Problem with entering a commercial key

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Problem with entering a commercial key

  • Allerbe60 14 years, 3 months ago

    Entering a Commercial Key does not work, because Flowplayer has their keys hardcoded to a specific version of their software (i.e. the latest version).

    I exchanged the 3.1.5 commercial player with the current (3.2.5) player and changed the path reference in models/flowplayer.php line 110 to reflect the change :

    define(‘PLAYER’, RELATIVE_PATH.’/flowplayer/commercial/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.5.swf’);

    Flowplayer will now play just fine on the WordPress settings page, without branding (which is good), but on all WordPress pages that worked with the free version there’s now is a black hole instead of the player (which is bad). I’ve looked for other references that would need changing, but no luck so far.

    Any help would be appreciated! (for the time being, I’ve reverted to the free player).

    Hi Allerbe,

    we just checked the 3.2.5 version, seems to be working ok.

    When you uploaded the new flowplayer file, did you renamed it to flowplayer.commercial-3.2.5.swf?
    The name of the file should be the same as the one you filled on the line 110.

    It also seems that Flowplayer upgraded also the flowplayer.controls file, so be sure you upload this file as well – don’t change it’s name.

    Thanks for your experience with entering the keys! We’ll prepare a guide on how to add the Flowplayer files.

    Flowplayer gave me a 3.1.5 key, which worked, but I’m running 3.2.5 now, with its associated key, and it now seems to work. Not sure what happened… Maybe it’s the controls file, or the naming of the controls file. Anyway, it appears to be working just fine. thanks Zdenka!

    Now if I can only get rid of the gradient canvas, and get my logo in…

    Hi Allerbe,

    the gradient is an image in images/finished.png. You can replace this with an image of your choice.

    We will prepare this option for the next release, we’ll let you know about it.

    I’m glad the new version works for you now,

    Hi Zdenka and others,

    Unfortunately, changing images/finished.png into a full black image has NOT solved the problem. I still have a gradient background, which is especially distracting when going full screen using the ‘fit’ option.

    Also, the background of the control bar (which in my custom player has a gradient) is colored flat in FV WordPress Flowplayer. This more a cosmetic problem, but it’s strange that while other features of the custom player (timeline color, etc) are left intact, the control bar background would be overridden by a flat color.

    I have trouble getting rid of the gradient background. (commercial license).

    Zdenka suggested: “the gradient is an image in images/finished.png. You can replace this with an image of your choice.”

    I have exchanged it. It’s now black, no alpha.
    Flowplayer background still is a gradient…

    Hi Allerbe,

    The background should be changed also in the backend of WP in the FV WordPress Flowplayer settings – the canvas option.

    Hope this helps,
    Zdenka
