Hello Tailoong,
in FV Player double tapping the video on the left or right side seeks forward or rewinds the video by 10 seconds when using mobile. So I guess that’s what you mean.
Please let us know what FV Player Pro features are you using on that video as I was not able to reproduce the issue – this double-tap seeking works for me with FV Player Pro too.
You can send a link to your test page too,
Thanks,
Martin
Hello Tailoong,
please let us know what FV Player Pro features are you using on that video as I was still not able to reproduce the issue – this double-tap seeking works for me with FV Player Pro too. I was also using the DRM text to see if that could be causing the issue, but it worked.
You can send a link to your test page too,
Thanks,
Martin
hello martin.
After full screen on the mobile device, touch may be prohibited in the upper part of the control bar. The cancel full screen button in the upper right corner and the playback and pause, speed steps. None of them can be used.

Hello Tailoong,
I found the player was covered by the ad element even if the ad was already closed. The bug occurred as we were trying to make some space for the AB loop in fullscreen.
Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.
That will give you the FV Player Pro plugin with the fix.
If you are using any CDN or CSS optimization plugin please purge these as well.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello!
My new website has FV Player Pro installed, but it only works with FV Player 8. On my smart TV’s browser, FV Player 8 doesn’t display the control bar; the play and pause buttons are invisible. Why does the Pro version have to use FV Player 8? How can I make it work with previous versions of FV Player?
Please reply as soon as possible, thank you!

Hello Tailoong,
Do you mean that it works on your other website with FV Player 7?
Please let us know what smart TV you are using.
We did some accessibility improvements to FV Player 8 in 2025 which are already part of the release version: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/how-to/setting-focus-to-the-video-when-using-keyboard-only

Hello! thank you for your reply
I’m using FV Player 7 with Pro on another website, and it’s very stable.
The smart TV has a browser installed, and the app is named: browseHere
Browser URL:https://browsehere.net/en/When using the keyboard to fast forward and rewind with FV Player 8 on my computer, a white line appears around the edges of the player, which looks unsightly. How can I remove it?
Thank you!

Hello Tailoong,
I tried to use BrowseHere, although not on a smart TV but just Android Mobile. I opened https://foliovision.com and I was able to play our homepage video without issues.
I tried with your .net website where you are using FV Player. It also worked fine. So I guess the issue can only be reproduced on the actual smart TV.
So I tried with Android Studio with smart TV emulation right on my computer. With FV Player I could access all the controls using the pointer which I was controlling with arrow keys. In real world it would likely be controlled by pointing the remote in different directions.
I got the same experience on YouTube.com website and also on your .net website.
Please let us know about your real smart TV experience.
The line around the edges of the player is caused by the
:focusstyling from your theme. It aids the website accessibility when using keyboard to control the website by highlighting the selected website element.You can get rid of it using the following CSS:
.freedomplayer:focus{ outline: 0; }I’ll check if we could provide some better default setting for it.
Thanks,
Martin
