Cannot Insert Player in WordPress

Hi Tony,

Could you provide us a link to your site where the problems occur, so we could take a look?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

The video runs fine on desktop, and both Android and iOS. The link is protected from downloading and cannot be played separately, so it seems you have fixed it.

As for the embedding, are you using the latest version of FV Player (6.0.5.8)? And does the jquery problem still occur?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

It’s possible that one of your plugins strips the version information. If you don’t have a problem with FV Player showing the notice about broken JavaScript, you don’t have to worry much about this message. Actually, we will probably disable it in the plugin code for the next release as this check is not very usefull these days.

However, one of your plugins could be actually interfering somehow with the shortcode editor. Could you provide a list of plugins you are currently using also with the exact version of your browser?

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

Thank you for the list. I’ve compared it with the list of plugins that are incompatible with FV Player, but none of those you are using was reported to cause any trouble. I’m sorry, but there isn’t much I can do to help you at this point. If you owned our Pro licence, we could go deeper, but we offer only limited support to the users of the free version.

If you want, you could purchase a Pro support Incident (one time payment -$70). Then you would only have to set up a temporary login for us and we would fix the problem on your site.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

May I ask what player are you using now? Could you provide a sample code of the video? Maybe we could figure out an easy way to convert the existing video codes to FV Player shortcodes.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

As Alec said, the Search Regex plugin could easily modify the existing shortcodes on your site, so you wouldn’t have to edit every single one.

As for your second question, you can add the shadow via CSS. You can do so by adding a code like this into your theme style sheet:

.flowplayer .fp-player {
 position:absolute;
 top:0;
 left:0;
 width:100%;
 height:100%;
 -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 35px 10px -25px #aaaaaa !important; 
 -moz-box-shadow: 0px 35px 10px -25px #aaaaaa !important;
 box-shadow: 0px 35px 10px -25px #aaaaaa !important;  
 }

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Tony,

I’m glad to hear that! As for the Search Regex, it will basically search for a certain text and replace it with a new text. It was made mainly for migrations and renaming directories, but will work fine in this case as well. You could just replace the [dzs_video source=” part of all your existing shortcodes with [fvplayer src=” (it would look like this), and then delete the redundant settings in the shortcodes in a similar way. What you would get would be this: [fvplayer src="http://catchwrestle.com/newsletter/theimportanceofangles.mp4"].

Thanks,
Eduard
