The plugin works good on my site playing my m3u8 video. I also have Android & iOS mobile app. Do I need to create my own JSON for this player so it can send the video URL to my app? Does this plugin support JSON?
My video format is m3u8. Converted with AWS MediaConvert, stored in AWS S3, and distribute with AWS Cloudfront. It has no encryption.
Please advice. Thank you.

Hello Hilman,
are you using the core WordPress REST API? We haven’t worked with that yet, only with the older JSON API which was a plugin.
Are you using any plugin which adds some custom information into REST API?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
Yes, my site is using core WordPress REST API that handling the communication between the web to my apps via JSON.I am not a programmer and I am not clear with your question about ‘custom information into REST API’. My site is Arkademi.com and it is working with API via some core plugins to communicate with my apps.
I have consulted to my developer and he said he will make some modifications to your plugin so it can send video URL to my app. Once it’s succeeded, I will let you know and purchase the pro player.
I wish you can give me advice about this modification.
Thanks.
Hello Hilman,
are you using the latest FV Player shortcodes like [fvplayer id="1234"] or are you using the old [fvplayer src="..."] ones?
Seems like it’s time to publish some documentation about how to work with the FV Player database – that’s the shortcode with id attribute. For each post you can get the according FV Player database entry and populate some fields in that JSON response with its video data.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
I am using [fvplayer src="..."] to access my m3u8 file on Cloudfront.
Refer: https://staging-arkademi.kinsta.cloud/fvplayer/I have no idea to work with [fvplayer id="1234"]. But if you think It can help me to achieve my goal, please let me know.
Thanks.
Hello Hilman,
if you are using [fvplayer] shortcodes with src=”” then your developer can just parse the post content (or write a custom handler for [fvplayer] shortcodes which would replace the FV Player handler when using REST API) and include it in the JSON response. You can check the WordPress.org documentation for adding additional data into the REST API here: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/modifying-responses/
If you start using the FV Player database (any video which is inserted with the red FV Player button is stored in database) then it will be a bit more complex. But perhaps we could even support this in core FV Player, but we would have to discuss that.
Thanks,
Martin
