Embed: player not found

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Embed: player not found

  • issman 9 years, 7 months ago

    Hi,

    If I try to embed a video on an external website I only get a link “watch video”.
    With iFrame code, I get “Player not found” and the link to the video page.

    How can I insert the player?

    Thank you !

    Thank you :)

    Hello Issman,

    I see that you are using some special theme which lets you insert the video into a special field rather than the post content. Your goal is to have to video show up above the post content.

    However then we are not able to find the video when doing the parsing for the iframe video embed code in FV Player.

    I wonder if we could fix this by parsing the full page HTML code. Perhaps it would be a more fail-safe way of doing this, although a bit slower.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thank you for your answer.

    How can I do that?

    Martin 10 years ago

    Hello Issman,

    since you have broungh two licenses we will try to improve this now.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    issman 10 years ago

    Thx

    I tried to insert a video into the post content with the shortcode but the result is the same for the embed function…

    Martin 10 years ago

    Hello Issman,

    could you please send over a URL to some page where the shortcode is in post content? It’s a very important troubleshooting step.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Issman,

    are you sure “Use iframe embedding” in Settings -> FV Player -> Integrations/Compatibility is enabled and that “Disable Embed Button” in Settings -> FV Player -> Sidewide Flowplayer Defaults is not enabled?

    What exact [fvplayer] shortcode are you using?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    issman 10 years ago

    “Use iframe embedding” is enabled now

    “Disable Embed Button” is not enabled

    the shortcode is :
    [fvplayer src=videolink.mp4"]

    Martin 10 years ago

    Hello issman,

    I see it works now. Can you send some page where the video is in the header section?

    However the MP4 file has UTF8 characters in it and it won’t play when using the Flash engine. Make sure you use our video checker to receive automated warnings like this about your videos: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/faq#check-properties-checker-report-playing

    Thanks,
    Martin

    issman 10 years ago

    Yes it works.

    Here is a page with the video in the header section :
    http://www.leedstime.com/quand-le-hip-hop-devient-art-2/

    issman 10 years ago

    I do not see my last message so I dont know if it has been sent.
    So here is a link with a video in the header section.
    Do you need temp access to my wordpress admin?

    Thank you

    Hello issman,

    sorry about not getting back to you. We were stuck ok this task, but now I think we found a solution for how it could work.

    We will update this thread once we have a test version of the improved iframe embedding ready.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello issman,

    could you please install FV Player from this zip file to your site? https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/task-5288924-imroved-iframe.zip Just deactivate the FV Player plugin and delete it, then install from the ZIP file.

    Let’s see if the iframe for these videos will start working for you.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    issman 10 years ago

    Hello,

    Works perfectly! Thank you!

    It is great to have such a good support :)

    Martin 10 years ago

    Hello issman,

    FV Player Pro 6.0.5.4 was released and it includes the iframe embedding fix which we did based on your report. Please let us know if you notice any issues.

    Thanks,

    Hello Martin,

    I have a similar problem. After working initially, the iFrame embed now leads to an error message:
    Player not found, see the full article.

    Embed and iFrame embedding are set to “On”. Display embed button is set to “Off”.

    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

    Hello Wolfgang,

    could you please post a link to your site where we can see the issue?

    Do it work when you use the default WordPress theme?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    Sorry about the delay in getting back. I must have missed the e-mail advising me of a response to my post.

    I am using a Theme developed by the Word Press team. Is that a default Theme? I tried searching for default Theme(s), but I could not find any.

    Here is a link to one of the pages on which this problem occurs:
    http://www.deluxevoyages.com/html/silversea_cruises_videos.html

    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

    Hello Wolfgang,

    I checked http://deluxevoyages.com/blog/videos-3/silversea-cruises-videos/ and it uses Twenty Ten which is what I called the default WP template. It’s a slightly older one though.

    I see that the player is not found when using the iframe code.

    This could be caused by some plugin as well. What other plugins are you using?

    If you would like us to fix your issue right on your website quickly, you can order our Pro support: http://foliovision.com/pro-support

    Hi Martin,

    In addition to FV Player, I am using the following plug-ins:
    Akismet
    BackWPup
    fbLikeButton
    Google Analytics Tracking Code Embeder
    GTranslate
    Jetpack by WordPress.com
    SABRE
    TIEMediahelper
    WP Super Cache

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Wolfgang,

    What modules are you using in JetPack?

    Thank you,
    Eduard

    Wolfgang 9 years ago

    Hi Eduard,

    I am probably too stupid, but I could not find out which modules I use in JetPack. So, I disabled JetPack and I am still experiencing the same problem.

    Thanks,

    Wolfgang

    Hi Wolfgang,

    That’s ok. Looks like it doesn’t have anything to do with plugins.
    And what about the PHP?

    Thanks,
    Eduard

    Wolfgang 9 years ago

    Hi Eduard,

    Default PHP version is 5
    PHP 5 Handler is suphp
    Apache suEXEC in ON
    Apache RUID2 is OFF

    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

    Hello Wolfgang,

    if you know PHP you can look at the $aPlayers variable in flowplayer:: template_embed(): https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/models/flowplayer.php#L1312

    Does it find the player at all?

    Only other thing that comes to mind it trying to disable plugins one by one until this works, then we can check again what conflict with that plugin could be the cause for this.

    Thanks,
    Martin
