Hello, I am just getting started with FV player after using JW Player for many years.
I used your conversion feature to convert my JW shortcode to FV shortcode and it worked great on my test site.
I am getting ready to convert videos on a larger site and I would like to get something straightened out first. FV player automatically added captions to videos that had previously been identified with just the media id, not a full URL. I don’t want that how can I disable this setting before launching conversion?
Example:
[jwplayer mediaid=”3458″] converts to
[fvplayer src="http://domain.com/../video.mp4" splash="http://domain.com/../image.jpg" caption="video caption"]

Hello tgos,
Currently we don’t offer any settings to the JW Player conversion. I’ll discuss this with our development team and I’ll get in touch with you in the close future with more info.
Thanks for choosing our player!

Thank you for the response
Hello Tgos,
are you using any other [fvplayer] shortcodes on your website? If not, then you can safely run a seach and replace filter on your website database which changes
/ caption=".*?"\]/
to just
]
A plugin like Search Regex can help you with that, it also lets you preview the changes. But you have to be able to backup your database just in case and have an idea about what that Regex I just posted means.
Other approach would be to modify the FV Player PHP code a bit before running the import. Since it’s just a one of import (I guess it is) it shouldn’t be a problem that your change is then overwritte on plugin update.
The plugin file and line to tweak would be models/conversion.php, jus remove these two lines:
https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/models/conversion.php#L164
https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/models/conversion.php#L178I also see that we could be improving the import routine to create FV Player instances in database rather than storing it all in shortcodes.
Thanks,
Martin
HI Martin, thanks for following up. I will def. try these suggestions and will let you know how they worked out.
Hi Martin
I had no luck with the search/replace terms, but modifying the plugin code worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
