Mute Button? Can it be Shown Next to Volume slider

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Mute Button? Can it be Shown Next to Volume slider

  • dplum 5 years ago

    I am unable to see how to display a Mute Button on the Video Control Bar.

    Without a Mute, the Volume needs to be Changes to very low, which is Not desirable. And it seems that if you click somewhere to the left of the Volume then the Mute Button appears, which is very awkward and Not easily controlled.

    So, how can a Mute Button be Enabled, so that the Volume doesn’t need to be changed to mute?

    Hello dplum,

    We’ve recently updated controls on volume bar. With the new update volume level can be dragged all the way to the left which will mute the sound and show mute icon.

    After clicking on the mute icon the volume will restore to its original level.

    Thanks,
    Juraj

    Can you please add the mute button to allow users mute the volume with a single click? Dragging the volume control all the way to the left is not intuitive, inconvenient, and most of the users won’t know to do that. The volume control is the most frustrating thing about the FV player, and my company is looking to switch to a different player because of this. PLEASE add on option in the admin to show the mute button to the left of the volume slider.

    Hello Steve,

    you can make the speaker icon visible with CSS: https://foliovision.com/player/advanced/css-tips-and-fixes#volume-bar-speaker-icon

    Please read the introduction to that article to get some quick hints on where to place your CSS rules and how to ensure they work.

    YouTube player shows the speaker icon only and you have to hover it to get the volume bar. On the other hand Vimeo doesn’t have it at all, it only has the volume bar. So perhaps we should just show it at all times on the YouTuby skin.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    I followed your directions to make the speaker icon visible, but unfortunately clicking on that icon doesn’t mute the audio. The icon appears, but doesn’t seem to do anything. Is there another step I might be missing?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hello Steve,

    it does work for me. I make that tweak here: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/align-settings

    When you check the HTML code you can find these rules there:

    .flowplayer .fp-volumebtn,
    .flowplayer.no-volume .fp-volumebar {
    ....
    

    What browser are you using? No issues here on Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

    Actually I see the issue on iPad with iOS 13. We will get it fixed.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Steve,

    thank you for the bug report, we have prepared a fix for the next FV Player release to fix the mute button/speaker icon click behavior. The bug has occurred as we improved the cooperation of the volume bar and that mute button: https://foliovision.com/2020/04/reliability-usability-player -> VOLUME BAR IMPROVEMENTS

    If you want to get the fix right away then please reinstall FV Player from this link? https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.

    Thanks,
    Martin
