    Hello Kingkongdu,

    sorry about the delay here.

    Please follow the step number 4. from installation instructions here: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/installation

    That will check your template and figure out any conflicts.

    Please let us know what results you get, then we can help.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I followed the steps as given in the link.
    But still i don’t get the controls after the page loads. I have to right click and say show controls.
    Plus for big videos i keep getting the error “Error Parsing JSON”.
    Big as in more than 50 MB. I have tried with 80MB and 350MbB video sizes and i get the same parse error. For smaller video sizes it plays the video.

    Server http://www.abbviechina.com appears to serve correct mime type video/mp4 for MP4 and M4V videos.
    but,check template, nothing return;

    Hello Kingkongdu and Peter,

    if the Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> “Check template” doesn’t return any useful information to you, there may be some PHP error (start by making sure you have WP_DEBUG disabled in your wp-config.php, then look into any PHP error logs – we use standard WordPress functions to overcome compatibility issues like this).

    It should show a spinning progress indicator and then the result of the check – green message with text like:

    FV Flowplayer script found: ...
    jQuery library 1.7.1+ found: ...

    Otherwise please look directly at HTML of the page where you have your videos and look for both “fv-wordpress-flowplayer/flowplayer/flowplayer.min.js” and “wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js”. Both should be present and jQuery should be above Flowplayer in the code. “Check template” function only checks the homepage which might use a different template.

    Also, if you could tell us what templates are you using, it would be useful. Or are you using any minify plugins? Could you please check if your template loads older version of Flowplayer library? That is the case of OptimizePress as noted in our FAQ, where we also posted a workaround.

    You can also buy our FV Flowplayer license or buy pro support and then we can have a look at your problem directly on your site.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I get proper output after i check template and check video.
    Also the html source shows jquery 1.8.3 and flowplayer.min.js?ver=2.1.26 . Still i have to right click and say show controls.
    I am using the basic Twenty Twelve theme in wordpress 3.5.1

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Peter,

    perhaps you use some other plugin which also adds Flowplayer JavaScript into the page.

    You should check your HTML source of the page where the video is and see if you can find multiple occurrences of flowplayer.min.js or flowplayer.js.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Peter Barretto 12 years ago

    Hi Martin,

    There is only one flowplayer.js file in the source. Right now i am using fv-wordpress-flowplayer 2.1.26 I will upgrade to 2.1.27 and check if the player works.
    When i click on the show controls the player is smaller than the black div. It shows 30px extra black div below the player contols. The player doesnt take the full black space.

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Peter,

    I think that the player which shows for you is not FV Flowplayer, but the browser’s integrated HTML5 player. You can tell so by comparing it to the screenshot of FV Flowplayer here. I think that you control bar will be different than what he have here: http://s.wordpress.org/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/screenshot-1.png?r=749931

    Next step would be to check your JavaScript error console and check if something is not breaking JavaScript on your site. Here’s how to open the console: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/8525/how-to-open-the-javascript-console-in-different-browsers

    Before doing so, please upgrade to 2.1.29 – latest version.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Peter Barretto 12 years ago

    I upgraded to the latest 2.1.30 version but i still get the default html5 player and not the flowplayer shown in the above link. There are no javascript errors on the page, i have checked in firebug.
    Now i have starting getting the error:
    “Warning: Division by zero in C:xampplitehtdocswordpress-heygoatvwp-contentpluginsfv-wordpress-flowplayermodelsflowplayer-frontend.php on line 363”

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Peter,

    could you please check if:

    1. you have any zero width or height attributes in the shortcode, like:

    [flowplayer src="...." width="640" height="0"]

    2. check the width and height in Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Default video size.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Peter Barretto 12 years ago

    Hi Martin,

    The code is proper and no zero is there
    [flowplayer src="...." width="640" height="480" splash="Splash.jpg"]

    and i had put the default as 640 and 480.

    After i removed the width and height from the post shortcode the error went.

    But still i get the default browser player and not the flowplayer player on the webpage

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Peter,

    is this also happening with the default template and no other plugins installed?

    Does the video on our homepage play for you? http://foliovision.com

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Peter,

    is this also happening with the default template and no other plugins installed?

    Does the video on the plugin settings screen play for you?

    Does the video on our homepage play for you? http://foliovision.com

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Peter Barretto 12 years ago

    Hi Martin,

    Yes i am using the default theme and no plugin except flowplayer plugin activated.
    Both the videos on the plugin setting page and homepage play without issues.

    Martin 12 years ago

    Hello Peter,

    this is very strange.

    Could you please open one of the pages with the broken video player, open the source code in the web browser, copy and paste it into a text document and send it to us in the email as an attachment? Just use the address from which you get these notifications.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Peter,

    thank you for the HTML which you sent to us.

    In the HTML, I can see there is a <code> tag around the player and that is messing up the player JavaScript initialization routine.

    Please edit your post and check if you don’t see any <code> tag around the shortcode. Removing this tag will solve the issue.

    We will see if we can remove such tag when parsing the shortcode.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Peter Barretto 12 years ago

    Hi Martin,

    The code tag was indeed the problem. After i removed the code tag it showed the flowplayer properly and plays the videos fine.

    Thanks a lot for troubleshooting this problem.
