Control bar always visible

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Control bar always visible

  • Dan Loman 4 years, 2 months ago

    Hi!
    Great player. All works well.
    I just have an issue with the control/seek bar.
    I configured in the settings that the bar dissapears once the mouse cursxor does not hover the video and especially for moibile users since they can not read the (pre-burned) subtitles in the video´s I place.

    So I disabled “Control Bar Fullscreen” as well as I disabled “Controlbar always visible”.

    In the example where I can change the skin it works great. The control bar dissapears when I hit play but in my posts the controlbar is still there which makes it impossible for mobile users to see the whole screen and thus the subtitles are not visible.

    How to fix this?

    Hi Dan,

    Thank you for reaching out to us!

    I was able to reproduce your issue. Does it occur also when you are logged in?

    Also, could you try switching to a default WordPress template and check if the issue persists? Simply, to rule out whether there is some sort of conflict between the Flowplayer CSS and your theme.

    If this wouldn’t solve the issue, our development team would take a closer look.

    Thanks,
    Chiara

    Hi!
    For some reason, I do not know why, it is solved.
    The player is exactly as I want it. Perfect!

    One other question: Is it possible to setup the player so that WordPress will take over a screenshot automatically from the video as a thumbnail?

    Hi Dan,

    I’m glad to know your issue was solved.

    Currently, the FV Player doesn’t offer a function that would take a particular screenshot from a video and set it as the splash image automatically, unless the video is hosted on Vimeo or YouTube.

    However, we developed the Thumbnail Generator tool which is directly in your FV Player shortcode editor and which lets you choose the ideal screenshot from the video and set it as its splash image: https://foliovision.com/2019/07/new-video-thumbnail-generator.

    Thanks,
    Chiara

    Are there,. or will there come, more share options then just Facebook and Twitter?

    Thanks for the useful link to the thumb-generator.

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for asking!

    As far as social media is concerned, currently, the options are limited to Facebook and Twitter: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/managing-sharing-buttons.

    You can also share the video through e-mail: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/customing-email-sharing or use the iFrame embedding which lets you paste the video anywhere you choose: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/using-iframe-embedding.

    Do you have in mind any particular social media platform to which you’d like videos to share directly through the FV Player?

    Thanks,
    Chiara
