splash screen via video preload

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › splash screen via video preload

  • EdFritz 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi, is it possible to have fvplayer present the actual video image without the opacity overlay. I’d like to not use the screen overlay feature as my primary way to present video. Is there a short code to disable the overlay. Does this request require special CSS support from your team to enable.

    Hello Ed,

    I’m not totally sure what you mean. If it’s the sharing bar which appears when you hover the video during playback, that can be disabled in options, just read our announcement article here: http://foliovision.com/2014/06/video-share-bar

    If you mean that your logo show over the video splash screen, then you can get rid of it in CSS, just use the .is-splash .fp-logo selector.

    If you mean that your logo has a transparent gray colored background – I’m not sure what could cause that. Perhaps there is a color profile on your image which you can try to remove and see if it helps.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    I need to be clearer. My question is not about logos or sharing bar. When I post a video, I do not want to create or use a special splash screen. I want to simple use the video image but I do not know how to disable the hazy white overlay that is above the video content. I hope that makes sense…

    thanks,

    Hello Ed,

    I see, it’s not an hazy overlay, but a color which you selected Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Player Skin -> Canvas.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    What color is best for opacity. Please provide. I spent a lot of time putting in different colors but still had the same effect. Also provide CSS file and line number where this can be adjusted.

    Hello Ed,

    I suggest you try putting in black color and see how it looks like. No need to go to any CSS file as the setting is available in the plugin settings panel. It uses .flowplayer { background: #{color} !important; } kind of CSS.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,

    That did not work. I have tried to be specific in my request. I want to display the video beneath the canvas. When I changed the canvas setting to black, the result was of coarse the video container was just a black screen. Can you provide the CSS file name and Line Number that adjustment can be made to flow player. I need to adjust/add setting for with luminosity of opacity. (I think)…
    thanks,
    Ed

    Hello Ed,

    we will investigate this issue. If the autobuffering is enabled, this should work – the first frame of the video should show up – thus no need for splash image. It wastes the server bandwidth, as it has to load a bit of the video (more than just an image) and different browsers treat it differently, so it’s not without flaws.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,

    I agree, I’d like to prevent using a splash image. FYI, It still did not display video page, even after I enabled auto buffering, cleared CDN and Browser cache ! I also tried Firefox and Chrome.
    Let me know if you need any info for your investigation.
    thanks, Ed

    Martin,

    I am curious why the status of this support request is solved ? The flaw in flowplayer persists. http://prntscr.com/45aaf1

    EdFritz 11 years ago

    I also update plugins V2.2.19 to todays release and there was not change in flow player.

    I also tried in Chrome/Firefox and reset all caches….

    Hello Ed,

    sorry about that, I forgot to remove the “solved” tag. Thank you for the screenshots too. We are still looking into this.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Ed,

    we are about to release a new version of FV Flowplayer which fixes the autobuffering.

    However there is no such option to load the beginning of the video and show the first frame of it. It could be scripted, but there is no such option as per HTML5 video specs: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/video.html

    Thanks
    Martin

    Hello Ed,

    unfortunately we had to hold the update for autobuffering, as it was breaking certain FV Player Pro features, like YouTube embedding. We first need to make sure it all works together.

    Thanks,
    Martin
