Video ads in lightboxed videos

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Requests and Feedback › Video ads in lightboxed videos

  • Ralev.com EOOD 8 years, 7 months ago

    Hello there,

    Do you have an estimate on having videos ads in lightboxed videos working? I read that recently it had been explicitly disabled (https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/pre-roll-broke-my-video) which is a shame since that’s what our project requires and why we chose FVPlayer in the first place.

    Thanks,
    Zlatev

    Hello Zlatev,

    we are looking into it, at this point I’m not sure what was exactly the issue.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    That’s fine. Please let me know about expected time frame.

    Hello Zlatev,

    could you please upgrade FV Player Pro (you should be seeing version 0.7.32 as an available update) and also re-install FV Player from the following ZIP file? https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/fix-video-ads-lightbox.zip

    You need to just remove the existing version of FV Player, no settings or videos will be lost an then install it from that ZIP file.

    With that version the video ads should start working in lightbox automatically. Could you please let us know if it works for you?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thanks, I will be testing it very soon and report back.

    I am sorry to say we are unable to get video ads working in a lightbox using that fix-video-ads-lightbox.zip version. We only tested a youtube video ad, if that is relevant. What we tried is adding a video into a post’s content, also adding a widget (which is ultimately what we need), a single video and a playlist – same outcome which is main video plays right off without a pre-roll.

    Hello,

    please make sure you are using latest FV Player and FV Player Pro and then let us know if it helped or not.

    Thanks,

    OK, the pro plugin needed to be updated also. It’s working now, thanks.

    One more thing – can you please make the “This ad will end in n seconds | Skip ad” string translatable using WP’s built-in functions like __(), _e(), etc. I see it’s hardcoded in a JS file. You should be able to easily do that using the wp_localize_script() function. Codex has an example of usage. You should probably include it into the free plugin since the pro one doesn’t seem to load a textdomain.

    That would be great, thanks.

    Hello,

    thank you for reminding us of this issue. We will add the translations for FV Player Pro.

    Thanks,
    Martin
