2 years ago in reply to: The button to renew The FV Player Vimeo Security does not appear.

Martin

Hello Lana,

We were meaning to post this to the FV Player Vimeo Security users for couple of months now:

Videos uploaded to Vimeo after July 2022 use new streaming formats which do not allow us to protect Vimeo videos from all downloaders. When FV Player Vimeo Security is fully configured, including alternative allowed domain, five out of six download methods tested today (3 May 2023) still failed. But with some tools you could download the MP4 files.

Even after a successful download, video and audio must be put back together as one MP$ would be video and the other audio. As Vimeo Protection is no longer bulletproof, we have removed Vimeo Advanced Security from sale.

To protect your videos from download, please use FV Player Coconut which let you encrypt your videos.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Meir,

Please try to append #.mp3 at the end of the URL, like this:
```
https://vz-aeb84cfc-fe8.b-cdn.net/d2cf4145-76d9-4e85-b03d-4b40e542394c/original#.mp3
```
It’s not ideal, seems like it would be best if we would detect the file type. It could work that way when storing in FV Player database.

Thanks,
Martin

Martin

Hello Bruno,

There was no change in the database structure.

Are you looking to move all of your videos to another website which has no FV Player videos on it, or would you like to import many videos into a website which does have FV Player videos in database already?

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3 browser integration not working

Martin

Hello Michael,

Sorry about the huge delay in our response here, somehow your ticket has ended up not answered.

FV Player includes the AWS SDK for PHP to be able to list the content of Amazon S3 buckets. It’s the biggest component of FV Player.

Please try to browse your AWS S3 bucket in FV Player again and then check if anything new appeared in the PHP error log. If you are not sure about how to check the PHP error log, the server technical support should be able to give you a hand.

Or you can install this plugin which makes a list of these errors available in wp-admin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/error-log-monitor/

Then try to browse your AWS S3 bucket in FV Player once again and the error should be recorded in these logs.

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: Coconut – diacritics, bitrate and video codecs

Martin

Hello Łukasz,

I tried to encode a video with that same word and while Coconut managed to process the video thumbnails and upload them to the storage it would fail to upload the encoded video. I’m in touch with Coconut support regarding that.

Please let us know what’s your goal with different bitrates and codecs. It can get very technical. Perhaps your videos do not show a lot of movement and would look just at good on lower bitrate. Or maybe they feature a lot of action and it’s not enough.

Problem with VP9 is that it won’t work on Safari and on opposite H265 only really works in Safari. So we would have to create twice as many video files to cover all the browsers.

Thanks,
Martin

Martin

Hello Walter,

Here are our notes for WP Rocket usage: https://foliovision.com/player/developers/player-minify-plugins#wprocket

It does not mention anything about WP Rocket’s “Load JavaScript deferred” as we are using that one too and we are not noticing any issues.

My recommendation would be to remove FV Player scripts from “Excluded JavaScript Files” first and see it that won’t help.

Martin

Hello Taco,

Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.

 Then switch to the Beta release using the steps from here if you are not already using it: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta 

Then the issue should be fixed. If it won’t help, please let us know what’s set in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Hosting -> Cloudflare Stream.

Martin

Hello Łukasz,

I’m not sure what could be causing this error. My guess was it could be caused by the “śladu” word in your folder name. But I tried to use that same folder name and it worked without issues.

Are you running into that issue if you avoid using any letters with diacritic?

Are you able to browse to your file on https://cloud.digitalocean.com/ -> Spaces and then click on the three dots next to it and pick “Download”?

Hello Walter,

I see you are using Bunny CDN. It seems you CDN zone does not have “Enable Token Authentication” enabled in https://panel.bunny.net -> Pull Zones -> (pick your zone) -> Security -> Token Authentication.

But then you have it configured in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Hosting -> Bunny CDN. In that case “Enable Token Authentication” should be also enabled on https://panel.bunny.net

Please let us know if that won’t fix the issue for you.

Martin

I should add that your code worked nicely, thank you for the contribution!

We just had to make sure it’s also considered for the transcript caching.

In FV Player 8 we will load localy stored transcript (on the same server as the website) directly, no caching will be involved.

Hello Dana,

Thank you for letting us know about the issue.

Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.

 Then switch to the Beta release using the steps from here if you are not already using it: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta 

That will give you the FV Player Pro plugin with the fix. It might take up to 20 minutes before you see the new transcript content though.

Hello Bruno,

I replied on your email, please continue there.

Martin
2 years ago in reply to: Error message on enrypted videos : hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded
Martin

Hello Bruno,

We are happy to help you resolve the issue right on your website, we offer the paid service for hands-on support: https://foliovision.com/pro-support

If you have a backup of your website, you can run this query using a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/sql-executioner/
```
DROP TABLE `wp_fv_fp_hls_access_tokens`
```
That will remove the table. I advise strongly to remove that plugin once it’s no longer needed.

We always try to make our plugin better and more resilient. I checked if WordPress has a way of fixing its tables and it does. But it only supports its own tables and cannot check a table of any plugin. And it’s not fully automated, you have to edit wp-config.php, so it’s not so easy.

But I added some code to let FV Player use that WordPress feature. I know that just repairing the table did not solve the issue for you, but it’s a good addition.

Thanks,
Martin
2 years ago in reply to: Error message on enrypted videos : hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded

Martin

Hello Bruno,

That’s weird as it keeps saying that it’s corrupted.

Please try to remove that table using your database management tool. If you have any kind of a control panel running on your web host there should be a way of listing the database tables and removing wp_fv_fp_hls_access_tokens.

If you are not sure, you can ask your web host support.

I wonder if WordPress includes any code to auto-repair its tables these days. We should follow the same procedures with FV Player.

Thanks,
Martin
2 years ago in reply to: Error message on enrypted videos : hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded
Martin

Hello Bruno,

Now the log shows the following:

Table ‘./engorged_wp/wp_fv_fp_hls_access_tokens’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired

So it seems that your server has crashed and it affected one of the FV Player tables. This could happen to any table, including the basic WordPress tables like wp_options, in that case your website would not load at all.

Please run the following SQL command on your database:
```
REPAIR TABLE wp_fv_fp_hls_access_tokens;
```
That will fix the issue. If you are not sure about how it’s done please ask your web server support or you can try to use this plugin to repair your database: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-database-repair/ I checked that plugin code an it seems good.

Thanks,
Martin
2 years ago in reply to: Error message on enrypted videos : hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded
Martin

Hello Bruno,

Please reinstall using the same steps again, I added some code to log why it fails to re-create that table or why the database insert fails. No need to test the Release version, these improvements are in Beta only.

If possible try to execute this SQL query on your database:
```
CREATE TABLE `wp_fv_fp_hls_access_tokens` (
  `id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `url` varchar(1024) NOT NULL,
  `client` varchar(1024) NOT NULL,
  `cookie` varchar(1024) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `url` (`url`(768)),
  KEY `client` (`client`(768))
);
```
Will that work or will you get any error?

Hello Bruno,

 Then switch to the Beta release using the steps from here if you are not already using it: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta 

Finally you will be able to enable wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Pro Features -> Debug -> Verbose.

Please let us know what filename it logs into (you can find out by clicking the three dots in the option description), it should be something like:

/home/website/public_html/fv-player-debug-abcdefdcf03634a4f3318e6d1d99042d.log

Then we can try to play your test video and see what shows in the log to figure out what’s failing.

2 years ago in reply to: Amazon S3: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature

Martin

Hello Sherri and Stickywerks,

Please let us know what is one of your video URLs that runs into the issue.

We found that the comma symbol causes problems, but it never worked, not even in 7.5.29.7210. So we fixed that and the new version for test can be found here: https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.zip

But it seems to me that you perhaps only see this issue when using the Video Checker: https://foliovision.com/player/troubleshooting/how-to-use-video-checker

So we will fix that as it’s very bad to get false alarms.

Thanks,
Martin

As a temporary workaround you can use this PHP code to permit the encrypted HLS playback if the IP or URL does not match:
```
add_filter( 'fv_player_pro_secure_hls_key_send', '__return_true' );
```
You can put that to your theme functions.php file.

Thanks,
Martin
2 years ago in reply to: Error message on enrypted videos : hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded

Martin

Hello Bruno,

Thank you for these details, I can see that the issue is not with Bunny CDN nor DigitalOcean Spaces.

Somehow the encrypted playback is not allowed.

Did you make any changes to the files stored on DigitalOcean Spaces, including renaming any of them?

Were there any changes to the web server configuration, like adding a web application firewall like Cloudflare or a proxy?

I’m asking as the user IP address playing the video and requesting the decryption key seems to not match.

Please open YOUR-SITE.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fvplayer&debug and go to the “Tools” tab where you will find “Encrypted HLS tokens”.

Then play your test video and refresh that above page and see if anything new appears in that “Encrypted HLS tokens” table. Will you see your real IP address and will the “Url” match the video which you are trying to play?

Thanks

Hello Bruno,

Please let us know what do you use to host your videos.

If it’s Bunny CDN pulling videos from DigitalOcean Spaces, then does Bunny CDN in the S3 Authentication settings still use valid keys from DigitalOcean Spaces?

Are you sure there were no changes?

Is the issue only with Safari?

Are you on latest FV Player (the base free plugin) too?

Hello Sheri,

As I was mentioning I was not able to reproduce this issue.

Please send over the exact video URL on S3 which you are using. Then we can add similar URL on one of our buckets to our automated test suite and avoid further issues with it – there might be an issue with some special character.

You can also check if enabling S3 Ajax in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Hosting -> Amazon S3 Protected Content will fix the issue.

Hello Alecos,

I tested with Chrome on Android 13 and the audio would continue playing even though mobile screen turned off after a while.

If it’s a video, then it won’t go turn off the screen, so nothing stops the video.

If you lock the phone on purpose and the screen turns of, I can then continue playing the video on the lock screen. I was testing with Safari on iPhone with iOS 15.7 and with Chrome on Android 13.

I tested the HLS audio too and it would not stop. Please let us know what mobile and what browser did you use with what operating system.

Hello Mike,

We started to work on this some time ago, but then we felt like it should be simplified.

On that link you can see that an annotation has the following properties:
- Start
- End
- Text
- URL
- Left or Right position
- Light or Dark color
It seems that’s all you might need.

2 years ago in reply to: How to Reduce the FV content in User File

Martin

Hello Andy,

We will copy these FV Player video positions from usermeta to the new table. This conversion routine took 1 hour on one of the big video websites where we were testing this new feature. It would free almost 1GB of space in the wp_usermeta table as there are tens of thousands users.

If you did some CSV export for a database tool then I guess that’s what added that meta_key_ part to these column headings. In that case the actual meta_key was likely just _fv_wp_flowplayer_saw_59 – which belongs to FV Player and will be moved in that conversion routine in FV Player 8.

Hello Gillian,

Any cache plugin needs to be purged when you change global plugin settings or if you update a plugin, as long as the plugin does anything int the front-end.

We are using WP Rocket and find that putting all the JavaScript into one file no longer provides any benefits. Google PageSpeed algorithm actually checks how much JavaScript runs on the website and not just how much is downloaded.

Hello Andy,

Following wp_usermeta rows belong to FV Player – the meta_key must be one of:

- fv_wp_flowplayerposition*
- fv_wp_flowplayersaw*
- fv_wp_flowplayer_topposition*
These will be moved to a new database table in FV Player 8. That will reduce the number of database data moved around, specially if you allow your users to post comments on the articles.

2 years ago in reply to: How to Reduce the FV content in User File

Martin

Hello Andy,

What you pasted does not belong to FV Player.

However you are right that the FV Player user video position is stored in wp_usermeta table and that it can grow over time.

That’s why in FV Player 8 we will convert these entries to a custom database table. We have build that conversion routine and we are testing FV Player 8 on our video websites to make sure it’s ready for public release.

It’s a new FV Player version with the latest HLS.js library included. It should fix that Safari issue.

Please be careful to purge the Siteground Optimizer cache as well. The JavaScript files have changed and you must purge that cache to ensure you get the updated scripts. Perhaps Sitegroud Optimizer does that automatically, but I thought I will mention this.

2 years ago in reply to: Add Video Amazon S3 folder

Martin

Hello Michael,

It seems that some other plugin loads a differnet version of AWS SDK or Guzzle HTTP library. In FV Player we only load these when needed – when using that Amazon S3 browser, I wish other plugin authors would also only load these libraries when they are using it in the code.

I will check if we need to update these libraries in our plugin.

On your end, could you please check if you are using ElementsKit Pro? Somebody reported a problem with that plugin in January, it used an older versions of these libraries: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/bug-reports/guzzlehttp-conflicts-with-elementskit-pro-again#post-182156

Previously I said I’m not running into that issue on Safari 16.3 on macOS 11.6.1.

It’s not easy to troubleshoot as we are not having such issue on our test videos: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/encrypted-hls-stream

Could you please try without the Siteground website optimizer? It puts all your scripts into a single file and I wonder if that could somehow cause this on that new Safari version.

While the MP4 format does support multiple audio tracks, the web browsers do not support that.

The only compatible way of serving video with multiple audio tracks are the HLS streams.

FV Player Coconut does not have a video re-encode feature, at least not yet. One of the issues is that once the video is re-encoded it had to be purged from the CDN to make sure users actually get the new files.

The individual jobs can be removed in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Coconut Jobs, but the player needs to be removed first and the video files have to be removed manually.

Hello John,

In case of video files hosted on AWS S3 the client software to be updated are the web browsers used by your website visitors.

However TLS 1.2 is supported by practically the browsers.

Can I Use” is a good resource for these kinds of issues and it indicates that for example only Internet Explorer before version 11 or Android below version 4.4.4 does not support TLS 1.2: https://caniuse.com/?search=tls%201.2

You can hit “Usage relative” on that page to see how many users are still using these browsers and operating systems – it’s basically 0%.

Hello Dimitrii,

Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.

 Then switch to the Beta release using the steps from here if you are not already using it: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta 

That will give you the FV Player Pro plugin with the the new “Encrypted Playback for 3rd Party Domains (Pro)” tool available in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Tools.

Hello Dilan,

Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.

That will give you the FV Player Pro plugin with the fix.

Then you can use this JavaScript code to make sure the AB loop bar is enabled anytime somebody starts playing a video: https://foliovision.com/player/developers/javascript-guide#ab-loop-example

Martin

Hello Zach,

I see that we only check first 4 MB of a video file to determine its duration. We increased the limit to 8 MB now, so it should analyze your videos properly.

Could you please reinstall FV Player from this link? https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.zip Then the missing durations should appear in a day or so – the background checker will notice these videos have no duration stored and add them in.

Thanks,

2 years ago in reply to: in mobile – playing from vimeo leads to Breaks and small jumps in the transmissi

Martin

Hello Meir,

I tried on iPhone with iOS 16.5 and Safari and haven’t noticed any issues. I played the video for 3 minutes.

However I run into that exact issue on Android 13 with latest Chrome. It stopped playing after 12 seconds. Once I reloaded it played just fine.

Please uncheck “Disable MPEG-DASH” in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Hosting -> Vimeo (Pro). When that setting is enabled Android will play the HLS stream which does not have a great support on Android. Unless HLS.js library is loaded, so perhaps we should do that for Android phones when MPEG-DASH is not there.

Thanks,
Martin

Martin

Hello Tailoong,

I found the player was covered by the ad element even if the ad was already closed. The bug occurred as we were trying to make some space for the AB loop in fullscreen.

Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.

That will give you the FV Player Pro plugin with the fix.

If you are using any CDN or CSS optimization plugin please purge these as well.

Thanks,
Martin

Martin

Hello Zach,

It could happen if FV Player fails to detect the duration of your videos.

Please provide the export of your playlist, here’s how it’s done: https://foliovision.com/player/tools/importing-exporting-players

Then I can check if the duration check fails for any particular reason.

2 years ago in reply to: FFmpeg for video conversion , not third party, but on website itself.

Martin

Hello Vincenzo,

Using FFmpeg on the server directly could work, but it’s not a common library that would be installed on many servers.

If you are not publishing too many videos and your readers are close to your server it might work fine. Otherwise you need at least the CDN to make sure the video is fast to stream regardless of the user location.

That’s why we created FV Player Coconut with the setup wizard to let users get powerful video encoding, storage and distribution without having to configure it all the hard way.

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: Make my video most secure

Martin

Hello Mustafa,

The HLS encryption supported by Coconut is AES-128.

While AES-256 is a more powerful encryption, the video protection is only as strong as the weakest component. Which is the decryption key distribution mechanism. FV Player Pro already improves that over the standard encrypted HLS.

Thanks,
Martin

please let us know what FV Player Pro features are you using on that video as I was still not able to reproduce the issue – this double-tap seeking works for me with FV Player Pro too. I was also using the DRM text to see if that could be causing the issue, but it worked.

You can send a link to your test page too,

Hello Mark,

so currently the live stream is not live anymore, it just shows a short video with a message that the stream is offline. But at least I can see that without issues on iPhone with iOS 15.7 and also on iOS 16.5. I tried with both Safari and Chrome.

Please let us know when do you plan to run another live stream or if you could run some test live stream.

Martin

Hello Tailoong,

in FV Player double tapping the video on the left or right side seeks forward or rewinds the video by 10 seconds when using mobile. So I guess that’s what you mean.

Please let us know what FV Player Pro features are you using on that video as I was not able to reproduce the issue – this double-tap seeking works for me with FV Player Pro too.

You can send a link to your test page too,

2 years ago in reply to: Moved to a new domain. HLS videos still pointing to the old one.

Martin

Hello Dimitri,

We are thinking about letting FV Player Pro accept the encrypted HLS streams from and of your licensed domains. If we allow any random domain it could potentially be exploited to lower the video protection.

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: Moved to a new domain. HLS videos still pointing to the old one.

Martin

Hello Dimitri,

re-encoding would be the last option.

As I was mentioning something could be done about this using PHP code, so we will discuss if our plugin could make these website migrations easier.

Please let us know how did you fix these issues when you have a minute.

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: Moved to a new domain. HLS videos still pointing to the old one.

Martin

Hello Dimitri,

please let us know what was your domain name before and after. Did it change completely? For the HLS decryption key we allow sub-domains to get the key but if the domain was changed completely it won’t work.

However you did mention you updated the m3u8 files – did you really do that with the files stored on DigitalOcean Spaces? It could also be adjusted with a WordPress filter fv_player_drm_stream_loader_output in PHP.

Thanks,
Martin
2 years ago in reply to: Player on ISO only loads audio of livestream
Martin

Hello Mark,

I wonder if FV Player fails to detect that the stream is live. Could you please provide the streaming URL and let us know when it will be live again?

Or will adding live=”true” to the shortcode fix the issue? You can try like this (1 is your player ID for the live stream):
```
[fvplayer id="1" live="true"]
```

Martin

Hello Gregory,

it says the cURL library is missing in your PHP. It’s required by the Coconut PHP library.

Please ask your web hosting support to add that PHP library for you, it’s very common and only missing in rare cases. So it shouldn’t be a problem to add it.

Thanks,

Hello Mark,

the issue which I’m noticing is that your video are not optimized for web. I tried on iPhone 16.4.1 and the video wouldn’t start even if I opened it in the browser directly.

I tested with Delft_01-06-2023.mp4

It’s a 12 hour long video, so I’ll check if that might be causing some issue on iPhones.

2 years ago in reply to: Stage enviroment: hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded

Martin

Hello Gregory,

is your development website really a sub-domain of your live website, like that dev.domain.com is a sub-domain to domain.com? If both use the same “domain.com”, then it should work.

Like I said the staging domain should be a sub-domain of your live domain to play these encrypted HLS streams.

If that’s not the case, please send a link to your staging website where we can see a video (not) playing.

This seems needlessly complex but we are protecting the videos. If we can make some adjustments to make operating a staging website easier we will – like we did with these staging website subdomains being allowed to play these videos.

If you get a HTTP 500 code anywhere the please check if anything new appeared in the PHP error log. If you are not sure about how to check the PHP error log, the server technical support should be able to give you a hand.

Or you can install this plugin which makes a list of these errors available in wp-admin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/error-log-monitor/

Then try to reproduce the error again and it should be recorded in these logs.

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: Stage enviroment: hlsjs-lite video not properly encoded

Martin

Hello Gregory,

the encrypted HLS streams are set to play on your website domain only. However if you staging domain is a sub-domain of your live domain it should play.

If that’s not the case, please send a link to your staging website where we can see a video (not) playing.

I see you setup the staging website license for your FV Player Coconut, you should be able to enter that in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Coconut Jobs -> Settings – even without running the setup wizard again.

Martin

Hello Meir,

It makes sense – if you only load the CSS for which the markup is in the page HTML code the FV Player styling once the video starts will be missing. The control bar will not work and so on.

WP Rocket offers similar optimization and FV Player tells it to skip its CSS files as such optimization is not going to work.

Hello Meir,

could you please reinstall FV Player from this link? https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.zip

Then it should work. The WP Rocket “Delay JavaScript execution” will take priority over FV Player’s “Optimize FV Flowplayer JS loading” and you do not need to exclude anything.

Thanks,
Martin

2 years ago in reply to: how to delay wprocket js execution

Martin

Hello Meir,

with the “Optimize FV Flowplayer JS loading” setting of FV Player the WP Rocket settings should no longer apply as FV Player will already load its scripts only on the first user interaction with the page: https://foliovision.com/player/settings/optimize-javascript-loading

If it does not seem to work then please make sure https://meirtv.com/wp-content/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/flowplayer/modules/flowplayer.min.js is excluded from WP Rocket optimizations.
