Hi,
since I don’t have pro version which (if I understood correctly) only supports youtube and vimeo videos, I can not test and need to ask. Does your pro version support pausing of previous video when playing another on frontpage? My website is: hiplister.com and that feature is what I;m missing currently (and some prettier playlist for youtube videos, since current youtube embed of playlist removes every info when second video is played).
Thanks!

Hello Petar,
yes, FV Player currently lets you play one video at a time. The other videos are stopped when you start to play another one.
You can check that for FV Player Pro with YouTube here: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/youtube-embedding
Unfortunately YouTube did add more of its branding to its JavaScript API player recently.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
thank you for detailed answer. I’m very interested to buy PRO player for one domain, but just need to ask you two more questions. Does your player “hijack” all embed video on site or does your features applies only to videos embed with your shortcode? Or, which would be ideal, can I get pro licence for 24 hours so I can be sure it that’s what I need?
Regards
Regardsing Youtube branding, that’s not a problem for me..
Hello Petar,
FV Player has a “Handle WordPress [video] shortcodes” option which also makes it work with [playlist] and the YouTube links. So there is a good chance that it would hijack all the embedded videos on your website.
If you are not sure then just check some of your posts in the “Text” editing mode and see how your videos are inserted.
We do not currently offer a trial license. You can test the above feature even with the free plugin, although in that case the YouTube videos will just keep on using the standard iframes – but you can check in HTML code to see these iframes have id=”fv_ytplayer_…”.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi,
I checked today, it doesn’t “hijack” videos I need most. They stay like this: “<iframe width=”1165″ height=”655″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/S0MzeMfcGxA?wmode=transparent&fs=1″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen=”” id=”embeddedvideoiframe1″></iframe>”
I selected “Use iframe embedding: Beta version! New kind of embedding which supports all the features in embedded player.” but that doesn;t help eather. Any more suggestions?
Thank you for your time anyway!
Hello Petar,
it should actually work for that iframe embed code. Please keep in mind that unless you have FV Player Pro you would still get just a standard YouTube iframe embed, but that special ID attribute starting with “fv_ytplayer…” would indicate it’s handled by FV Player.
That “Use iframe embedding” is for FV Player embed codes actually, it doesn’t change the way it handles some iframe embeds in posts.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi,
I understand that. Videos inside the posts are handled by FV Player (they have “fv_ytplayer…” id when I inspect them), but these on front page are inserted from the custom field created in the theme and they don’t have that “fv_ytplayer…” id. They are specific because video can be played directly on front page. You can check on https://hiplister.com

Hello Petar,
that “Handle WordPress [video] shortcodes” FV Player works on post content (using the_content filter) and the [video] and [playlist] shortcodes.
If you are outputting it in some other way it won’t run automatically. You can use a code like this to hooks in the_content filter:
$your_html = apply_filters( 'the_content', $your_html );
Thanks,
Martin
