Hello,
I am wondering if your player supports urls containing http header redirect to the absolute path of the video file.I’ve tried it with the wordpress plugin, when I specify the direct url of the video (ending in .mp4) as src, everything works fine. But after replacing the direct url to a redirect url (eg. php file containing header location redirect), it gives html5 unsupported audio format error in browsers which doesn’t support flash. Playing redirect urls works fine in browsers which do have flash, since the player doesn’t recognise the redirect url as a html5 video, so it falls back to flash.
I’ve just tested that a simple html5 video tag supports playing videos from redirect urls, like this:
I assume you can fix this “bug” and make your player also support redirect urls. It would be a great feature for us.
Thank you for considering this!
Kind regards,
Gergely

Hello Gergely,
FV Player checks the URL extension to determine the video type.
While we might improve that in the future, here’s what kind of URL you can use to make sure FV Player detects the video type properly even if it’s a result of a PHP script:
https://foliovision.com/video-location-header.php#.mp4
Adding the extension behind a hashmark is a little trick to make sure it assumes that as a video file type.
Thanks,
Martin
