukhomba,
we have prepared a fix for that mobile volume bar issue for the next FV Player release.
Regarding your “click to unmute” request – I noticed that we are not showing the mute icon properly for Vimeo videos which autoplay on desktop computers, so we will get that fixed and then it’s obvious where the user has to click to bring up the video sound.
Thanks,
Martin
