Hi all,
my “Splash end (show splash image at the end)” doesn’t work with live video streaming in rtmp. It works only if I publish a simple mp4 video.
Is there a fix for this issue?
…and…
is there a way to show a custom picture instead of the label
“Live stream load failed.
Please try again later, perhaps the stream is currently offline.”many thanks
r.

Hello Alessandro,
technically the live stream has no end, it can only be turned off. We could add a special class to the player element when we detect it’s not responding – that’s the error message you pasted. Then you could put in some image using CSS. Would that work for you?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
that would be great, so when a user click on player to play the video, the player notifies to user a friendly custom splash screen.
Do you prepare soon an update or you send me a beta plugin for wordpress in order to test it?Many thanks
Alessandro
Hello Alessandro,
we will put it into a new version. Just look for it later this week, or at the start of the next week.
Thanks,
Martin
Hello Alessandro,
I realized we don’t have to do anything. Simply use some CSS like this:
.flowplayer.is-live.is-error .fp-message {
display: none;
}
.flowplayer.is-live.is-error .fp-waiting {
display: none;
}
.flowplayer.is-live.is-error {
background-image: url(images/live-stream-down.jpg) !important;
background-size: contain !important;
}Thanks,
Martin
Hi MArtin,
that’s good, but I have a question about the location of CSS files.
After the last plugin update I found a folder named wp-content/fv-flowplayer-custom and a style-1.css inside.
The plugin uses this file for style and not the css files inside wp-content/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/css.
The style-1.css is the same of flowplayer.css. It contais relative path to folder and something more (it’s a little bit bigger).
Is it changed something?
Your code in your post works only in style-1.cssThanks
Alessandro
Hello Alessandro,
you should be putting the CSS into your theme stylesheet. We recommend that you never modify any plugin CSS as you will loose your changes in a plugin update. style-1.css is our special CSS where we put the plugin CSS and the skin settings – to prevent CSS rules in HTML header.
Thanks,
Martin
