playback speed

Hello Varut,

this can be achieved by using the following JavaScript script:

flowplayer(function (api, root) {

api.bind("ready", function (e,api) {

api.speed('1.5');

});

});

You can experiment with keyboards shortcuts shift + left/right arrow to see if it works well with your video.

We could add the speed=”1.5″ option to the shortcode as well to make this much easier. We would be happy to prioritize this feature if you buy our license or if you already have it. We are currently finishing our YouTube integration and it takes a fair amount of time.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Bethany,

we do have speed control and after some testing I can say that it can indeed by increased by 0.1. So we could add that into our plugin.

However we would have to make sure we test all devices, as I’m not sure if mobile devices support all of that. I’ll check if we want to do this with our team.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Casey,

we will add a “step” setting for the speed buttons. The setting will be global with options of 0.1, 0.25 (the new default), 0.5.

The speeds used could be:

0.1 step: 0.1x – 2x in 0.1 incremenes
0.25 step: 0.25x – 2x in 0.25 increments
0.5 step (non-linear): 0.25x, 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x

I see that you would like the 1x – 2x range for the 0.1 step option more steep, but I also see some people might just prefer the 0.1 increments through entire range.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Casey,

sorry about the delay, we were bogged down by solving server issues.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Casey,

with a bit of luck it could be out next week.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Casey,

you can test this new feature in our dev version which you can get here: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/dev.zip Just reinstall the plugin from that ZIP file and check Settings -> FV Player -> Sidewide Flowplayer Defaults -> Speed Step.

Thanks,
Martin

Martin, I deleted the pro version of the plugin and tried to install the dev version. Unfortunately, the dev version does not show up in my wordpress plugins page, and I don’t see a place on the foliovision site where I can re-download the pro version of the plugin.

I must have mis-understood your instructions. Please advise. Is this a support ticket? Basically, where should I go to re-download the pro version of the plugin, and are there any steps I’m missing in installing the dev version?

Thanks, Martin. I’ve gotten the pro pack reinstalled and everything is working as before.

However, I received the below error when attempting to activate the dev plugin…

“fv-wordpress-flowplayer-dev/models/checker.php on line 19”

Let me know if I can do anything on my end to enable the dev version. Alternatively, I can just wait for the updated release, if that’s easier. Thanks again for the assistance, sir.

Thanks!

Thanks, Martin. That did the trick. You guys are doing excellent work.

Should I reinstall the FV Player plugin and keep it in disabled mode so I know when the regular version is updated with the granular speed adjustments? I’m thinking that way I stay on the supported version and receive future updates…does that make sense to you? Or should I not install the FV Player and just check back occasionally to see when to switch back to the supported version?

Hi, Martin. The latest FV player plugin update broke the more granular speed adjustments that worked in the dev version…I’ll reinstall the dev version, but it appears that it was overwritten by the prod version. When will the prod version include this great feature??

Thanks!

Thanks, Martin. That resolved the issue. Carey on, sir!!

Hello Mitchell,

unfortunately we can’t fully control this behavior, as it’s the web browser playing the video and as you can see the implementation of speed controls in it differs from one browser to another.

There is a Web Audio API though: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webaudio/intro/ So perhaps it has its equivalent for video as well, but I was not able to find it.

Please let us know if there is anything else.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Mitch,

We can’t easily solve this issue (maintaining sound at slow speeds). If you find someone else successfully offering very slow speeds with sound on video, please let us know and we’ll take a look to see if we can do something similar.

Thanks!

Making the web work for you, Alec

Hi Kyle,

This feature is available in the free version of FV Player.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hello Leho,

new version of FV Player will have a “fv_flowplayer_conf” filter on fv_flowplayer_conf so you can filter the “speeds” array there. So you can create a mini plugin to do that.

The latest dev version can be obtained here: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Greg,

please check Settings -> FV Player -> Sidewide FV Player Defaults -> Speed Step.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Greg,

I see that even if step is set to 0.5x, the 0.25x option still appears. We will fix that.

Thanks,
Martin

Would you please make it so that i can set the default speed of all of the videos on my site via the general settings so that they go at any speed I select like 1.5 rather than having to have the user set it. Is this already possible? Or can you please add it to your roadmap and ensure it is backwards comparable so that the videos I have already posted on my site can take advantage of this feature? Thanks!

Hello Gabe,

please tell us more about why you need such feature. If we like it, we might just add it. Otherwise we might be able to do it a custom programming job or add some documentation to let some other programming team take care of this for you.

Just adding a bare bones feature like this is fairly easy, but it should also work with FV Player Editor and all.

Thanks,
Martin
