Would be super cool if the embed function for playlists could display a second option: embed the entire playlist or the current video. Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion Tio. Normally I’m keener to see a single video embedded but I can imagine a situation (a music video playlist) where I’d really want to share a whole playlist.
Cheers, Alec
At the moment you can only embed playlists as far as I am aware. Right? I am saying maybe you can also embed single videos from a playlist.
Hello Tio,
since there is only a single Embed link, we would have to show a drop down menu with the two options – Embed full playlist or Embed current video.
Thanks,
Martin
Of two links (buttons) for that matter. I think it would be very useful!
Great to see you hear Tio!
Martin, it would make more sense to me that if a playlist can be embedded that when one embeds a video from a playlist one gets the full playlist starting from that video.
Tio, I’m a bit worried about adding too many options. It becomes very programmery. Programmers love options but options confuse and discourage normal users. It’s like the supermarket when there are fifty five different kinds of yoghurt or jam. One can get tired of looking and just buy nothing.
Hi Tio,
Definitely like the idea that embedded video playlist share would start the video which was shared.
Martin, we should change this right away.
Awesome! I am impressed by your work guys and we consider purchasing the full version. We make documentaries and we would love more features for the video player. Cheers!
Hi guys. Any update on this?
Hello Tio,
There’s really a lot of things on our plate at the moment but adding more share options is still on our lists. I will ask our development team about it.
If you want to find more info about new features, please check our weblog.
Thanks,
Juraj
I see thanks. For the moment there is no way to embed a video from a playlist unless you embed the entire playlist. Would be fantastic to allow for such an option. We produce many videos and use your plugin to post them on our website – we are volunteers and make no money out of that. People emailed us a few times asking how they can embed the videos we post on their own websites, but since most of our videos are posted in playlists-more, they can’t embed individual videos so we have no solution for them right now. We would love to see a solution for this.
Hello Tio,
this got stuck in our pipeline. I was just supposed to test it and release.
So now I put up the new test version of our plugin here and it works: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/playlist-styles
I pick any playlist, play any video and when I copy the embed link I get something like:
<iframe src="https://foliovision.com/player/demos/playlist-styles/fvp-5#fvp_39" allowfullscreen width="790" height="1271" frameborder="0" style="max-width:100%"></iframe>
Then if I embed that somewhere else, it show that full playlist, but goes to the item I selected right away.
If it works, then you can reinstall FV Player from this link to be able to test this improvement on your website: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/11213823-fix-player-embed-settings.zip To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks a lot that’s awesome. But for our website it does not work. See here https://www.tromsite.com/videos/
The version you sent above is Version 7.4.6.727 which is older than the current wordpress version 7.4.9.727 – maybe you sent the wrong plugin version? Cheers!
Hello Tio,
you are right, here is the correct link: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/11248518-embed-item-position-module-rework.zip
Sorry about that.
Thanks,
Martin
I see thanks. This one seems to be the right one. However it seems like is not working. The embed code changes indeed, mentioning the ID of the video too, but it is always the id of the first video in the playlist. See this https://www.tromsite.com/videos/
Hello Tio,
it seems FV Player is not active on that page, please let us know what exact embed code you are getting.
Thanks,
Martin
Ah check now please https://www.tromsite.com/videos/ – for some strange reasons wordpress automatically deactivates the FV plugin it says files were not found on the server. it is weird because it works to activate it again….
Hello Tio,
it seem you updated FV Player, but you will have to stick to https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/11248518-embed-item-position-module-rework.zip version to be able to test that out.
None of the videos on https://www.tromsite.com/videos/ play for me. They seem to load for too long.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi. Sorry. What happened is that our plugins update automatically. I fixed it you can check it now please. The videos load fine for me – they stream from archive.org.
Hello Tio,
I wouldn’t recommend hosting your videos on archive.org. It’s not a video streaming service. These videos never load for me, perhaps they don’t load for a lot of people and I imagine it must be slow too.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin, for me and everyone else I tried with, it works very well. Archive.org is a video streaming platform on top of many of their great services that they provide for free. My connection here is 1-2MB/s, quite slow, and I can still load the videos. In any case here’s a screenrecording to show you that for one the videos load and second what’s the error https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o7Tbu8ZOhQ&feature=youtu.be
Hello Tio,
I can see it gives you the same video ID in that iframe embed code. We will do some more tests on our end.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks! Can’t wait to have it working. Many thanks!
Hello Tio,
please reinstall from https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/11248518-embed-item-position-module-rework.zip and the issue will be fixed.
Thanks,
Martin
Super great. It works! Thank you so much! Can I suggest to stop the videos from auto-playing on embed? Right now if the video is embed it autoplays. Thank you again!
Hello Tio,
we disabled that autoplay function (that #fvp part of URL is handled by the FV Player Video Link feature which works that way) please reinstall from https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/11248518-embed-item-position-module-rework.zip again and the issue will be fixed.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi. That’s great thanks. It works now. The only thing is that it displays the thumbnail image for the first video in the playlist. Is there a way to change that? if not is not a huge issue but I am just reporting here ;) – Cheers!
Hello Tio,
this has been fixed, please reinstall from https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/11248518-embed-item-position-module-rework.zip again and the issue will be fixed.
Thanks,
Martin
Awesome. Works! So great. Thank you again. Looks great now!
Hello Tio,
we will include this improvement in the next release.
Thanks,
Martin
