Pause video at a specific time based on custom field value

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the example.

I’m wondering if a video greater than 1 min in length should be converted and supplied in seconds. Should it?

Good day,

I’m looking into a hook to resume the video after it has been pause.

I’ve already went ahead to pause the video when the player reaches to a specific time. The user will be required to click some html that will trigger a resume. However, we’re not seeing a hook for resume. Can you please let me know if there’s a hook for this feature?

I’m also attaching some lines of code below of what we came up with to pause and display our custom html using the FV player. Hope it’s a bit useful to explain our case.

//Pause video on timestamp
add_filter( 'fv_flowplayer_inner_html', 'my_fv_player_custom_popup');

function my_fv_player_custom_popup($html) {

    if( have_rows('video_settings_basic_video_settings_overlay_content') ):
        while ( have_rows('video_settings_basic_video_settings_overlay_content') ) : the_row();

        $videostop_value = get_sub_field('video_time_stop_2');
        $pull_over = get_sub_field('pull_over_content_2');

    $time = $videostop_value;
    $timeArr = array_reverse(explode(":", $time));
    $seconds = 0;
    foreach ($timeArr as $key => $value)
    {
        if ($key > 2) break;
        $seconds += pow(60, $key) * $value;
    }
    $timeInSeconds = $seconds;
  $html .= "<div class='my-custom-popup' data-attr='".$pull_over."/?botframe=on'><div class='my-custom-popup-content' data-attr='".$timeInSeconds."'></div></div>";
 
  endwhile;

else :


endif;

 
  return $html;
}

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

Would flowplayer(0).resume() work multiple times for the same player?

The idea is to have multiple stop points and the ability to resume. The developer was having a bit of issue with it.

Hi Martin,

I’ve been having some issues with getting the video to play and then pause based on the time stops passed in to the player via some custom fields.

So this is my sample code and explanation below :

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  if( typeof(flowplayer) != "undefined" ) {
    flowplayer( function(api,root) {
      api.bind('ready', function() {});

      var paused = false;
      api.bind('progress', function(e,api,time) {

        var timepause = jQuery('.my-custom-popup-content').data("attr");
        var fixtime = time.toFixed();

        if( !paused && fixtime == timepause ) {
          api.pause();
          paused = true;
          alert("Hello! I am an alert box!!");
        }  
      });
    }); 
  }
});

So lets say the time stops 10 and 20 were passed through the “my-custom-popup-content” data attribute. When the video reaches 10s it pauses at the first instance, the alert is triggered and upon closing the video resumes. However it doesn’t popup for the 20s time stop or any other subsequent time stops. Am I using the right set of functions to get the job done?

Kindly advise, Thanks.

Hello Martin,

I’ve been trying to get this solution working for a while now, but no luck. The values are passing but the video is not stopping on the timepause.

Is this something pro support can sort out for me? Or is that out of the scope?

Thanks for your response.

I’ll open a Pro support for this.
