Hi I have gone through all the discussions regarding chapters and tried out several of them but I cannot see the chapters on the time line. I am using horizontal playlist and the 3rd clip titles shohatto has 25 chpaters non of which are showing on the time line. I have also tried to embed this as a solo video and no luck there either. u can access here https://www.aikidooflondon.com/archway-urban-aikido/ password test
also single videos have scrolling thumbnails on the timeline but not in the playlist. SOme assistance please.

Hello Ismail,
it seems that you are inserting a whole Vimeo Album or Showcase using FV Player. Unfortunately the chapters are not processed when using that. It’s not impossible, but it would be a fairly big addition.
These chapters only show if you post the exact video URL using FV Player Editor – it populates the “Chapters” field in the “Subtitles” tab: https://foliovision.com/player/features/accessibility/vtt-chapters#how-to-use-vtt-chapters
If that field wouldn’t populate for you, then the issue could be with the Vimeo API. I improved that code in FV Player Pro now, please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> Settings -> FV Player screen.
Hopefully then it will start working for single videos.
I’m not sure what do you mean about the scrolling thumbnails on timeline. Vimeo has these, but it’s not available via the API. So I don’t see how you could be getting these with FV Player. We are preparing a service to let you create these thumbnails, but it’s in alpha testing only.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello Martin
Many txs for your reply. Can I still use showcases as it does populate the list immediately and is close enough for what I need.
Regarding the thumbnails scrubbing above the timeline, I will try it again but maybe it was a vimeo direct embed.
Txs again
Ismail
Hello Ismail,
you can just continue using the Vimeo showcases unless the chapters are important.
Please let us know which Vimeo direct embed it was, we would like to check if we could support these timeline thumbnails.
Thanks,
Martin
