Hello Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

I’m playing HLS streams.

I have found it. It’s under Canvas Color Settings on the Custom Skin. How do I set it to transparent? I can’t see that option.

I have just enabled FlyingPress a while ago. It wasn’t running. However, I have excluded both and it’s not working. I have since disabled FlyingPress again, and it’s not working.

However, I have realized that the embed feature isn’t something I can work with right now. I thought I can use embed codes to embed videos on a page as opposed to shortcodes.

But the Embed function has to be active all the time for it to work. That means, I have to post the video on the body of a post for embeds to work.

Is there a way I can create an iframe from a shortcode? I have a special feature on my theme that can hook a video on the featured image area but it only supports iframes.

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

I intend to host videos on YouTube but get FV Player Pro to remove all that branding using the advanced YouTube embedding option on your plugin.

I have seen the demos and I’m really impressed. I’m thinking it’s the only way to avoid astronomical fees associated with video hosting.

I have looked at BunnyCDN, which is great for beginners. Bandwidth costs around $5/TB and around $0.02/GB of storage.

But once the platform I’m thinking of setting up grows, VideoPress by WordPress will be a great solution. It costs $10/month (paid yearly = $120) for unlimited bandwidth and up to 1TB of storage.

However, the advanced embedding function on FV Player Pro will help me avoid extra costs while still making videos appear custom-hosted on my platform.

Now I’m back to brainstorming because quality switcher on YouTube videos is not supported.

Thanks for letting me know where the problem is.

Hello Juraj,

Thanks for your response. I have found the problem. It’s not in the video player but on Brave Browser when all trackers are blocked from the website.

The browser takes some time to buffer the data content on the video before playing. Otherwise, response time is instant when the Brave Browser shields are disabled.

The issue isn’t present in any other browser using third-party adblockers and trackers.

Regards

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I did try to override it and the control bar showed up. However, it looks jumbled up but I will try to follow the CSS resources you’ve provided to see if I can fix it.

Thanks for your assistance.

However, I have tried to use it directly as it appears and their’s no change.

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your response. How do I override that line of CSS? Kindly provide me the CSS code of how it should appear, then I’ll transfer it to my website’s CSS.

Regards

Still waiting for help about this

Let me refine it a bit for part 1

1. Display both Large play button and control bar before video is played or stops at the end of the video.

2. Display both Large play button and control bar when a video is paused.

Hello Juraj,

I want to show both “…the large play button and controlbar.”

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your dedication. I have managed to sit down checked out how to create HLS streams and after trial and error in the past few hours, I have managed to nail it. I think I will use it. Let me continue refining it for now until I master how to use the feature effectively. Thank you so much.

Hello,

The first solution is great. The reason why this feature is great is because, the current quality switching requires files to be on the same directory and server and that is something I’d want to avoid at all costs.

Also, the advantage of using different servers available for free makes it easy for me to benefit from free bandwidth. However, these free servers limit you from creating directories.

I would have gone with HLS M3U8 but it’s a complex process, which I need to take time and learn and may be implement later at a later date. Therefore, having the first integration that you’ve described is great.

By having such an integration, I can load the MP4 links from different servers; hence, reduce the risk of being banned for taking advantage of such services.

Besides, it also makes it easy to reduce server loads. For example, I can have three different servers running on three different domains/subdomains to serve different video qualities just in case my bandwidth requirements exceeds the free video hosting services.

For example, Server 1 can be for hosting MOBILE QUALITY, Server 2 for SD quality, and Server 3 for HD quality.

If it can happen sooner then I’ll be so happy to upgrade and wait.

Hello Juraj

Thanks for your assistance.

Adding !important property to the font size CSS works. Otherwise without it the default font size supersedes the custom ones.

Thanks once more.

Hello Martin,

Yes, you have captured the idea well. Actually, it’s not necessary to build the feature separately. As you say, the slots when creating new videos can serve that purpose.

That’s what I thought it’s the function of those slots in the first place. If you can adjust that to work that way, then it will be a great. HLS streams are great.

But for small publishers, developing or renting HLS servers is not cost-effective for a start. We have free video hosting platforms that can enable one to grab the MP4 links and use them.

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your response. I have reduced it to the lowest value but still it does not take effect. However, editing the CSS works.

Hello,

Thanks for your response. The problem with Amazon Web Services is that it’s too expensive for video streaming. There are free hosting sites for videos and that come in handy.

Also, I can opt to host videos on my servers. There are cheaper hosting services out there for video streaming too. The challenge is the lack of a video link encryption feature can lead to spammers or people stealing content to skim through the MP4 links and end up stealing your bandwidth.

Hopefully, the quality switching feature and video source encryption feature can be added in the future. This plugin is great. Still setting up my site and I’ll buy it before the end of the month.
