  • Richard Knights 7 years, 4 months ago

    Currently the pay per view system allows a purchased PPV to be played on 3 devices, I want to be able to control this number of devices that can play a PPV can this be done, other via website backend or some additional code ?.

    You have addded the option to change the remaining time to view which is gret but the email doesn’t pick up this change it still defaults to 48 hrs, can this be ammended ?

    Hello Richard,

    Thank you for this feedback! I’d like to ask if you would like to increase or decrease the limit of devices that can watch the video?

    Thanks,
    Eduard

    Generally i want to decrease the amount of plays, the reason for this is because of the type of work we do, our audience is limited and we dont want to allow to many extra plays, but their also may be times when we want to increase the amount of plays on certain videos

    Hello Richard,

    we could provide a global configuration preference for this, so you could set it down to 2 browsers.

    However it’s not the number of plays, it’s just the number of browsers that can get to the video in the set Rental duration period – so that user can’t just send his login to somebody else to watch the video. But we do allow these extra devices in case he wants to watch it on his mobile or in case he has to switch browsers to be able to play.

    We could track the number of plays, but it might not work so well for old mobile phones and it all becomes quite tricky. I would have to discuss that in our team, I see it might be a nice improvement if done properly. But I’m not sure if Vimeo On Demand works that way for example.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi

    yes i understand that you mean browsers that can view, but this also means number of potential people that can view, initially we would like to be able to set this to 1, 2 or 3. on a per video basis.
    Yes later it would be great to actually track plays. but i understand this will be a lot harder.
    so if we can limit the amount of browsers that can play a single video to either 1, 2 or 3 on a per video basis this would certainly be a great improvement

    Hello Richard,

    we just released FV Player Pay Per View 0.5 which brings following improvements:

    * Fixing video rental duration in email text to respect the settings
    * dding option for video rental button text and other messages

    If you don’t see the update available, please grab the new version from https://foliovision.com/my-licenses as we found there was a bug in the licensing code.

    We are also discussing the possible improvements of the IP restrictions in email support thread.

    Thanks,
    Martin
