FV Wordpress Flowplayer not working

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › FV Wordpress Flowplayer not working

  • Jim 12 years, 10 months ago

    Can’t get FV WordPress Flowplayer to work. Test page is “http://dickeson.net/?page_id=314” ; password (so it doesn’t show up in menu) is “test”.

    First instance has video and splash image uploaded to WordPress gallery; second instance was manually uploaded to “www.dickeson.net/video/” ; third instance is copied code from another WordPress site of mine where FV WordPress Flowplayer is working, http://www.papayaworks.com/video/.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hello Jim,

    we recommend that you check if your theme is compatible. You can start by following the second question on our FAQ page for FV WordPress Flowplayer.

    Alternatively, we will be happy to help you, just use our professional plugin support. It includes fixing the issue directly on your website, letting you know about where the issue was and fixing bugs found in the process, so it’s sort of a contribution to open software.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I think the theme should be compatible – it has the <?php wp_footer(); ?> call in the footer.

    I worked around by uploading to YouTube and using a YouTube player instead.

    We have a similar issue on IE9, all other browsers work. The video simply never loads and a black square shows up in its place w/o controls.

    this is on thesis 1.8.5 wordpress fv flowplayer 1.2.17

    Martin 13 years ago

    Hello clk55,

    we never had issues with IE9, but you might want to try save the page HTML into a file on the server and troubleshoot by removing all the other scripts.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    plugin does not work.
    installed fine
    shows and plays example.flv on setting page.
    when I use the tool it shows pop-up
    get this with insert on page FCKFVWPFlowplayerPlaceholder
    when I use on page [flowplayer src=example.flv]
    player shows. when started get 200 stream not found…etc.
    reloaded several times on other wordpress sites and get the same results.

    try to install your plugin on a wordpress site yourself. Really it does not work properly. It appears all is well until you try to use it. I have tried to use it on several wordpress sites with different themes and NONE work. Not even the example.flv. Get error code 200 on everything.

    Your plugin does not work properly in wordpress 3.4.2

    Gail 13 years ago

    Can anyone help with this?

    Martin 13 years ago

    Hello Gail,

    our plugin works with WordPress 3.4.2. Just double check that the src parameter in the inserted flowplayer shortcode is correct. Perhaps you are using some non-standard path for your uploads and the path is not correct.

    If you need this up and running, you can order our professional plugin support and we will fix it for you on your site (if it’s our plugin) or recommend a solution (if it’s something else – a plugin conflict).

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Any plans on updating the plugin from flowplayer 3.2.3 to the current 5.3.1? There’s been numerous updates to address issues with compatibility problems w/ IE9

    Anonymous 12 years ago

    Hi walt,

    We are already working on the new version of our plugin with flowplayer 5.3.1 since the New Year. We just need to do more testing before release.

    Thanks,

    The player isn’t working in 3.5. When I add my link or upload a video and click insert nothing happens. Can you help me?

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Renee,

    we tested this again and it works for us.

    Are you using any weird popup message code for the video? Are you using our WP Mobile Video Player extension?

    At any rate, we are currently working on Flowplayer 5 integration, so we will add any fixes into it.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Renee 12 years ago

    No I am not using any pop up message and I haven’t installed the mobile video player. Do I need to in order for it to work? Right now once I upload or add the video link nothing happens when I click insert. The popup screen just sites there.

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Renee,

    then this has to be a conflict with some other plugin.

    You can try to check your JavaScript error console, there is probably some error (instructions here).

    If this is a time sensitive fix which you need for your work, I would suggest you use our Pro plugin support. Or perhaps this issue won’t occur in new FV WP Flowplayer (with Flowplayer version 5).

    Thanks,
    Martin
