Missing video stops playlist playback

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Missing video stops playlist playback

  • davsinge 6 years, 7 months ago

    Hi,
    I have added a form to give the end user the option to add their videos… however sometimes they don’t fill in all the fields… This results in a video link with the following parameters

    <div style=”background-image:url(https://sitename.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/defvid.png)”></div><div style=”background-image:url(https://sitename.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/defvid.png)”></div>
    When the video has these parameters it wont load at all because the source is missing… clicking on this video in the playlist makes the player unable to play any other videos after that.
    I would like to hide the playlist item if it has a source of null can you please provide me with some way to manage this (preferably using css though js is okay) I have tried several things without being able to get any results
    thanks

    Hi davsinge!

    The form is an interesting idea. Maybe it would make sense to prevent form from being sent unless user fills in all the fields necessary. We will have a look into playlist not being able to continue after video source in one instance is missing completely. We would be happy to look into your specific issue with Pro Support.

    Thanks,
    Lucia

    sorry there are 4 form fields and they are for up to 4 video playlist items… this form submission is then included as a playlist inside the video player shortcode with another shortcode provided by the form.
    As a result the videos wont work inless they fill out more fields…. yes I do realize I can make this required, but it would be hardly reasonable for each of my customers to have all 4 videos or even require them to have one.
    If the src is empty the player should not display the content as null and does not continue working after you click on it.
    This is not a proper way for an application to work .
    I do not feel that I should be paying for pro support in this instance as it should not have this problem.

    Hello davsinge,

    I put making sure failing video won’t stop the whole playlist playback on my todo list. But currently there are other priorities, such as the database storage for FV Player or automated splash screens.

    What you can do in your code is to just skip the items without source defined. I believe you are generating your FV Player playlist shortcode in PHP, so it’s really easy to skip these empty videos.

    Thanks,
    Martin
