Hi there Foliovision,
First of, I just purchased the Pro version and I am loving it.
I do have a future request and that is to make the stickied player draggable by allowing it to be dragged around.That way the user has more creative control over where they want to keep the video whilst scrolling your page.
I also noticed that stickied only works downwards but I think upwards would be great to. But that is just a side request really.
Hope this is something you might want to consider.
Kind regards,
Patrick Dankers

Hi Patrick!
Thanks for the support. Always happy to hear from a satisfied customer.
It is an interesting feature we will consider adding. Firstly we will discuss it with the team as we have a pretty busy schedule and want to introduce quite a few new improvements. We are planning several video actions with ads and play on mouse in and stop on mouse out.
May I ask you – would you mind leaving us a review on FV Player’s plugin page on WP.org, if you haven’t done so already? We would be very grateful!
And let us know if you have any other ideas.
Thanks,
LuciaHi Lucia,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Cool, no rush no rush. You are busy on other things I get that.
But in the long run it will help with satisfying people about placement.Yeah consider the review a thing I will do later today :)
Keep up the awesome job!
Kind regards,
Patrick DankersHello Patrick,
do you know of any video player which has a similar feature?
I wonder what should be the effective drag area of our player. Perhaps moving the mouse over it could show a dragable header bar on top of it.
Also, when would the player get back to its original position? Would it stay in the custom floating position until you close it with the “X” icon in top right corner?
Thanks,
MartinHi Martin,
Thanks for following this up.
Video players specific no. But it would be a really awesome thing to be able to do. People on our end have gone … cool new player love the sticky option but would love a draggable option even more.
So that is why I reached out.
But I would go with something simple like; https://jsfiddle.net/tovic/Xcb8d/ the cursor there makes it moveable in all directions and that in general enough.
What would be cool is if it could be a control bar option which you can toggle on / off. That way you can maintain the sticky aspect and enable drag and drop in a nice way :)
And just use an icon like; https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/interface-4/96/Cursor-Move-512.png
As for the closing; Three scenarios;
1] video end; the video should then close itself (I noticed that that is not default behavior at this time (correct me if I am wrong)
I do get it when you run ads and so on but if you onyly have a video it should close the player on end in my opinion.
2] If the user clicks the close button. The basic close so to speak.
3] the suggested draggable icon in the controlbarIf I can help you in any other way feel free to let me know.
Kind regards,
PatrickYou asked me for something that had the draggable video player as a feature. I today noticed that Whatsapp’s Picture in Picture preview video player offers that :)
Hi guys,
I thought I would check in on this request. Sadly both my comments are still awaiting moderation nor have I heard anything back.
Is this something you will look into in the future?
Kind regards,
PatrickHello Patrick,
sorry about that, I wanted to bring this to Alec’s attention, but never got to it. We have built something similar for the video transcript box: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/interactive-transcript With the sticky player it might be more tricky.
Thanks,
Martin
