I want to create a playlist of videos via shortcode, and each video with a different title.
However in the documentation on playlists section, is not explained how to assign a title to each video on the playlist (using a shortcode).On playlist documentation page, there is an example of a playlist with each video with different title: PLAYLIST WITH TEXT ITEMS
How can I accomplish this with a shortcode only, not using built-in playlist editor.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Victor,
thank you for reaching out to us!
The shortcode parameter for title is : title=”Example Name”
You can find this parameter, alongside the list of all the other shortcode parameters, here: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/shortcode-parameters
Thanks,
MariaThanks Mária but it is not clear to me how can I use it in a playlist shortcode to assign titles to videos.
If I want to have a playlist with video1.mp4, video2.mp4, video3.mp4 and video4.mp4 then I would use this shortcode:[fvplayer src="https://source.com/video1.mp4" title="Video 1" playlist="https://source.com/video2.mp4;https://source.com/video3.mp4;https://source.com/video4.mp4"
What I am trying to understand is how to insert title=”Example Name” inside the playlist line.
This way does not work:[fvplayer src="https://source.com/video1.mp4" title="Video 1" playlist="https://source.com/video2.mp4 title="Video 2";https://source.com/video3.mp4 title="Video 3";https://source.com/video4.mp4title="Video 4""
Hello Victor,
I see. I apologize for my incomplete first answer.
actually, this would be done by adding:
caption="Video 1;Video 2;Video 3"
at the end.
Like this:
[fvplayer src="https://source.com/video1.mp4" playlist="https://source.com/video2.mp4;https://source.com/video3.mp4" caption="Video 1;Video 2;Video 3"]
Let me know, if it works.
Thanks,
MariaThanks Mária, it works.
I see that when using caption=”Video 1;Video 2;Video 3″ it ignores the title=”Example Name” for the first video.
Is there complete documentation about all shorcodes and parameters?
This link is does not contain all parameters for shortcodes: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/shortcode-parametersHere is an example documentation of what I would like to see for your product: https://docs.imember360.com/category/shortcodes/
Hello Victor,
I understand what you mean. In fact, the captions are mentioned in the playlist parameter description:” It can also contain the captions and the splash images of the listed videos.” But it is understandable, how such an vague mention does not help a lot. The thing is that most people use the user-friendly shortcode editor these days, so that is where our focus for the most part.
That being said, I definitely see where you’re coming from. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We will revise the shortcode parameters guide. Other than that, you often can find shortcodes in guides for particular features, but we do not have any other documentation solely dedicated to shortcodes.
Apart from this one, are there other parameters you are missing or find the instructions for unclear? In the meantime, should you have issues finding any other parameters, just let us know and we’ll be glad to help.
Thanks,
Maria
