Hi Martin, Alec,
I’m using a Windows 7 Home Premuin PC. Just tested on Chrome, IE, FF, and Safari and the issue only seems to occur on Chrome.
However, the problem is specific to FV Flowplayer.
If you go to http://www.pmperspective.com (using Chrome) you will see an example of an embedded YouTube video using the OptimizePress video embed element. You’ll see that the option to go full screen is there.
If you go to http://www.pmperspective.com/video-role-project-manager/ you will see the same video, embedded with FV Flowplayer, with no option to go full screen.
I’m fairly certain the option to go full screen was available on Chrome using FV Flowplayer in the past …
Any thoughts?
Hi Martin,
Ran the test. Opened the post, went away for a couple of hours, returned, clicked play and received a message that says, “Video file expired. Please reload the page and play it again.”
This is an excellent feature as my other setup would result in a message that said something like, “File not found” which I knew would be confusing. I actually had to hack the code in the plugin I was using to generate the signed URLs because I felt I needed to extend the expiry time out to several hours just to reduce the chance that someone might get a message like that and be confused. Now, with your new feature, not only do I have full control over the expiry time through the UI but the user is also given a helpful message in the event the page does expire – perfect!
Great job guys!!!!

Hey Martin,
I updated the plugin and attempted to add a bucket but I get the following error on the admin screen: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /…/wp-content/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/view/admin.php on line 82
And the “Add More Amazon S3 Secure Buckets” button doesn’t appear to do anything.
When I look at your code, line 76 through 80, $fv_fp->conf[‘amazon_bucket’] is a string so it makes sense that the foreach is having trouble.
If I manually instantiate the three variables above as arrays, the admin screen shows the way it’s supposed to.
Great job guys!
This is fast becoming my most favorite plugin! J
Looks like the Amazon S3 feature works great so far! Just tested it with a protected file and it seems to work well. I think all you have to do is fix the admin screen issue and you’re golden. I’ll lean on it some more tomorrow and let you know if I find anything else.

Thought I would chime in just in case my experience can help in any way.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to try using the Yoast video SEO plugin and,
so far, I’ve had no luck getting rich snippets to show up for my video
content.The Structured Data Testing Tool on Google Webmaster Tools won’t show video
rich snippets, and I thought that this meant that I was doing something
wrong until I read an article that confirmed that the Structured Data
Testing Tool was incapable of showing video rich snippets. I’d link to that
article but I can’t find it again…So – like you – I decided to wait and see if my videos would show up in
search results as rich snippets. After at least two weeks, I can search for
and see my videos on the SERP’s but – as of right now – no rich snippets.You can see the markup that Yoast inserted by examining the source code
here: ‘http://www…..com/how-to-create-a-project-charter/’I don’t know why it isn’t working. I did find this article which might
contain the answer, but there’s no way of knowing.https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1093493
I half suspect that “Is your marked-up content hidden from users?” might be
the answer … elements such as the title and description probably need to
show on the page … if that’s the case, your plugin would have to render
this information, not hide it, and give the site owner the ability to style
it…But – you see – that’s the trouble with google … there’s no way to know
why the rich snippets aren’t showing. Would it really be that hard to
provide us with a tool that says, “we will not show this rich snippet
because…?”Anyhow, I know my note didn’t provide any answers but thought I’d share my
experience just in case something in there might be useful…Jason
Martin,
The new icons look great! Excellent!
You guys are awesome – as always.

Disabled autobuffer and now the video loads every time in Chrome.
Thank you very much for working on this. Sincerely, you guys have been wonderful to work with.
The extra domain slot will come in handy for a dev environment!
Feel free to reach out if you need any testers/help.

Hey Martin,
I should have tested in multiple browsers. You’re right, it works great in
FF, Opera, Safari and IE … the trouble seems to be with Chrome – at least
for me.Does it work in Chrome for you?

Sorry guys … disabled Jeremys’ plugin fix and updated the FV WordPress
Flowplayer plugin and now the videos won’t load.‘http://www…..com/launch/’
Martin,
I’m using S3mediavault to create the urls that I then pass to FV WordPress Flowplayer.
If you wanted to build this feature into the your plugin – which would be awesome – the Amazon API explains everything:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html
I reached out to a developer friend of mine who was able to build me a quick plugin to deal with the “%2B” issue that I was having below, so everything is working for me now. If you like I can put you in touch with him…

Please disregard my last post. Somehow I missed the disable embedding option in the settings screen. Thanks.
