Hi,
I could not figure out how to display the video title in the thumbnail and in the overlay of the currently playing video.
Thanks for you help!

Hi Jan,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Is your question regarding single videos or a video playlist?

To display the title in the thumbnail of a single video, you can either upload a Splash image with a text (title) to the video or just use the Splash text: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/adding-title-and-splash-text#splash-text. You can activate it by checking the box in Settings –> FV Player –> Setup tab –> Post Interface Options and then edit it directly in the FV Player shortcode editor.

If you mean playlist, there are several playlist styles showing the video titles in thumbnail that you can choose from: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/playlist-styles.

I’ll forward your question about the overlay during the currently playing video to our programmer’s team and we’ll get back to you soon.

Thanks,
Chiara

Hi Chiara,
thanks for the answer! Actually I just want to display the title over self-hosted videos in thumbnail view. A hove effect would also be nice, but I guess I can build something with jQuery.
All the best,
Jan
