11 years ago in reply to: Firefox wont play my WebM file
Hi Simon,
You shouldn’t turn the plugin to “flash by default” long term. We will definitely help you get your videos playing.
I’m just checking on your licensing now to make sure everything is working okay. It appears to be. Here’s the link to your license page where you should enter your domain to get a key: http://foliovision.com/site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fv-licensing
When you have that key you should paste into your site at http://yourdomain.com/site/wp-admin/options-general.php
Open Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults by clicking on the title and then look for “Commercial License Key” and paste your license key in there.
Let me know if you still have issues with the license. If yes, please let me know what domain you would like licensed.
Thanks!

11 years ago in reply to: Wrong DomainHi Anonymous,
The licenses for Amember Flowplayer and FV Flowplayer are different. FV Flowplayer has a great deal of functionality that the Amember Flowplayer does not have:
- automated video encoding checker
- Text Ads (Google AdWords or your own)
- pre-roll, post-roll video (i.e. video ads)
- playlists
- full RTMP streaming compatibility
- mobile video support with flash fallback for some Chrome versions
- secure Amazon S3 and Cloudfront playback
- Advanced Vimeo Pro hosting support
- basic YouTube support (more coming)
- video lightbox
If some of these are of use to you, I hope you will join us as a user and supporter of FV Player Pro.

I’m sorry to hear about your CSS issues. Theme builder is probably the culprit. We’d be happy to solve your theme issue hands on. Just order a pro incident and we’ll fix your theme for you.

11 years ago in reply to: Playlist + secure Amazon S3 issueHi Purelife,
The pro version is available now. Give it a try.
What you would like here is to make the video cache times longer than the page cache times. You can also shorten your cache times with little harm done in terms of server load on a reasonable sized site.

All you can do is disable NextGenGallery’s javascript on non-NGG pages. Same can be done with FV Flowplayer. Then don’t mix the two.
NextGenGallery is at the top of my list of worst WordPress plugins. Poisoned many a site build in the day.

Thanks for the report.
Could you check if you can go full screen with YouTube videos on other sites? What browser and OS are you using?

If someone is going to do something like this it should be custom code on the site only. FV Simpler SEO was conceived to offer intelligent defaults and fail safe settings.

Perhaps we could release the feature now as well as we’ve been talking about it for a long time.
11 years ago in reply to: When will Foliopress be available for IE?Our honest recommendation Kamal at this point is that if you want to use Foliopress WYSIWYG pick either Safari, Chromium (we never recommend Chrome, it’s spyware) or Firefox.

Hi Andrew,
Zaxaa has to be able to work with standard WordPress shortcodes for us to be able to support it (and for it to be a good idea for you to use Zaxaa). Please hit up their tech support for support for standard WordPress shortcodes.
If Zaxaa can’t do it, we’ve set up lots of similar membership sites using open source S2 Member (we have a developer license for pro) which work a treat and allow full WordPress functionality.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Donald,
Thanks for your detailed report.
FV Flowplayer offers protected downloads as well. You don’t need a second plugin.
Thanks.
11 years ago in reply to: table structure in databaseHi Roger,
If you’d like to file a pro support incident, we’d be happy to accelerate these upgrades. Foliopress WYSIWYG is freeware and we’ve put many hundreds of hours into it. Strangely people still prefer the broken and overly complex WordPress image posting system. The WordPress text editor has gotten better but I still prefer our version, it’s much more resilient to complex posts.

11 years ago in reply to: Skins Cue Points and Slow MotionHi Nicole,
We are available for custom WordPress development, especially in the area of improving video presentation, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like help with specific websites.
Thanks.
11 years ago in reply to: Skins Cue Points and Slow MotionHi Nicole,
I kinda thought the player was containing 100% of flowplayer with amazon s3 connection coded in.
We have 100% of Flowplayer.org functionality plus a load more custom functionality and integration into WordPress which we’ve programmed. You can change the player CSS as much as you like to add another skin. What we do not have right now is multiple skins in a single website (which doesn’t sound like a particularly useful feature to me, outside of websites for small children: FV Flowplayer is focused on useful features like advertising, security and efficient workflow, not eye candy and bells and whistles).
If you’d like to have us build the custom template and posting interface for your client, please be in touch via a support ticket and we can quote you for any custom programming.
Making the web work for you, Alec
11 years ago in reply to: Skins Cue Points and Slow MotionHi Nicole,
That’s a great idea.
Martin’s solution for shortcodes is the right one and could lead to a really great site owner experience.
Hi Martin,
Could you please build those custom fields into a proper interface which can be enabled in options and can be turned on and off using WordPress Screen Options?
We should also do a page of documentation on how to use FV Flowplayer in templates with quick video entry.
11 years ago in reply to: Skins Cue Points and Slow MotionHi Nicole,
I’m glad we were able to help. We’re happy to keep improving the code of our video player. We aim to be the most feature rich and easiest to use video player on WordPress.
Most of the advanced functionality which works with Flowplayer works directly in our plugin.
Thanks for being part of Foliovision!
11 years ago in reply to: Skins Cue Points and Slow MotionHi Nicole,
Martin will get back to you tomorrow or Monday about how to implement these features and we’ll add some better documentation for these features.
Which of them do you need?
Thanks for your patience.
11 years ago in reply to: convert video shortcode to fvplayerHi Martin,
It should be added as an optional extra, turned on by default (i.e. if someone wants to use two video players, they can turn it off, but we’ll assume if they have installed FV Flowplayer they would prefer to use FV Flowplayer).
Thanks!
11 years ago in reply to: convert video shortcode to fvplayerHi Rich,
There’s a number of ways to change tags, one of the easiest would be to install the Regex plugin.
http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/search-regex/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-regex/Otherwise, I believe we support the simple [video] shortcode by default when FV Flowplayer is installed. Martin will be able to confirm on Monday.
Thanks!
Hi Alex,
I think you answered your own question. Fix your template/theme. Add the wp_footer()hook.
If you’d like to order a pro support incident we could fix your template/theme for you. Having proper WP header and footer hooks is essential for many other plugins as well.
Thanks for trying FV plugins.
11 years ago in reply to: PLS and M3U radio playlistsHi Fred,
Please see my post above for recommended audio plugins. FV Flowplayer is focused on being the best WordPress video player and we recommend a dedicated audio player for advanced audio features.
Thanks!
Ours are set up to be moved to the service of your choice via CSV, before implementing the final solution.
11 years ago in reply to: PLS and M3U radio playlistsHi Britt
Martin was supposed to get back to yesterday with some detailed instructions.
Our audio implementation is deliberately basic and we would recommend that you’d choose a dedicated audio solution if you need advanced audio. Just by reading the description of the plugins below, you’ll see how much different the requirements are for an audio player than a video player. We are dedicated on being the most feature rich and easiest to use video player for WordPress.
Here’s the two WordPress audio players we recommend:
Free:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/compact-wp-audio-player/
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-audio-music-player-plugin-4556Free with Pro version:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/

11 years ago in reply to: Ad options for YouTube and Vimeo VideosHi Alf,
You’re welcome.
What underlying systems do DFP and LiveRail work on?
Currently you can add your own ads. So probably adding the external video services would be custom coding.

11 years ago in reply to: Ad options for YouTube and Vimeo VideosHi Alf,
Yes, you can as soon as we release our YouTube and Vimeo version of the plugin. This is coming very soon.
I.e. the pre-roll ads are working already. There is a temporary workaround if you are willing to host the content yourself in the meantime. There could be copyright issues though depending on what the content is.

Hi Radu,
Do you have a FV Flowplayer 5 license? If not, this site-specific issue would be covered by a Pro Support Incident. I’m sure if you changed your theme the problem would go away. And FV Flowplayer 5 probably works on most Gantry sites (probably something specific to your set up). Again, this is web development and not plugin support.

Hi Fred,
VAST/VPAID is more complicated than just adding pre-roll tags. We are coming out with a VAST/VPAID solution soon as an add on. We will not be able to help you implement VAST/VPAID on your own.
You can run AdWords in our existing ad section (or affiliate ads or your own ads).

Hi Janna,
The playlist feature will remain in lightboxes attached to the post for the forseeable future: at Foliovision we prefer front end editing attached to the content in question. It’s a much faster workflow. Check out our Thoughtful Comments and FV Simpler plugins for examples of simple front end editing from Foliovision.
We may add advanced backend playlists in the pro version at some point. Someone will have to make a convincing business/use case for backend playlists first. Feel free to be that someone.
I don’t know if you noticed but the playlist feature is brand new feature. Right now we are working hard on functionality before cleaning the user interface (we followed this process for the main player as well. If you have any clear ideas on how playlists should look feel free to forward them.

My first thought is that I wouldn’t mix Cloudfront in with Amazon S3 and restricted content. Amazon S3 and Cloudfront are largely redundant in any case.

Hi Ed,
If the Google sitemap feature requires full paths, that is probably more an issue for that end of the software than for FV Flowplayer. We can use full absolute paths on our end but I’m not sure if people would be very happy about it (requires additional connections) and we’ve had hosting companies complain about absolute paths on internal media.
Creating absolute paths on publish is no problem whatsoever if we can establish that absolute paths won’t create worse problems of their own.

11 years ago in reply to: Video content not fitting the playerHi Emptymind,
If you moved more to a membership model (like S2 Member or Wishlist for example), the latest version of our plugin does handle Amazon S3 secure URLs from specific pages (access restricted by membership plugin). The latest version is coming tomorrow or Thursday.

I’m pretty sure the not-indexing issue has not got anything to do with FV Simpler SEO. If you’d like to pick up a Pro Support incident, we’d be happy to look into your issue and help you find out why your site is not indexing (we are a pro SEO firm so this is a ridiculously cheap way to get some pro SEOs to look at your site’s issues).

Hi planck,
Our simple recommendation here is to use only Latin characters for video file names (which as a general rule makes the whole internet run more reliably). I can see an argument for UTF-8 post URLs but for files, I’d stick to Latin.
This is from someone who speaks five languages, many with lots of non-Latin characters. Why? I like my files to load reliably on every device.
That said as soon as it’s possible we’ll add the upgrade to allow non-Latin filenames.
11 years ago in reply to: Unable to redirect??Hi Patrick,
Martin’s post is accurate but the short version is:
- your template is out of date
- update your template for compatibility with current WordPress and modern plugins
- FV Flowplayer 5 will then also work fine
We’ve seen out of date jQuery libraries as a big issue not just with FV Flowplayer 5 but with sliders as well (i.e. sliders break when you update).
