Hi! I am looking to access the FV PLayer ‘Synopsis’ field via JS, but I don’t see it in the api object returned via flowplayer(function (api, root). I have the field enabled in the Settings, and the field populated in my FV Player video. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is it not accessible?
If this is not accessible via JS, is there a different attribute available that I can story a value per video and access in JS? Thanks!

Hello Matthew,
Please let us know what is your goal so that we can see if we could add this to the API. Perhaps it should show in the new playlist styles which we are finalizing for FV Player 8.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
Thanks! That is probably a better place to start as I was just trying to cobble together what I thought would be easily accessible in the DOM (i.e. the synopsis).
Generically (and larger scope), I would love to be able to include an array of key/val pairs that is saved on the player form (for my non-programmer teammates) and is available for me in the DOM to consume/trigger custom JS.
I have a few use cases, but the one I am working on right now is that for each video we have, I would like to be able to allow our page authors to specify a specific time (dur in seconds) on the player form, as an attribute. When the video gets to that time code, I would like to trigger an event, probably showing a div (that was previously hidden) and send an event to our analytics software (Matomo) to better track and engage with viewers. This val would be available in any of the pages where the video is used.
Hello Matthew,
In FV Player 8 (which should be out for new users soon, it’s waiting on the WordPress.org list of new plugins) we are making it much easier to add new editor fields using just PHP code. So then you can use PHP filter hooks to put them into any of the player attributes or into the FV Player video objects (
api.video, when it plays) in JavaScript.Thanks,
Martin
