FV FlowPlayer works great for me when I list a single video source. However, if I try to list multiple video sources things get really screwy. Could I get some assistance with the proper shortcode to use? Our videos are available two ways: streamed from a Wowza server or direct played from Amazon S3. That gives us about four different formats so most clients should be covered. I’ve read all the documentation and I just can’t seem to get it right. Most of the time I end up with it playing on IOS, but failing in Flash or the reverse. I can’t seem to get both working at the same time.
Given the following stream URLs, what would be the proper WordPress shortcode I should use?
RTMP – rtmp://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4
HLS – http://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4/playlist.m3u8
RTSP – rtsp://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4
Amazon S3 – http://example-video-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4
Spash Image – http://example-image-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats.pngSorry for such a simple question, but I just can’t seem to sort it out.
Thanks,

Hello Donald,
you are probably only having issues because you are setting the RTMP server URL incorrectly.
I got it working without any problems like this:
[fvplayer src='http://example-video-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4' src1='http://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4/playlist.m3u8' rtmp="rtmp://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/" rtmp_path="sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4"]
So our of the full RTMP path of rtmp://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4 the server connection URL is rtmp://cdn.example.com/dpezet-vod/play/ and sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4 is the file name.
I added more examples into step 3 of our “using RTMP” documentation: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/rtmp-streams
Since RTMP is a proprietary protocol, there appears to be no PHP library available to check if the RTMP is ok or not. That’s why it’s not supported by our video checker.
Please let us know if there is anything else.
Thanks,
Martin
That is perfect! Thank you very much for your assistance.
Martin,
I just noticed one issue. It looks like the player is no longer responsive on my site. I’m not sure at which point that happened, but when using the following shortcode the player is displayed with a fixed width:
[fvplayer src='http://itprotv-video-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4' src1='http://cdn-vod.itpro.tv/dpezet-vod/play/sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4/playlist.m3u8' rtmp="rtmp://cdn.itpro.tv/dpezet-vod/play/" rtmp_path="sestore1/dpezet/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats-high.mp4" splash='http://itprotv-image-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/iins/001-Common-Security-Threats.png']
It could be a problem with my page/theme, but I haven’t changed anything there and I remember the player being responsive originally. Do you have any suggestions as to what might be affecting it? You can see it on my test page here:

Thanks again for all of your help,

Hello Donald,
as you are our licensed user, we had a quick look and I can see your article container is not using the proper CSS width for the narrower widths, so the problem is not in our plugin.
If you order our pro support we would be happy to fix the issue for you. If you have a CSS designer working for you on your theme, he should be able to figure out the issue as well.
Thanks,
Martin
Martin,
Thank you for looking in to that. We will be changing themes in about two weeks, so I’ll hold off and see if that takes care of it.
Thanks again,
Don Pezet
