Hi,
I have a page with several players on it.
This code works:
if( typeof(flowplayer) != "undefined" ) { flowplayer( function(api,root) { api.bind('ready', function() { alert( 'Video duration is '+api.video.duration ); }); }); }But something simple like this does not (getting api is not defined error):
var api = flowplayer(0); api.load();Just want to load the api for an arbitrary player (in this example the first player on the page) and start the playback.
What am I missing? Thanks!

Hello miksmusic,
do you run that code on page load? If so, try to run in only once FV Player has finished loading
document.addEventListener( 'fv_player_loaded', function() { ... });This is required as FV Player only loads once user starts interacting with the page. You can disable this by unchecking Settings -> FV Player -> Integrations/Compatibility -> “Optimize FV Flowplayer JS loading”.
Thanks,
Martin
Thank you!
That works great. However, I had to switch to version 7.4 due to another issue. Does 7.4 have a similar trigger I can use?
Hello miksmusic,
unfortunately it was only around since 7.5.0.727.
Here’s what you posted regarding FV Player 7.5 and 7.4:
I managed to improve the overall performance but there’s a bizarre issue I can’t quite understand. Seems to be related to v.7.5 only.
In short, if I have a number of players preloaded on a page and if i start playing the media one by one, eventually it will stop loading (only load with a considerable delay like 2-3 minutes or more). It’s somewhat random but seems to be happening more often after playing a larger file.
All media links are correct.
The first click always loads fine, not matter the file size.
Downgrading to 7.4 fixes the loading issue but 7.4 lacks the js events that I’m using elsewhere on the site, so ideally would prefer to stay with 7.5.
Please let us know what you did to improve the performance. What exact issue were you trying to solve?
Thanks,
Martin
Hello miksmusic,
actually I found your new forum thread about the issue here: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/slow-loading-media-in-certain-cases-in-v-7-5-works-in-7-4#post-160939
Thank you for posting that! Let’s continue there.
