Open a New Webpage after a Video is finished Playing

Mark Choo 13 years, 9 months ago

Hello – I am new to word press and I am looking for a plug-in or options to have a new webpage open as soon as a video on my page is finished playing. One of the admins from the Graphene theme for WordPress suggested your player, so is there a way to do this in your player?

I am using: WordPress 3.2.1 on Windows 7 system, I am also using a .MOV file. I planned on uploading the file to my site on a new webpage, and I would like to have the video play on that page.

Thank You,
Mark

Hello Mark,

yes our player supports ‘redirect’ option, so when the video finishes playing, a new page is opened. The shortcode to be added is simply redirect='http://example.com'

Zdenka – Thank you so much, I will give that a try! Where exactly do I have to put that code?

Hi Mark,

just add the shortcode as usual, and insert the above code into it. So the example can look something like:
[flowplayer src='example.mp4' redirect='http://example.com']

Of course you can define other parameters such as width, height and splash image as well in the shortcode.

Hi There!

This works fine in Firefox, but in Chrome, only a pop-up windows opens, is it possible to open it in an new browserwindow as well?

Kind regards!

Hi Sito,

this depends on the browsers behavior. We are opening a new window in all browsers, but it Chrome does not allow this, and it opens everything as popup.

Hello Zdenka,

That’s to bad, and also sad…I’ts a great function, but if this does not work for Chrome then I can not use it…

Thank you ver much for the answer, and is there a change for you to update this function so it will work in Chrome?

I am also having a problem with Chrome redirecting after playing the video. What can I do to remedy this problem?

Now I am discovering that this does not forward on the iPad…anyway to correct this?

Hello Philip,

we fixed this – if a window popup fails, it opens the link in the same window. Users can still go back to your site by hitting the back button in their browser. If you have a playlist, this triggers only on last video.

This will get to 2.2.2 version, you can get the latest dev version here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.zip

Thanks,

is there a way to redirect in the same windows instead of opening a new windows ?

Martin 11 years ago

Hello purelife8899,

the redirect opens in the same window, if the popup is blocked. So the URL opens all the time, even if there is a popup blocker.

Thanks,

Hello,
I have a similar question. I _want_ the redirect to open in the same tab, not to open a new tab, because I am redirecting within the WordPress site. And of course I can’t control whether the user is blocking pop-ups. Is there a way to configure “redirect” within FV Player so it opens in the same tab?
thanks!

Hi Russell,

The player should redirect in the same window by default. Does it open a new tab for you?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Eduard,
Yes, it opens a new tab every time. The problem is that I’m building a site for kids and they’ll get confused.
Thanks!

Hi again Eduard,
I just tried the site in GoogleChrome–and it does open in the same window there. But in Safari it opens a new tab, both on MacBook and on iPad. This seems to be a Safari problem, but it doesn’t happen when you click within the WordPress site. Is there anything I can do to avoid this, to redirect within the same WordPress site?
thanks!

Hi again (3rd time!),
I’m sorry to keep writing, but I realized there’s a better way to explain what I need. Is there a way to redirect to a post or page in the same WordPress site _without_ calling a full URL (which makes Safari open a new window)?
thanks again!

Hi Eduard,
Yes it opens a new tab, but it seems like this might be a Safari problem. It works properly in Chrome, but opens a new tab in Safari on both iPad and MacBook. Is there a workaround?
thanks,
Russell

Hi Russel,

I did some testing in Safari in both Yosemite and Sierra and also on iOS (iPad Pro – iOS 10) and the redirection never opened a new tab. Could you try it in this demo and let me know if you are getting the redirection in a new tab?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Eduard,
The link you provided reopened the same webpage (the forum thread) in the same window. I think that’s what you meant.
Here is the shortcode that keeps opening a new tab on Safari 9.1.2 on El Capitan (MacBook Pro, 13-inch, mid-2012)
[fvplayer src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enccom-encodings/Block1010/Block1010-HLS/KCO_EPS1010_%2BBreak_146952167.m3u8" splash="http://teamwonderreel.online/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/T-BlockRace.png" autoplay="true" controlbar="yes" redirect="http://teamwonderreel.online/blocksubq/"]

Have I done something wrong here?
thanks,
Russell

Hello Russell,

I’m using Safari 9.1.3 on iOS 10.9.5 and it doesn’t open in a new tab for me.

Actually FV Player tries to open a new tab first and if it fails it then opens the link in the same window. So perhaps you allowed these popup for your site domain.

Perhaps there could be a preference if it should try to open new tab or always use the existing tag. We will discuss this in our team.

Thanks,
Martin
