How to resize play button?

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › How to resize play button?

  • Dave Williams 15 years, 4 months ago

    Can the size of the floating play image be adjusted in size when scaling a video? If you look at http://realestatecareertraps.com/about/market-centers/allentown-market-center/ you’ll see that the play image is over powering and the video window would be more balanced with a smaller play image.

    Any idea how to make adjustments? I tried replacing the “play.png” with a smaller image in the image folder but the png was automatically scaled larger by the code :-(

    thx…

    Hi Dave,

    the size of the play button is fixed at the moment and it is defined in the fv-wordpress-flowplayer/models/flowplayer-frontend.php file on line 118. It is set to 83 pixels, that’s why the smaller picture you uploaded got scaled up.
    If you like to make the image smaller, change the size here.
    We will consider making this play button more adjustable, thanks for your comment.

    Hi Zdenka,

    Thanks for letting Dave know. Adjusting play button size is not a priority feature. The current size works with most videos.

    Thanks for the info on how to adjust the size of play button… having a smaller button really made a difference.

    Is there a way to move the button to the top right or left of the play window? I found the code which I believe centers the button ($height/2-45). What could I use to shift the button to a different location?

    thx…

    Hi Dave,

    you found it right, this piece of code controls the horizontal position of the play button, try using for example 0 instead.
    See our FAQ for more info.

    Thanks Zdenka

    I replaced style=”top: ‘.round($height/2-45).’px; border:0;” with style=”position: absolute; left: 10px; border:0;” and I now have exactly what I needed.

    Such a great plugin to work with….

    For years I had changed the play button size by reducing the code in the frontend.php file. However with your latest update I cannot find the code for the play button anymore. Could you please tell me where it is now so that I can change it. Thanks.

    Hello George,

    please refer to “How can I change the play icon?” question in the FV Flowplayer FAQ.

    It might be a bit trickier, but it actually survives the plugin updates, so if you know a bit of CSS, you can do it and not worry about it going forward.

    Please let us know how it goes, we are always looking for ways to improve our documentation.

    Thanks,
    Martin
