Hi Martin,
in new version 7.2.4.727 I can’t turn off audio. I can lower it to a minimum but I do not turn it off completely.
This is a bug or normal behavior?
thanks. David

Hi David,
Thanks for your report. We are having a look at it now.

Hello David,
here are some of my observations:
The volume bar consists of 7 little rectangles. You can click each one and it will give you that volume. So obviously there is no way to click “no” little rectangle, so you really can’t completely mute the video. You can only do so by clicking the volume bar and dragging it to the left outside of its boundaries carefully.
It’s a core Flowplayer issue actually: https://demos.flowplayer.com/basics/minimal.html
I wonder how can we fix this without having to put up a mute button. Seems like both YouTube and Vimeo allow you to click to the left of the volume bar and that mutes the video for real. On YouTube you have a mute button as well.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Lucia, Hi Martin,
imho, turn off audio icon, like youtube and older flowplayer version, is better for ux. Vimeo it’s less sensitive than flowplayer. With vimeo if I drag mouse from left to right or viceversa very fast, audio rises or lower with no problem (even outside the bar, for example on the video).
In flowplayer if mouse exit from the bar, it doesn’t control volume anymore.
if we could make it as vimeo, it would be a good step. What do you think?
Hello David,
you are right about the fast dragging of the volume control. Its works much better on Vimeo or on YouTube. We have to fix that.
Thanks,
Martin
Great Martin.
thank you too.

Hello David,
the fix for this will be part of FV Player 7.2.5.727 which should be out today. It was a bug in core Flowplayer, so we submitted the bugfix to them as well.
Thanks,
Martin
