Set start/end time in an iframe

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Set start/end time in an iframe

  • Gabriele 3 years, 7 months ago

    Hello,

    via a custom wordpress module I use the parameters “Start/End Time” within the FV Player shortcodes.

    => https://foliovision.com/player/advanced/custom-start-end-time
    => https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/shortcode-parameters

    I also use the video link function within the wordpress environment:

    => https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/creating-video-links

    Here my question:

    Is there a “workaround” how I can pass this “start/end time” also via URL paramter, so that I can define the “start/end time” via a URL for an external IFrame?

    Pseudo code example:

    <iframe src=”[ URL-TO-FOLIOVISION-PLAYER ],[ START-SECOND(S) ],[ STOP-SECOND(S) ]” allowfullscreen width=”720″ height=”480″ frameborder=”0″ style=”max-width:100%”></iframe>

    Background:

    I get the start and end times for a particular scene via an external script search. I want to use these times to generate an external preview within an IFrame.

    Best regards

    André

    Hello André,

    are you having issues with this feature?

    I have tested it out and the time signature is already included in the generated iFrame. I am talking about the iFrames you can generate by the Embed button: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/using-iframe-embedding

    For example, if you were to generate an iFrame from the link included here: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/creating-video-links

    The iFrame would look like this:

     < iframe src="https://foliovision.com/2017/04/fvplayer-video-links-and-other-improvements#fvp_196881410?t=19s" allowfullscreen  width="610" height="490" frameborder="0" style="max-width:100%"> 

    already having the start time in the link and would then stop at the predefined time too.

    Thanks,
    Maria

    Hello Mária,

    Thank you very much for the quick answer.

    I know the “embed” function, but with it I can only set the start time, but not the time when the video should stop running. The video always plays through the end.

    But I want to play in a video of 5 minutes length only the part from minute 1 to minute 2 for example.

    Best regards!

    Hello André,

    is it important to prevent the users from seeking outside of your desired start and end times?

    FV Player does have the custom start and end times which are easy to set in PHP, but now so in JavaScript. However that also prevents playback outside of the bounds.

    We do not have a feature to stop a video at a set time currently, unless it’s the custom end time.

    Thanks,
    Martin
