Hi Martin,

thank you for the quick reply. Changing that setting worked.

Merging these two options into one setting might indeed be a good idea to clarify things.

Our custom post type runs on init as well but with no specific priority.

There are some scheduled video posts where an empty FV player block was inserted but no video set yet. For these blocks I still see the broken block info like:
“Block validation: Block validation failed forfv-player-gutenberg/basic` (Object).

Content generated by save function:

Content retrieved from post body:

<div class=”wp-block-fv-player-gutenberg-basic”></div>“`

I guess I have to change them manually, right? But this is something I think I can explain to the editors.

Just to make sure, do you need the whole block code of the page? Because the screenshot above just shows the part with the player.

Hi Martin,

thank you for the quick response.

Yes the videos work in the frontend. Just so you know, we use a custom post type called “video” where almost all the videos are placed.

What are the next steps?

Hello Martin,

thank you for the reply and info.
Checking for

if( typeof(api.video.click) == 'undefined' ) { ... }

seems to work to get the main video. Although it seems a little odd, that the the main video is returning undefined whereas the pre-roll returns the video object.

But nonetheless this solves our issue.

Thanks,
Robert

Hello Martin,

thank you for your answers. This works for now.

Best regards

Hello Martin,

yes that did the trick.
Following your instructions worked.

Thanks,

Hello Martin,

You were right, it’s the video ads. When the feature is activated in the global FV Player settings under “Video Ads”, I can see in the player code the playlist part and in the video the playlist controlls.

As you suggested, if I set “No ad” in the actions tab, everything works fine. But this is not a solution, because we have hundreds of videos and can’t set this on every video by hand.

So it seems like the problem here is the “Use site default” option.

The affected website has very strong security measures. I have to check if I’m allowed to grant you access. In any case I would need you IP address to add it the our whitelist.

Best regards,
Robert

Hello Juraj,

I’m sorry for the confusion.

Because all videos are for registered users only, you need to login nevertheless. But you can use one of our test accounts. How should I send you the login credentials?

Thanks,
Robert

Hello,

I have a new problem regarding this topic so I post it right here and don’t open a new ticket. I hope thats ok?

My problem is, that the default ordering of the quality switch does not work. On the options page it is set like that:

Name
-hd-720p
-sd-480p
Label
HD 720p
SD 480p

So the HD quality is first and should be loaded on default by the videos, but that does not work. On the first load the user get the SD video. If he switches to HD everything works fine and his choice is saved in the cookie. Have you any idea what the problem could be?

Kind regards,
Robert

That’s it, now it’s working and I can move on from that.
Thank you very much.

Hello Martin,

thank you for your help so far. I’m already working on a JS script for that.
But to trigger the video play-event by JS, I need it’s ID.
Is there a way to obtain the ID by php somehow? Like the WordPress function the_ID(); but for the video.

Thanks,
Robert

Sorry, my comment got messed up. I try again:

Hello Martin,

thank you for you answer. This is definitely pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Martin,

unfortunately the code was not working for me at first.
I then tried around a bit and found out, that when I delete this query: if (typeof _gat != ‘undefined’) { … } it suddenly works. I don’t know what this “_gat” is but it seems to be undefined because the code after was not executed.

Without the query it works as expected.
