Hello Bebopblues,
Thank you for reaching out!
Can you please send us a site where we can test this issue hands-on?
Thanks,
MariaHello Willie,
We wanted to investigate right after your inquiry. However, by the morning the settings have been reverted to the way they were previously.
We checked back yesterday (a week later) and it seems Vimeo sticks with the previous settings for the time being. Should you run into similar issues later on, just let us know.
Thanks,
Maria1 year ago in reply to: Make my video most secureHelo Mustafa,
We apologize for the late reply.
As you’re using FV Player Coconut with the Pro version of our player, if you’re utilizing encryption, then you’re getting the best possible video protection we offer.
For example, there is an additional protection called signed URLs. These create a special time-sensitive signature that are tied to user ID. Meaning, only the user that originally accessed the video will be able to play it. The link will not work for anyone else or on other domains.
This protection has to be set up manually for some options, such as AWS, or if you’re just using BunnyCDN. FV Player Coconut with the Pro version does this automatically. You can learn more here: https://foliovision.com/player/video-security/video-protection-methods/signed-urls-hls-protection
Long story short, if you’re using encryption (not only encoding) with Coconut and use the Pro version of FV Player, all the most advanced security methods are bundled into it and you don’t need to do anything extra.
Let me know, if you have any other questions.

Maria1 year ago in reply to: How to add phone number on drm text featureHello Mustafa,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
FV Player lets you enable/disable various items to be shown in the DRM Text. Sadly, a phone number is not one of them nor do we plan on adding it. It could be discussed as a custom paid development, if you’re interested.
As for text visibility, the text is not white but gray and there is a opacity setting. A high opacity grey text should be visible and readable on a white background.
We only have the flash setting demo, as the preset is a global setting for the whole website. Flash is more suitable for a demo, as the always visible preset is easier to imagine. It’s always visible and changes positions in irregular intervals (to make it harder to erase).
Let me know, if you have any other question.

Maria1 year ago in reply to: Html5: Video loading abortedHello Remy,
Thank you for reaching out to us! Are you aware of anything being different between the videos that work and those which don’t?
Please, send us the contents of the admin video checker: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/how-to-use-video-checker The way the video checker works is that you need to come in as admin and open the video checker and send us a report about the video. It works on desktops.
Thanks,
Maria1 year ago in reply to: Sound does not activate on the Desktop versionHello David,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
The video has a “Click to unmute” message on top of it. Once you click that, the audio seems to work just fine.
The reason the video plays without audio is the fact that nearly all browsers and mobile devices disallow autoplay with audio.
It is done to counter intrusive playback. You can see how the sound doesn’t activate on autoplay videos unless you choose to when scrolling social media too.
Let me know, if you have any other questions.

Maria1 year ago in reply to: Transcript autoscrollHello Michael,
Turns out this issue is foliovision.com specific and pertains to a different version of FV Player than the one available to download.
The transcript autoscroll works just fine in the plugin version that is currently live and all the preceding versions.
If you were able to reproduce the issue on your website as well, please let us know.

Maria1 year ago in reply to: Splash Image Showing Up Above PlayerHello John,
We apologize for the late reply.
Try enabling Settings->FV Player->Integrations/Compatibility->Load FV Flowplayer JS everywhere (for more information, please consult: https://foliovision.com/player/getting-started/page-builder-player)
Also, you can check if FV Player inserted a featured image and delete it to see, if it helps.
Lastly, what theme are you using?

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Amazon VIP DRM Encoding BundleHello Michael,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
-
Within the service, we create five outputs, using presets based on the general best practices. However, there is a myriad of possible presets that can be set.
-
We can help you use any of these. Most of them eliminate the need for us to manually assign presets (we assign the presets and you just copy the settings of the initial job for other videos), as AWS will handle it. For you, as an FV Player AWS workflow end user, it doesn’t change anything.
It is more foolproof in the sense of serving videos for viewers, however, keep in mind that AWS charges some hefty fees for usage of these automated methods.
We don’t usually utilize these methods, but should you be interested in using one of these, just let us know and we can arrange for it. -
For this, please, refer to our MediaConvert setup guide steps 9.-15. : https://foliovision.com/player/video-security/encoding/mediaconvert-encrypted-hls-guide#job-mediaconvert
-
Yes, of course. Once you duplicate a job to get all the other settings, you get to change any of the settings before submitting the new job (a job is the assignment for MediaConvert). To get a better idea of what awaits you as an end user, consult this guide: https://foliovision.com/player/video-security/encoding/mediaconvert-end-user-guide
-
It is changed in MediaConvert itself. To see the exact process, see the linked guide and mentioned steps above. We don’t offer an interface for the AWS integration.
We do offer one for Coconut and BunnyStream. For the latter two, the process is a lot different. Let me know, if you’re interested in knowing more about other encoding options. -
We use static key. There’s a handy key generator in our guides to make the steps easier.
Let me know, if you have any other questions. I’m happy to help.

We’re not aware of receiving any reports of similar issues. This might be a theme or a plugin conflict.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: HLSJS-LITE Network Error bunn Video StreamHello Abdikani,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Sadly, both of these have to be TURNED OFF to allow playback. Bunny Stream only allows to use the MediaCage DRM with their native player. You will not get this protection in any other player.
Token authentication also has to be turned off.You can, however, strengthen the protection by adding an Allowed Domain. You can find out more here: https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/bunny-stream-player-integration#bunny-stream-protection
Let me know, if you have any other questions.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Adding custom language code in subtitlesHello Steve,
I’m glad to hear the manual shortcode works for you in the intended way. Thanks for the follow-up.
Making the web work for you,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Adding custom language code in subtitlesHello Steve,
Here’s a working manual FV Player shortcode that should result in the subtitles being calle “Default (easy)” :
[fvplayer src="https://vimeo.com/30270430" subtitles_easy="https://cdn.foliovision.com/images/2016/04/test-subtitles.vtt" splash="https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/203238365-e5f29a10b1b412bb3fe5a65a2906496c113188728968af0b3bc200c117d2b16d-d_1920x1080?r=pad" caption="Nízke Tatry"]
Try it on your website and let me know, if it works for you or if it still shows kr. When you input via the settings, it usually tries to assume a default language code.
Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Adding custom language code in subtitlesHello Steve,
While it cannot be done via settings, there is a way to give custom names to subtitles via the manual shortcode parameters.
The thing is, while the naming works, it shows up as additional information to undefined language files: “Default (easy”) , Default (normal)”. Instead of just naming the language as it usually does. Would this be an viable option for you?
If so, then you can do so by adding a suffix to the subtitles parameter. Like this:
subtitles_easy=”https://your-website.com/uploads/subtitles.vttTo add more, subtitle files, just change the name and link:
subtitles_normal=”https://your-website.com/uploads/subtitles2.vttYou can learn more about manual shortcodes here: https://foliovision.com/player/developers/shortcode-parameters#subtitles
However, the player still expects a language code to be there, thus the “Default (name)”. As for adding the custom name as the actual name, no, there is no option to do that at the moment. We would have to discuss it. Does this solution fit your needs?

Thank you for reaching out to us!
Please, try using your VAST tag here: https://foliovision.com/player/fv-player-vast-vpaid/vast-vpaid-tools/tester To determine, whether the issue is with the tag or something else.
Also, use the browser console (https://foliovision.com/player/troubleshooting/browser-console) and see, if any VAST-related errors appear in it.
Thanks,
MariaHello Coyotech,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Yes, that precisely is what FV VAST allows you to do. It shouldn’t be too hard. Most of the setup happens on the service where you create the VAST URL, so much of the process depends on the service you pick. Our plugin then allows you to use it and set when the ad is supposed to be triggered.
As for the cost, while we do offer the special bundle for buying the products together, there is no discount for adding the other plugin later. This means, you’ll have to buy the regular FV Player VAST for $150.
Good news is that since you already own FV Player Pro, the decreased renewal prices for existing customers would bridge the price gap between regular purchase and the price of the bundle. Of course, same decreased renewal prices will apply to the VAST plugin.
Let me know, if you have any other questions.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Video Encoding for HTML 5Hello Robert,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
At this point in time, this shouldn’t cause any issues. Your choice of serving depends on many factors, but for most of them IVS is a better choice. For example, if security is one of them, then IVS is definitely a better choice than mp4.
Have you experienced or were told about any issues with playback on any devices, or are you just making sure?

I see you’ve tried to find more information about about the free FV Player Coconut add-on and services/costs associated with it. I have answered your comment on our article about encoding prices: https://foliovision.com/2021/09/video-encoding-prices-cost
I suggest we continue the conversation here. Let me know, if you have any questions based on my answer to your comment.
As for your other questions, yes the DRM Text feature can be used on any video embedded via FV Player.
Based on your comment on the article, it seems you’ve already found out that the correct way to not burden your website is to use an storage service provider to host large files for you.
I look forward to any further questions or comments you may have.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Multiple Preroll ads with YouTube PlaylistHello Charvalis,
Yes, this is possible to do. There are two ways to do so.
-
VMAP (This is what VMAP is: https://www.iab.com/guidelines/vmap/) And Google supports it: https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/client-side/tags
-
Via FV Player VAST. You can set the time triggers for ads via the shortcode parameters. For example: midroll=”0,30,60″. Which in your case you’d put them a second apart. In your case, you’d use the midroll parameter to all the ads. For example: midroll=”0,1,30,31,60,61″. It is less conventional, but it should work just fine.
Hope this helps.

You mention it returned a few upgrades later. Can you provide us with a rough estimate of when?

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Flussonic HLS encryptionHello Abel,
We apologize for the late reply.
While FV Player Pro does offer some additional security, most of the protection still depends on where you choose to host your stream. It being an HLS stream is itself already a big step towards protection. However, the signed URL feature does not work for every provider.
We would like to look into the possibilities of supporting your hosting source ( https://obslivestream.com/ ) however, this can prove to be hard since it seems they do not provide any API or programmer-centric documentation at all. Do you, as a customer have access to API or any documentation that may help us see how the service works and if we can support it?

That’s great to hear. Yes, both can be defined in manual shortcodes.

As for HTML popups, those are created in the settings and then you call them by adding the “popup” parameter and a number of the popup. Like this: popup=”2″
Thanks,
MariaHello Taco,
I apologize for the late reply. Yes, this can be done as a part of Pay Per View video memberships integration with Restrict Content. It lets you set a preview video for non-members and asks them to become a member to access the full video. You can learn more here: https://foliovision.com/player/membership-ppv-elearning/ppv/sell-video-subscriptions-wordpress
As for other solutions, we do not currently offer anything else that would disallow to continue playback after a message is shown. Our programmer Martin may be able to help you figure out something else, however, he’s on a well deserved vacation at the moment. Also, please keep in mind that based on the amount of work, this may need to be considered a paid Pro Support Incident.
Alternatively, if you’re able to figure out the part of restricting further playback yourself, the following features may help you: the custom start-end time (https://foliovision.com/player/features/playback/custom-start-end-time) to tell the player when to stop and an html pop-up to display the message: https://foliovision.com/player/video-ads/built-advertising-tools/setting-up-html-popups.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Transfer License to another domainHello Oluwajoba,
We were by no means ignoring you or avoiding any questions. We are a tiny team and sometimes due to external factors (such as for example illnesses, family matters, etc.), we are not able to answer quite as quickly as we’d like to. We do deeply apologize for keeping you waiting.
Your license has expired over a year ago (28th of February 2021). The reason you’re not able to download a new version is that because of inactive license, you are not eligible to get the newest version. The downloadable file is always the newest version. Perhaps this system could be made better to somehow take into account which version to offer the user to download. I’ll ask Martin about that.
But yes, at this time, you would have to renew your license to re-gain access to download the plugin. After all, we’ve added many new features and integrations during this past year, so you might just find renewing to be a good choice for you.
I’m not sure whether threatening to obtain our product illegally is a smart decision on your part. All you’ve achieved is incriminating yourself, making us distrustful towards you and motivating us to work harder against piracy. On the other hand, if you’d like to let us know and warn us about such illegal reproduction of our software (so that we could counter it), we’d greatly appreciate it.

Your license has been transferred to joba.vx@gmail.com you should be able to see your license at https://foliovision.com/my-licenses now.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Transfer License to another domainHello Oluwajoba,
You seem to have two accounts at foliovision.com. While you are currently replying from an account associated with the email address “joba.vx@gmail.com”, your license belongs to “jobavx@gmail.com”.
Would you like me to transfer your license to the “joba.vx@gmail.com” (the one you use for forums communication) account?
Thanks,
MariaHello Andy,
Oh, I see now. Yes, this seems to be a completely normal behavior.
Do you have Settings -> FV Player -> Sitewide FV Player Defaults -> Remember video position enabled?
It seems that on a repeat visit, the remember video position feature is simply overriding the users choice to watch a different chapter. While a rather uncommon issue, I can see how this can prove to be bothersome. I’ll forward this to Martin to see, if there’s an easy fix.

MariaHello Walter,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
I checked the link you’ve sent us. I was not able to reproduce the issue you’ve described. In fact, I experienced a whole different type of issue. Trying to play a video redirects the viewer back to the top of the page. Are you aware of this behavior and know what caused it or do you need help with fixing it?
Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Player screen is blank in few occurancesHello Sudhir,
We apologize for the late reply. I see you’re currently no longer using FV Player in the sample links.
Are the issues present for a specific browser or device type, or do they happen regardless of this?
Could you please send us a report for one of such videos via the built-in admin video checker? Here’s how: https://foliovision.com/player/troubleshooting/how-to-use-video-checker

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Customise the Chapter List below playerHello Andy,
The heading can be centered by adding:
margin-left: -200px;However, this yet again is not a responsive solution. It will look quite bad on a small screen. I will have to discuss the possibilities with Martin. However, he is currently on vacation. He’ll get back to you on Wednesday.
Thanks,
MariaHello Andy,
I checked out one of the videos with chapters on your website, and I am not able to reproduce this behavior. What device, OS and browser are you experiencing these issues on? Does it happen for all videos?
Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Customise the Chapter List below playerHello Andy,
I apologize for the late reply. So if I understand correctly, you are not looking to have two columns, but to center the text of a single column?
Does this code work according to your needs?:
.fv_fp_chapters {
text-align:center
}Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Please add video duration in Schema.org tagsHello TigerClaw,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
I will forward this ticket to our programmer Martin, so that he can asses the suggestion and what will be needed to implement it.
Thanks,
MariaHello Paolo,
Sorry, for the late reply. As a small team, we often don’t work over the weekend.
I see you’ve purchased a Pro Support Incident along with the Pro player. We will contact you via the purchase email to talk over the details of the player setup and your needs.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Customise the Chapter List below playerHello Andy,
- Actually, this should work:
.fv_fp_chapters:before {
content: ‘Video Chapters’;
margin-left: -24px;
}You may need to change the margin to fit your theme and other settings.

Thank you for the question.

This cannot really be done via CSS. I’ll consult this request with Martin.

Thank you for this request. I can definitely see other users wanting to use this one. I’ve added it here: https://foliovision.com/player/faq/css-tips-and-fixes#columns-chapters

MariaHello Foone,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
You can set skip time in FV Player, however, it is set by default for all videos. I’ll forward your request to our programmer Martin. However, please keep in mind that it will most likely be considered as a paid custom feature.
As for hiding the skip button, you can find a CSS trick here: https://foliovision.com/player/faq/css-tips-and-fixes#changing-colour-of-video-ad-text (this is also a global solution for all video ads).
Thanks,
MariaHello Ivaylodemidov,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
The built-in player statistics do not allow for this at the moment. The feature is quite recent and we definitely do plan on making additions in the future.
You can achieve real time view via the integration with Google or Matomo Analytics. You can read more about these integrations here: https://foliovision.com/player/analytics
Let me know, if this solution fits your needs.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Multiple audio tracksHello Joern,
This largely depends on your method of transcoding the multiple audio tracks.
Most software that allows for adding multiple audio tracks also allow to add default and non-default tags to the audio streams. For example, we recommend using MKVToolsNix: https://foliovision.com/player/audio/multiple-audio-tracks-player which has a ” “Default track” flag ” setting.
If your software of choice doesn’t have this option, the streams tend to be arranged based on the order of transcoding. So, the first audio added will be assigned as default.
If you use FFmpeg, besides the order of streams, you can also use the “-disposition” command to make sure.
Let me know, if you have any other questions.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Second license for additional domainHello Nikolaos,
Thank you for the question!
You can add another domain by going to https://foliovision.com/my-licenses and clicking the red “Add more domains” button. Additional domain packages are progressively cheaper. One domain addition costs $50, so just like a license renewal after expiration. Third one costs just $40, etc.

MariaHello Alex,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
The subtitles still worked quite recently. As you can see, FV Player is aware there are the subtitle options parsed from YouTube, but it fails to show them. I will forward this bug to our developers and they will investigate shortly.

Maria2 years ago in reply to: Video sound since the beguining, no mute?Hello Mel,
Could you elaborate a bit please? By controls inside the player, do you mean some sort of an visual element, or are you looking for keyboard shortcuts?

Maria2 years ago in reply to: FV Player Stats not showing upHello Bryan,
Are you still experiencing this issue? The stats do need a bit of time before showing up.
Thanks,
MariaHello Mel,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Could you elaborate a bit more on what behavior were you expecting? Were you expecting all your Bunny Stream videos to automatically create a playlist in FV Player?
Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Video sound since the beguining, no mute?Hello Mel,
Is this regarding autoplay videos or regular ones that need to be turned on manually?
For autoplay videos, the player remembers your preferences. Please, try viewing the video in incognito or guest mode and see, if it plays muted.
As for regular videos, you can set the default audio in FV Player -> Settings -> Sitewide FV Player Defaults -> Default Volume
Let me know, if it helped.
Thanks,
MariaHello Dave,
We’ve received this request from someone else early this month. We’ve discussed it and our Creative Director Alec Kinnear, has decided against the addition.
He argued that:
” Chromecast users are accustomed to Chromecast being offered only when it is available. If Chromecast is always available, we have to set up failure notifications for why it’s not working across all devices and ask people to “Attach or set up a Chromecast device”. This will push many of our publishers into a lot of extra support for why Chromecast is not working.We could of course just say “No Chromecast available” but then many users will ask why we are showing Chromecast in the first place.
It’s not an easy call. It’s much better for us to follow convention and do what Chromecast normally does in other players and applications, to follow expectations. There are times for innovation (playlist style for example, or improvements to video uploading like our FV Coconut which to be honest should revolutionise self-hosted high quality video publishing) and there are times to follow convention (mostly when working with other people’s API’s) like this.”
That being said, as YouTube started showing the icon all the time now and we’ve gotten this request for the second time within a month, this decision may just be reconsidered. I’ll let the team know there are more users looking for this change.
Thanks,
MariaHello Commerz,
I’m really not sure why it works just fine for me, but I tried several times on two devices. Are you looking for the icon to be always present (as YouTube does it)? The icon only really shows up once there’s a Chromecast device detected on the same network.
Also, sadly iOS devices are not supported for Chromecast yet, simply because iOS doesn’t support casing from Chrome browser app yet. For iOS devices, you can use AirPlay instead.
I’m sorry for asking, but trust me this happens even to the best – are you sure the Chromecast is connected to the same network as the casting device? Also, don’t forget to use only Chrome browser. To go over the whole checklist, our guide may help you: https://foliovision.com/player/casting/chromecast
Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Link to bring up FV Player in a new window.Hello Fobraynes,
I now see that because of the need for a clickable text you via the manual shortcode. That way, features can be used without having the option in the editor.
The popped up video size can be edited in the “Video” tab by setting the size of the player there. Or you can also set it as a default, as you already have. Try using pixels instead of percentage. For example, 1280×720 (standard HD 720p).
Thanks,
Maria2 years ago in reply to: Link to bring up FV Player in a new window.Hello Fobrayes,
I apologize for the late reply.
Default size in settings is for regularly inserted players. We also recommend using pixels instead of percentage. The size of the Lightbox popup can be set for each individual video right next to where you enable the lightbox (see screenshot).
We are truly sorry to hear you find our documentation insufficient. Is this connected to the Lightbox article or our documentation (https://foliovision.com/player) as a whole? We’d love to hear your feedback on what is missing or what we could do better to make it easier for you.
Thanks,
MariaHello Dave,
I tested casting both of your videos from an Android device and a desktop Chrome browser. Everything worked just fine for me.
Please, make sure you are connected to the same network as the Chromecast device and that you are exclusively using Chrome browser when trying to cast.
Thanks,
MariaHello Taco,
I apologize for the late reply. Thank you for your patience.
The video works fine for me. Could you provide us with a test page so that we could see the video in your environment? What devices, OSs and browsers were you and your customers using?
Thanks,
Maria -
