Is it possible to limit the number of seconds someone can view for a video and then it stops with a message or not?
I want to use the same video for unregistered users that I use for registered users, but I want to show the whole video to registered users.
I can handle anything programmatically when it comes to detecting and calling the right functionality, in other words, I don’t need FV player to know whether its dealing with a registered or unregistered user, I just need to be able to tell the player to only show X seconds of the video and then stop, and display a message if possible.
thanks

Hello Taco,
I apologize for the late reply. Yes, this can be done as a part of Pay Per View video memberships integration with Restrict Content. It lets you set a preview video for non-members and asks them to become a member to access the full video. You can learn more here: https://foliovision.com/player/membership-ppv-elearning/ppv/sell-video-subscriptions-wordpress
As for other solutions, we do not currently offer anything else that would disallow to continue playback after a message is shown. Our programmer Martin may be able to help you figure out something else, however, he’s on a well deserved vacation at the moment. Also, please keep in mind that based on the amount of work, this may need to be considered a paid Pro Support Incident.
Alternatively, if you’re able to figure out the part of restricting further playback yourself, the following features may help you: the custom start-end time (https://foliovision.com/player/features/playback/custom-start-end-time) to tell the player when to stop and an html pop-up to display the message: https://foliovision.com/player/video-ads/built-advertising-tools/setting-up-html-popups. Please keep in mind that these features do not provide any video protection.
Making the web work for you,
Maria
That’s brilliant, thanks for the reply. The last two solutions are exactly what I need. As long as I can define both of these in the shortcode I will be fine, and it seems I will be able to. Thanks again.
Hello Taco,
That’s great to hear. Yes, both can be defined in manual shortcodes.
Custom start-end time can be found in the guide.
As for HTML popups, those are created in the settings and then you call them by adding the “popup” parameter and a number of the popup. Like this: popup=”2″
Thanks,
Maria
