Hi there,
Great plugin!
I’m currently using the playlist functionality. I have 4 videos in my playlist. I’d like to be able to add a short text description beside each thumbnails. So far I haven’t found any way to do that.
Any trick to make that happen?
thanks!

Hello purelife8899,
thank you for your interest in our plugin!
Currently there is no nice way of doing this, but thank you for the suggestion. If you are a programmer, you could filter on the_content filter and insert your HTML with captions into the <div class=’fp-playlist-external…</div> element, but that would be tricky.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello purelife8899,
we will be adding this feature in one of the next version.
If this feature is important for your work, we would be happy to prioritize the development if you buy our license or order a pro support request .
Thanks,
Martin
I have a license and this is something I’d very much like to see. We use lots of video with up to 10 or so in a single ‘set’.

Hello Andreww,
we will prioritize this feature request, thank you!

Hello Andrew,
we released version 2.2.3 which includes this feature (although the styling might need some tweaks at this point). Please let us know if there is anything else.
Thanks,
Martin
Great, thank you Martin for the update! I will give it a try this weekend!
hello Martin, the caption function works great. However, it doesn’t align properly when the description is long. See example here: “http://puu.sh/8rWg5.png”
in my example above if there are 2 lines description, it wont horizontally align with the ones with 1 line description.
is there a way to adjust that?
btw, I tried to use html tag
to create a line break, but it doesn’t understand html. It literally displays
on the desctription.
Hello purelife8899,
as a quick fix, could you please make the short captions a bit longer, so they would show up on two lines as well?
We are thinking about how to fix this in CSS without having to include a heavy grid layout JS.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks Martin, I was also wondering if there is a trick to add empty space to make it fits in 2 lines instead of 1 or to make it accept html tags so I could create a line break
Hello purelife8899,
unfortunately a quick fix you will have to make the captions more descriptive – just make the caption a bit longer by adding what could be a subtitle.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello purelife8899,
if you deactivate and delete the plugin now and then reinstall it, you will get our fixed CSS which should fix your issue.
Please re-save the plugin options if you don’t see this fixed after you re-install the plugin and then have a look again.
Thanks,
Martin
Martin, you are a TRUE genius!
Wow, it works like a charm. Looking so good now!
I’m truly amazed of the service you and your team are providing. I wasn’t expected such a quick fix!
Seriously you really really really rock!
Only good things about your FV wordpress!
and THANK YOU!
Hello purelife8899,
thank you for your kind words!
Stay tuned for FV Player Pro which will bring more amazing features.
Thanks,
Martin
On my site ‘www.learaboutlifesettlements.com’ the video plugin playa perfectly on Chrome but is having major issues playing on firefox and IE. Any suggestions?
hi,
i’d like to ask some info about the playlists. Is it possible to remove the clip thumbnails altogether? Also, is it possible to make a playlist with a start time so it runs continuously like a live stream?
Thanks
Hello Miguel,
you can add playlist_hide=”true” to the shortcode and the playlist buttons won’t appear. We are working on a better way of adding the pre-roll and post-roll video ads though.
I’m not sure what do you mean by the playlist start time. Do you mean that you want to have say 24 hours of videos in playlist and then always start at a specific video depending on what time it is? I’m not sure if that makes sense to a lot of our users, but can you share more details?
Thanks,
Martin
hi,
i meant to hide the clip thumbnails under the player and have an always running playlist without giving next/previous control to users. Basically i mean to have a virtual 24h channel with a playlist running at all times. Is there any way this is possible to achieve?
Thanks
Hello Miguel,
yes, playlist_hide=”true” will hide the playlist controls. Then add autoplay=”true” and loop=”true” and it will play forever. This won’t work on iDevices etc. as they won’t allow any video to autoplay to preserve mobile internet connection bandwidth.
Please note that if one video is MP4 format, all the videos have to use the same format. Same if you provide MP4 and RTMP – all the videos in playlist must use that as well.
Thanks,
Martin
I found posts re existing, operational playlists, but I’m unable to find any instructions on your site for installing playlists.
Hello Norman,
we will add the documentation.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello!
Our new documentation about playlists has been updated.
Hi,
Wanted add a title etc to a youtube playlist. But the link: https://foliovision.com/player/how-create-playlists is broken
any help ?
Hello Frank,
sorry about that, the link was fixed now.
Thanks,
Martin
hi martin
thanks for the ultra fast reply ;-)as i have a playlist (youtube) working with thumbs, before i mess around with the codes. is it even possible to get the youtube title into the playlist to show it below the thumbs like on selfhosted videos?
Hello Frank,
at this point you have to add the captions manually. This could be parsed from YouTube API though. We will have a look at this and decide if we will add this feature.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Frank,
We’ll get the title across (not the description though as they are usually far too long). This feature is about ten days away.
Cheers,
Alec
