We are using the Pro Version on a couple of websites. We’d like to be able to show the YouTube link as the src in the WordPress shortcode, but have a scr1 which leads to the same video stored on our S3 server. We’d like to do this so if YouTube pulls our video (or the file/URI is not found) for any reason, the player will default to the S3 version of the same video. Is there any way to do this? If not, are there any custom solutions available?

Hello Project V.,
we will test if this would work and let you know.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello Project V.,
we created some code for this, but we would like to make it part of our new FV Player modular structure. I estimate it might be ready in the first week of August.
Thanks,
Martin
Cool, thanks.
Hello Project V.,
unfortunately we were busy solving issues related to HLS stream error handling in Safari and iOS. We have to move this to the end of august.
Here is a quick technology demo: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/alternative-sources

Hello Martin,
We are still seeing this same problem. When trying to load the broken YouTube link as the first source with a working link as the second source, it displays a video not working message.
Hello Project V.,
FV Player Alternative Sources is our new extension which lets FV Player try different video sources in case the primary video doesn’t work. You can purchase it here: https://foliovision.com/downloads/player-alternative-sources
To add backup videos simple use the “Add another format” in FV Player editor: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/start-up-guide#insert-videos
Let us know when you have set it up, so we can double check that it works properly – you are one of he first users on this new extension.
Thanks,
Martin
