RSS implementation

    Hi. Would be fantastic if you could provide an RSS for playlists since now you can create a link for specific videos in a playlist, would be fantastic to have an RSS. We post many videos for free using this plugin and we would love to see that implemented. ;)

    Hello Tio,

    FV Player doesn’t work in RSS feeds as the RSS feed format doesn’t support JavaScript. So for each player we only show a splash image and a “Click to watch the video” text below it.

    So I’m not sure what exactly you mean by providing RSS for playlists. Do you mean that each playlist item thumbnail should be displayed and open that exact video when clicked? That sounds like a good idea, but can align these images like playlist items in RSS? I’m not sure about that since it doesn’t support CSS. But perhaps inline CSS would work.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi. I didn’t get a notification about your reply so I apologize for getting back to this quite late. We post many videos using the FV Player and we would love if you can create an RSS for each playlist so that users can subscribe and get notifications whenever we post a new video. You know what I mean?

    Hello Tio,

    we haven’t had a request like this before. Please send over some specs for the RSS feed format and we could give you an estimate for coding this feature to suit your needs. Would that be the same as the YouTube format? https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCqP1gIWh2SM3lRXf373gMNQ

    If you know how to write WordPress plugins, then have a look at our FV Player Database API here: https://foliovision.com/player/advanced/player-database#php As you can see building this as a one-of plugin to suit single website wouldn’t be so hard.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Yes exactly, something similar to what you have shown in the youtube example. Is it possible to implement this for FV Player?

    Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable to write a plugin for the job. I may ask some friends. You do not plan to implement this into FV Player any time soon, isn’t it? I just thought it would be a fantastic add to be able to subscribe to FV Player playlists via RSS.

    So you wont plan to add this feature :) ?

    Hello Tio,

    I have it in my list of things to check with Alec. We didn’t get to it last week.

    Please post some details about what software you use to subscribe to these YouTube playlists if you have a minute. I only noticed that link https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCqP1gIWh2SM3lRXf373gMNQ in the header of the page HTML and I’m not sure how I’m supposed to subscribe to it.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    One case example is to use any RSS Reader so you get updates from that Youtube channel https://feeds.feedburner.com/youtube/BtqJm. This is really cool since you can keep an eye on a Youtube channel without having a google account or visiting youtube to check for that.

    For our case, we have this “curated” system of news, videos, and such https://www.tromsite.com/tools/news/ + https://www.tromsite.com/tools/videos and would be fantastic to be able to grab the RSS of our FV Player and display in the newsfeed automatically.

    Again, this is mostly for people who want to stay up to date with the videos we post, and since we use FV player, then if FV player had an inbuilt RSS, then anyone from any platform out there, can keep an eye on out submissions, since RSS is a very well known protocol and works with so many applications.

    Cheers!
