9 years ago in reply to: How to apply CSS to splash image
Hello Sidney,
I believe this was answered here: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/how-to/how-to-remove-play-button-from-splash-image?replies=2#post-4621
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: How to remove play button from splash imageHello Sidney,
you can use “.is-splash.flowplayer .fp-ui” and change the background-url CSS property for it.
Thanks,
MartinHello Amit,
it should be possible to just copy the file path. So in your above case, assuming it’s an RTMP stream (you haven’t posted the full metadata, we can’t check it without that), following should work:
[fvplayer rtmp="http://xxx.xxx.com:1935/live" rtmp_path="media_b181821_w1359884998.abst"]
Also, the bitrate is just 177, so it must be a very low quality stream.
Thanks,
MartinHello Bruno,
no luck yet. Notice, that the video can’t be paused either.
I tried to use the same configuration (CloudFront video, controlbar=”no” and splashend=”show”) here, but it works in Safari 7.1: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/cloudfront-download-protection -> Checking Safari 7.1 issues
There must be something with your theme or plugins. I’m noticing this JavaScript error: “ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: TB_WIDTH” in thickbox.js on line 280.
Could you try to use the WordPress theme preview function with the Twenty Fourteen template, find your page using search and see if it also fails on Safari?
Now I’m getting “Fehler beim Aufbau einer Datenbankverbindung”, is your server overloaded?
Thanks,
MartinHello Amit,
are your f4m files containing multiple quality streams? We could add a support for this, but would like to see some nice f4m stream for testing before we decide to implement this.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Vimeo Channel SupportHello Steve,
we made some good progress on this. The loading is now much faster, it’s absolutely required if you have more than say 8 items in the channel. We need to fix it for mobile phones though.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Vimeo Channel SupportHello Steve,
sorry about not getting back to you. This is getting done.
However we are facing some issues when the channel has too much videos in it which we have to fix – we have to improve the video loading for this to work efficiently.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Have Audio, but no videoHello Mark,
the “Admin: Video Warnings” message should be clickable. Clicking it should bring up more details. If it doesn’t, there may be a CSS bug, although we haven’t had this issue before. Try to preview your site with TwentyFourteen theme, find your video there and you should be able to click the message.
You can also reencode your video, check our HTML5 video encoding guide: https://foliovision.com/player/encoding
Visual composer won’t affect the video checker. Is there any other bug you are experiencing?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Have Audio, but no videoHello Mark,
please use the video checker: https://foliovision.com/player/faq#properties-built-checker-report-playing
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Youtube ads can’t be clicked/closedHello Sean,
thank you for the bug report!
This is not the intended behavior. It seems to occur for YouTube videos below < 468 pixel width. Please upgrade to FV Player Pro 0.2.9 which was released just now.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Button with url at the end of the video?Hello Marek,
sorry about the delay, you need to use the popup function. We will improve its documentation, but the basics are here – put your HTML into the “HTML popup” field of the shortcode editor: https://foliovision.com/player/user-guide
If you don’t see it, make sure it’s enabled in Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Post Interface Options -> HTML popup.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Lightbox, Share buttons, Quality switchingHello Tim,
please post the video ID and URL on your website, so we can have a look. We won’t publish it here if you choose not to.
There is a chance that your video it only available in a single quality. I’ve seen some Vimeo videos like that.
Thanks,
MartinHello Bruno,
please let us know more about the issue.
What browser are you using? Are you logged in to the site?
I had no trouble with Safari 7.1 nor Chromium. The video plays and I’m able to pause/resume the playback, enter full screen and also close the lightbox.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
we will have a look at the CloudFront issues with Amazon S3 Frankfurt, perhaps we need to do similar update to the URL signature code.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: TranslationsHello Bruno,
thank you for the suggestion, I’ll make a note of that, so that we target these messages.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Bad Vimeo video names in Google AnalyticsHello Mike,
thank you for the bug report!
Please upgrade to FV Player Pro 0.2.7 – this was fixed. From now on the Vimeo videos will report as “Vimeo: {video name} ({video id})”.
That should cover your needs, please let us know how it works for you.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: TranslationsHello Bruno,
this is not currently supported by the core Flowplayer. However let us know which part you want to translate and we will have a look.
We should add it for the admin interface however.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
version 2.3.9 which fixes the Amazon S3 Frankfurt region issue has been released. Make sure you select the proper region for your bucket, this information is required.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Audio Player Skin not showing play buttonHello Richard,
the play button is not visible as your web server is serving the vector graphic with a wrong mime type.
You can put your SVG url http://richalmers.com/wp-content/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/css/controls.svg into http://web-sniffer.net/ to see that it’s served with “Content-Type” set to “text/xml”.
The correct mime type is “image/svg+xml”. You should be forwarding this request to your server technical support.
Also, the audio player was not responsive, but this will be fixed in the next release – hopefully today.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
I had a look at your test domain and it appears you are using an old license key.
You should be copying the license key from your live site or https://foliovision.com/edit
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
CloundFront makes sure your files are distributed with maximum speed across the globe, the S3 bucket location won’t matter.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
you should setup your CloudFront distribution for HTTP serving: https://foliovision.com/player/serving-private-cloudfront#cloudfront
Then you can use it to deliver the MP4 files (most important format) and WebM (second most important format). RTMP is just an extra if you don’t have your MP4 videos in the WebM format and want to server it better for users with Flash installed.
We are also close to fixing the Amazon S3 Frankfurt issue (AWS Signature Version 4).
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Audio Player Skin not showing play button9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
1) CloudFront can be used for both downloads (HTTP) and streaming (RTMP), so it will cover your needs.
If you encode your videos in MP4 (h264 codec) only, users of Firefox on Mac, Opera and other open-source browsers will play it using Flash. Flash doesn’t allow seeking in files served over HTTP, it requires RTMP to be able to seek. If you add your video also in WebM format, then these open-source browsers will play it fine without need of Flash.
In our AWS billing statement it says:
“$0.00 per GB data transfer out of US West (Oregon) to CloudFront”
So it appears the data served from S3 using CloudFront is only billed once it gets out of CloudFront to the public.
2) The license is valid for your domain and any of its subdomains. Your testdomain.our-domain.de will work.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
thank you for the details.
I had a look at the error message and indeed – Frankfurt region only supports AWS Signature Version 4. So we will have to include that mechanism in our plugin. We may need to add another field into configuration which would hold the information about which region is used.
As a quick fix, can you copy your bucket into Ireland and setup you site that way? Or alternatively you can just set up the CloudFront distribution as well. Then you would only need the CloudFront keys and it’s a CDN, so it’s fast across the globe: https://foliovision.com/player/serving-private-cloudfront
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHi Bruno,
Sorry, I missed that fact. Please post the logins to support@foliovision.com or use Lastpass for increased security with martinv@foliovision.com guide is here: https://foliovision.com/sharing-sensitive-information
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
If you purchase our pro support then I can have a look using your logins today.
Alternative is that we suggest more troubleshooting to you – such as setting up a new bucket to avoid any hidden mistakes.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 Frankfurt IssuesHello Bruno,
sorry about the delay here. What you describe is a weird issue.
If the videos play in your browser if you copy the URL, can you compare if you get the same URL in the page source HTML? The Signature may be different, but there should be no difference in % encoded characters or any blank space characters.
Thanks,
MartinHello Robert,
please upgrade to FV Player Pro 0.2.6 and that will fix the lightbox issue (thin line appearing instead of splash image).
Regarding the “Video not found” error – when loading your website, it sometimes takes a while to load or some HTTP request fail with HTTP 502 error. Are you sure your server is not overloaded?
Please let us know if we missed any other issue or if you have any other problem.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Audio Player Skin not showing play buttonHello Richard,
so it must be a plugin conflict. Could you please provide a full list of your plugins?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Audio Player Skin not showing play buttonHello Richard,
it appears that there is some plugin conflict or the skin CSS saving is not working.
1) Could you please try to re-save the plugin settings?
2) If the above doesn’t help, can you add this code into your theme functions.php file and see if it helps?
add_filter('fv_flowplayer_css_writeout', '__return_false');
Thanks,
MartinHello Anna,
please try Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults -> Prefer Flash player by default. If all of your videos are provided using RTMP, then everybody will need Flash, but the mobile video will still work for HTML5 only users (iPad, iPhone, Android…, users without Flash….)
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 signed URLs not workingHi nate,
could you please check the user in https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home -> Users?
Please click the user to get the details, then check if you use the right Access Key. Also the User Policies should include:
“s3:Get*”,
“s3:List*”and
“Effect”: “Allow”,
“Resource”: “*”Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Flash fallback not working in IE8Hello Nikola,
unfortunately your website doesn’t load for us. Perhaps adding html5.js will help? https://foliovision.com/player/installation#html5js
It works for us on our homepage: https://foliovision.com
Thanks
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Vimeo Channel SupportHello Steve,
unfortunately we haven’t made it for today, hopefully we can work on it next week, as then I’m leaving for a holiday until new year.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Logo Not ShowingHello Joe,
I’m glad it’s solved now.
Please let us know if there is anything else. We are working on some interesting new features now.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Logo Not ShowingHello Joe,
sorry about the inconvenience. I had a look and your license is on account with login andym and email mary.marks@sopheon.com.
Can you access that account, or should we merge it with your current account?
I had a look an I do see the logo here though: http://www.sopheon.com/mitigating-risk-high-tech-npdi/
Could you please let us know if you were able to solve the issue and what it was?
Thanks
Martin9 years ago in reply to: cloudfront streaming distributionHello Miguel,
I’m glad that we could be of assistance and that it finally works for you!
I think this is documented in https://foliovision.com/player/serving-private-cloudfront -> Summary – Practical example -> 4. The mapped domain has to be used it the video URL, I think that makes sense.
Please let us know if you see any way of simplifying this.
Please also double check that you are not using Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> “Amazon S3 Protected Content” for this.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: cloudfront streaming distributionHello Miguel,
could you please provide some of your post URLs (we don’t have to publish it if you choose not to), so that we can have a look?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: cloudfront streaming distributionHello Miguel,
did you installed your CloudFront just now? Perhaps it takes a while until the stats are available as it uses “day” as a basic unit. On our account can see these stats in https://console.aws.amazon.com -> CloudFront -> Usage.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Vimeo Channel SupportHello Steve,
if things go well, we should have a first demo by the end of this week. It’s hard to predict now that the end of the year is coming.
Thanks,
MartinHello Robert,
could you please check if you are not using some custom theme for the browser, or if the zoom level is set to 100%, or if there is any browser extension which could cause this?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Quality Switching issues in FirefoxHello David,
the Firefox video messages are fine, it basically tells you that Firefox won’t play MP4 in HTML5 mode. Firefox on OS X doesn’t support it.
Could you please check if the second video here plays for you and the quality switching works? https://foliovision.com/player/demos/flowplayer-quality-switching
The latest version of FV Player Pro is 0.2.3, are you not seeing the update?
Could you please send us your exact URL where we can see your issue?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Quality Switching issues in FirefoxHello Craig,
unfortunately this is not supported.
If you are a programmer, you can have a look at fv_wysiwyg_load() JS function – it should give you a good idea about how to initialize a second copy of the editor on some other field.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Problems with German PHP localeHello nigcra,
I think your PHP uses German localized decimal separators – “,” symbol instead of “.”. If it works with our dev vesion, then we have a solution, but it would be better to use setlocale().
Thanks,
MartinHello Anne,
please use the video checker and we will have a look at the video encoding, or perhaps it will detect the error for you: https://foliovision.com/player/faq#properties-built-checker-report-playing
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Problems with German PHP localeHello Nigcra,
are you sure you enabled FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults -> “Always use fixed size player”? It helped in our test environment.
The underlying problem appears to be your PHP – normally decimal numbers are using dot symbols, but in your case there is a coma symbol. This breaks our JavaScript.
Could you please check if our latest dev version fixes the problem for you? https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer-dev.zip
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Problems with German PHP localeHello Nigcra,
what about Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults -> “Always use fixed size player”?
Also what version did you upgraded from?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Problems with German PHP localeHello Anna,
the domain was updated, please check your account for get the license key.
The approach with the IP and tilda makes it much harder to launch the website as you have to replace a lot of URLs.
Our mobile video recommendations are here, perhaps the videos are bigger than 640×480: https://foliovision.com/player/encoding#mobile-video
M4V format may be not HTML5 compatible (depending on what stream codecs it uses), our video checker should detect these issue for you: https://foliovision.com/player/faq#properties-built-checker-report-playing
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: New Pro install not playing Vimeo videosHello Steve,
we will be adding a feature which will fetch the most recent videos from a Vimeo channel into a playlist (or a list of videos).
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: JavaScript ErrorHello TD,
in that case rtmp://s11.streamcp.com:5225 is the server address and 8211 should be the file path. So this should work:
[fvplayer rtmp="rtmp://s11.streamcp.com:5225" rtmp_path="8211"]
But it does not. Our video checker says that “Could not connect to s11.streamcp.com:5225” So I tried port 1935 (default for RTMP), meaning the server address was: rtmp://s11.streamcp.com:1934 Shortcode:
[fvplayer rtmp="rtmp://s11.streamcp.com:1935" rtmp_path="8074"]
Our video checker says it’s fine, but it still won’t play. Are you sure 8074 is correct? Shouldn’t it be something like my-video.mp4?
Or is this a live stream which is currently down?
Thanks
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Autoplay on mobileHello John,
it applies to any player using HTML5. Here’s what Apple says about it: “In Safari on iOS (for all devices, including iPad), where the user may be on a cellular network and be charged per data unit, preload and autoplay are disabled.” — https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/Using_HTML5_Audio_Video/Device-SpecificConsiderations/Device-SpecificConsiderations.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009523-CH5-SW1
It may work on some Android phones, as there is more discussion about it, for example here somebody found it doesn’t work in Android KitKat (4.4): https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63795
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Problems with German PHP localeHello Nigcra,
please check our troubleshooting guide here: https://foliovision.com/player/installation#fixing-broken-javascript
It “Check template” fails and shows nothing, could you please see if you find anything related to it in your PHP error log?
Thanks,
MartinHello Robert,
thank you for the bug report!
I’m not able to reproduce the issue in Chrome 39.0.2171.71 m on Windows 7. The only weird thing I’m noticing is that the source code view jumps to the end of the document.
Could you have a look at Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> Height of FCKEditor? We are using “30”, perhaps you have 0 or some other weird value in your configuration.
Thanks,
MartinHello Anna,
please let us now what domain you are using and we will change it in you license.
Our license key works for any subdomain, so if your new site is something.com, you can develop it on dev.something.com and our plugin will work.
Could you please let us know what problems with our plugin you are experiencing?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: JavaScript ErrorHello TD,
are you using RTMP? If so, then please check the advice on RTMP which I posted in my last message.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Autoplay on mobileHello John,
mobile devices don’t allow us to autoplay the video. This is due to the bandwidth limits of the mobile internet providers. The restrictions is hardwired to the browsers – user needs to click (touch to play) the video element before any script can work with it.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: JavaScript ErrorHello TD,
I had a look and quickly noticed there is a working player here: ‘http://oromoevangelicalchurchdc.com/wp/?page_id=527’
Are you still seeing the issue?
The file/RTMP stream in that player is not properly configured though. You should be entering server and file path separately. Check how RTMP is used here: https://foliovision.com/player/rtmp-streams
Our video checker should help you with any troubleshooting: https://foliovision.com/player/faq#properties-built-checker-report-playing
Thanks,
MartinHello Michael,
I see, so I think I finally understood that you don’t want any play icon on the image which opens the lightbox. So here’s an updated demo: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/flowplayer-lightbox-borders
You mention that our player adds some other things. Does that mean that in your desired lightbox view, there should be no video controls or share bar (can be disabled globally).
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Fix Media Library SearchHello Rob,
we have finally fixed this bug. It will be included in next version, released probably today.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: JavaScript ErrorHello TD,
could you please try the step 4. and let us know what exactly happens? https://foliovision.com/player/installation
If you see no output, can you check your PHP error logs for any clues?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: iPad iOS 8.1 issuesHello Mark,
FV Player Pro 0.2.2 was released and it fixed the quality switching issue with Vimeo videos on iDevices.
Thanks,
MartinHello Rehan,
please upgrade to FV Player Pro 0.2.2 which we released just now. It improved the preloading of Vimeo videos for mobile.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: How to insert embed iframe code?Hello Robert,
if the file is too big to be uploaded using WordPress, you can upload it using FTP and then entering the file path into the [fvplayer] shortcode.
I mentioned something about iframes in the Pro version, but it’s about providing embed codes for your videos which would use iframe – just like YouTube does.
Please let us know what you are trying to achieve, so we can point you the right direction.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: iPad iOS 8.1 issuesHello Mark,
thank you for your kind words. If there is a bug in our software, then of course we are happy to fix it.
Thank you for your input and bug report!
Martin
Hello Rehan,
we found that this may have occured if you had too much traffic from mobile devices. We have a beta version of the fix available which makes sure mobile devices only preload the Vimeo videos which are needed.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: iPad iOS 8.1 issuesHello Mark,
we are fixing these Vimeo quality switching issues. Biggest part of it is caused by the video itself – suddenly it’s available only in SD quality, so the HD and Mobile buttons should not appear at all.
Thanks,
MartinHello Rehan,
the video plays for us now, we will check what could cause a weird error like this.
Do you have any pages which show a lot of Vimeo videos at once?
Thanks,
MartinHello Rehan,
the video plays for us now, we will check what could cause a weird error like this.
Thanks,
MartinHello Debbie,
thank you for pointing out the mistake!
We fixed the bug and it will be a part of the next plugin release. If you need it right now, you can get the latest development version here: https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.dev.zip
Thanks,
MartinHello ultramatrix,
sorry to hear about your trouble. Which version did you upgraded from?
It looks like the plugin CSS is missing. Please try the following:
1) Re-save the plugin settings.
2) Re-install the plugin (don’t worry about de-activating and deleting it, nothing will get lost).
3) Add following code into your theme functions.php, then re-save the plugin settings:
add_filter('fv_flowplayer_css_writeout' '__return_false')
4) As a last resort, previous version can be obtained on the plugin WordPress.org page in Developers tab under “Other Versions”.
Thanks
MartinHello Mark,
with the Flash preference all of the users will get the correct colors and who has no Flash installed should be still able to play MP4 file (88% of people) and I think that the chance they get bad colors because of the Nvidia driver is pretty low.
Thank you for sharing the Nvidia details.
Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 actually says that your video is not supported by HTML5, same for any MP4 I tried. If Flash is installed, then it plays just fine (and I don’t have to set the Flash preference – tried it on a test site). On Windows XP it shows the same HTML5 error if Flash is not present. So it appears there is some other issue.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: YouTube pre-roll adHello Mandar,
FV Player Pro supports custom video ads: https://foliovision.com/player/video-roll-post
This is currently limited to self-hosted videos, but these ads will work in front of Vimeo videos as well. YouTube videos use a completely different engine, so if you would use a YouTube video as a custom video ad, you could only serve it in from of some other YouTube video.
We hope to overcome this limitation, but it may be possible only in next core version of Flowplayer which may allow switching of video engines.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: New Pro install not playing Vimeo videosHello Steve,
after further investigation we found out that your server doesn’t have cURL for PHP installed. You will ask your server technicians to install it and we will us WP HTTP class for better compatibility of our plugin.
Thanks,
MartinHello Michael,
here’s another attempt, please have a look at the “Simple image linking to the video” here: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/flowplayer-lightbox-borders
Is that it? I’m attaching a screenshot: https://foliovision.com/images/support/video-link-opened-in-chrome.png Is that what you are after?
That is not a lightbox however, but a barebones MP4 file opened in the browser. In case the browser doesn’t support the MP4 playback in HTML5 (probably any Linux browser, Firefox on Mac and old Windows, Opera), it would probably show a message to install a plugin to play the video or a download dialog.
So it’s not clear to me why do you want such feature. Are you perhaps using Amazon S3 signed URLs and do you want to generate these for your users for video download?
Please let us know.
Thanks,
MartinHello Michael,
when I click the top image/button my browser simply opens the MP4 file (the location bar URL changes to the MP4 file) and then you have to use the back button to go pack to the page. Although different browser may treat this differently.
So it’s not a lightbox, but a simple link to the video file. You can put up a link like that by just using HTML, no need for any plugin or any class attribute:
However if you need Amazon S3 signed URLs, then this won’t suffice and some plugin still needs to append the signature to the URL.
I also had a look at our plugin on that page. It appears that there is some CSS conflict and it doesn’t appear right. We will work on that. Or it might be because of your CSS minify.
Here’s a demo of what our video lightbox should look like: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/fv-flowplayer-lightbox
Here’s another demo in which we removed the lightbox styling – perhaps that’s what you are really after, could you please check? https://foliovision.com/player/demos/flowplayer-lightbox-borders
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: category name still in URLHello Tomas,
FV Top Level Categories allows you to get rid of the category prefix as described in the “What id does?” section here: https://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-top-level-categories
The advanced settings help in case that you have a multi-level category structure where posts end up with URLs like for example: /computers/windows/64-bit/post-name and you want it to show up as /computers/windows/post-name However it won’t allow you to get rid of the /computers part of the URL as that’s the parent category of the “windows” category.
Thanks,
MartinHello dayan,
I see the issue, however that’s how WordPress works. We didn’t wanted to bend the WordPress rules so much as what you are asking for.
For example if you have category “Mercedes” which is a subcategory of “Cars”, then the category has URL like /cars/mercedes. The category URL is determined by both the category slug and its parent category slug.
Our plugin is able to adjust this in case that you assign only the “Mercedes” category to the post, but you want it to show with /cars rather than /cars/mercedes. Same applies if you have another level of categories below Mercedes category. Normally WordPress picks the category with the lowest ID and that’s it.
So in your case, I see that you get /news/online-poker/post-name. Our plugin allows you to get /news/post-name but not /online-poker/post-name.
Thanks,
MartinHello dale55,
I tried to play it on our HTTPS website and it worked on an Android phone.
Could you please post the video on some test page, so we can check it right there?

Martin9 years ago in reply to: VPAID | Non-Linear adsHello Rehan,
FV Player VAST 0.2.9 was released, so you can use your non-linear ads now. If you don’t see the upgrade available in your WordPress, just refresh it a couple of times, or get the new version at https://foliovision.com/edit using your licensed account.
Mobile support is high on our list.
Thanks,
MartinHello Mark,
in IE you can try Tools –> Internet options -> Advanced, enable “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” and see if that helps.
I also checked this on some other computer (this time with Windows 8) and there is no color issue in neither Chrome nor IE. Both were using the HW acceleration and no problems were occurring.
Thanks
MartinHello Mark,
FV Flowplayer prefers HTML5 when the browser supports it for the video. You can try Settings -> FV Worpdress Flowplayer -> Sitewide Flowplayer Default -> “Prefer Flash player by default” and see if that helps with your color issues.
If it does, then I expect which may have something to do with your computer hardware. These browsers use the graphics card GPU processor to show the video, so perhaps there is something set badly in the drivers.
You can also try to disable the GPU acceleration of video in Chrome: chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode
Similar issue in Chrome is described here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=73234&q=html5%20video%20colors&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Pri%20Area%20Feature%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20Modified%20Owner%20Mstone%20OS
Here’s also one for Internet Explorer (occurring for ATI Catalyst Control Center driver): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25571577/html5-video-in-internet-explorer-renders-colors-incorrectly
Safari for Windows is old, outdated and no longer supported. We tested our videos on it and it worked. Are you using the latest available version of Apple Quick Time with it?

embed function is not currently supported for these kinds of videos. The way the embed function works allows it to only work with directly linked video files and not video services like Vimeo or YouTube.
Thanks,
MartinHello Mark,
I had a quick look at this in Windows 7 and I’m not noticing any color issue: https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-player-colors-chrome-ie-safari.png
Could you please point us to the exact scene where the issue is most visible?
There is a lot of variables, I should have a look at this in Windows 7 at home. Did you had Flash enabled when testing this?
Thanks,
MartinHello andrew55,
could you please try to re-save the plugin settings? That should help.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: VPAID | Non-Linear adsHello Rehan,
great, if it works now, we should release the new version.
The mobile support is on our list of things to do. Now that we support both HTML5 and Flash ads, with midroll configuration (not documented yet) and waterfall loading, it’s the right time to add this.
Mobile devices are tricky though, we can start with iPad and Android 4. iPhone (except for the latest one with iOS 8) and Android < 4 uses its built-in player to play the video, so I’m not sure if we can serve ads there yet.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Watterwall ad loading not workingHello songsrpeople,
I can see the following:
http://v.admedia.com/?id=your-ID&page_url=permalink&autoplay=LR_AUTOPLAY&content=post_id&title=post_title&video_id=post_id
Make sure you read this post in our forums, as the mail notifications seem to remove the [ and ] symbols. Check my last post to see what it should look like.
However even if I replaced all the URL tags properly, the ad appears to trigger some kind of endless loop. It happens even here https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/vastinspector_dual , so I supsect there is a problem with that specific ad unit and I recommend your report the issue to the ad provider.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Watterwall ad loading not workingHello songsrpeople,
so your VAST URL is like this (warning, I omitted the ?id= parameter to protect your privacy, you will have to put that one back in):
http://v.admedia.com/?id=YOUR_ID_HERE&page_url=[ENCODED_PAGE_URL]&autoplay=[0,1]&content=[CONTENT_CODE]&title=[VIDEO_TITLE]&video_id=[VIDEO_ID]
So [ENCODED_PAGE_URL] needs to be replaced with [permalink] and [0,1] with [LR_AUTOPLAY]. [CONTENT_CODE] could be replaced with [post_id], [VIDEO_TITLE] should be [post_title] and [VIDEO_ID] can be [post_id] as well.
That means it will become:
http://v.admedia.com/?id=YOUR_ID_HERE&page_url=[permalink]&autoplay=[LR_AUTOPLAY]&content=[post_id]&title=[post_title]&video_id=[post_id]
Thanks,

could you please try again? Just reload the page to see if it works now. Perhaps I forgot to increase the version to bust the cache. It works for me in the same browsers, Windows 7 and OS X 10.9.5.
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: Watterwall ad loading not workingHello songsrpeople,
I can see that the loading works, but the first ad gets stuck trying to load over and over again.
Please check my previous message in this thread. I wrote you exactly what needs to be done about that VAST ad URL, it’s number 3. in the list. Perhaps that will help.
Thanks,

please follow the illustrated guide here: https://foliovision.com/player/adding-ads

Martin9 years ago in reply to: Adding commercial breaksHi Jamie,
you can just add midroll=”0,3600″ to the shortcode to have the ad how up at the start and after 1 hour or midroll=”60,3600″ to have it show up after at 60 seconds and then at 1 hour.
We will add this into the shortcode editor. We are currently working on other improvements, so we can’t add it right away.
I see you use Vimeo direct media file links – you can our Vimeo integration if you want to protect the Vimeo videos against download: https://foliovision.com/player/how-to-use-vimeo-pro

Martin9 years ago in reply to: VPAID | Non-Linear adsHello Rehan,
non-linear ad not playing: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/vast-vpaid-ads#non-linear What browser are you using? Are you sure it doesn’t play? Perhaps it only takes a bit longer to buffer.
If the 15 seconds error only appears sparsely, it should be fine. If it appears all the time, then there must be a problem. Does it ever appear with the Google test VAST tag? http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?ad_type=video&client=ca-video-pub-4968145218643279&videoad_start_delay=0&description_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&max_ad_duration=40000&adtest=on
We will answer the licensing questions.
Thanks,
MartinHello Michael,
yes, that’s what it will look like.
However the output of the above will be the same as of the following:
[fvplayer src="video.mp4" splash="image.png" lightbox="true"]
Could you please confirm if that’s it? You said that it doesn’t reproduce the look which you need. Could you please write some more about that?
Thanks,
Martin9 years ago in reply to: New Pro install not playing Vimeo videosHello Steve,
could you please try if this works if you don’t use a playlist? Or if the playlist is smaller, like 2 items only.
Please let us know, we want to make this work for you.
Thanks,
Martin
