I managed to make it work, i had to put the pro licence again. Thanks

in the cname i had it pointed to the bucket, i changed that now to the cloudfront domain, now i get usage and logs but no videos work anymore.

I did everything to setup cloudfront but never got it to work.

It always says video file not found. If i put the link in the browser (cname/file.mp4) i get this:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<Error>
MissingKey
<Message>Missing Key-Pair-Id query parameter</Message>
</Error>

that seems correct, why no videos work anymore, i put all credentials, bucket, rmtp, cloudfront, i can’t figure out what is wrong, i never managed to get cloudfront to work, only s3 was working but never the distribution.

hi, actually i did this 3 months ago, i never got any stats, cloudfront in the monthly bills appears as 0, there’s no usage for it either, it’s as if it’s not used at all.

The last issue is with android controls, if i seek the video, the 3 dots appear and remain over the video all the time. If i go full screen, no controls work at all.

hi

now the only 2 problems i have are:

In firefox the audio is in slow motion. If i select force flash by default, then in firefox everything works fine but by doing that, the videos don’t work anymore in internet explorer and i can no longer seek the video in any browser, so it must be something to do with the player in order to have it work fine in firefox. In all other browsers it works fine.

You had mentioned that there was an issue due to the file protection in cloudfront.

The last issue is with android controls, if i seek the video, the 3 dots appear and remain over the video all the time. If i go full screen, no controls work at all.

I only have those 2 issues.

thanks

Miguel

hi,

another fix was for the Android platform. There’s 2 bugs in the player:

1. When you play and then you seek, the 3 dots stay on the video while it plays.

2. When you go full screen, no controls are available, you cannot play/pause or seek the video.

I tested with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 tablet.

Thanks

Miguel

Thanks,

in the future i will encode the new videos with handbrake and your recommended settings. Right now all have AAC audio but the rates are different. So the standard audio for all formats mobile, sd, hd should always be 44.100Hz?

Thanks for the rmtp fix, that will then allow to seek the videos, right?

Miguel

hi,

thanks, setting it to flash by default fixed the audio issue. Only thing is that i cannot seek the video anymore unless the bit has loaded. Is that normal?

ok,

this is the url: ‘www.r….tv/ondemand’
You can login with this account so you can see the videos:

user: demo, password: r….4

thanks

hi,

could you tell me where do i use this: .flowplayer ul.fv-player-quality li a { width: 80px }

to change the size of the quality buttons so the text inside them doesn’t come out. Thanks

here’s a round up list of all issues i have:

Firefox: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/firefox-issues-with-quality-switching

Chrome issues: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/google-chrome-video-artifacts

Safari: no video works, it stays in the splash image, the video plays, you can hear the sound right and the progress bar works but the video stays on the splash image and if i remove the splash, it stays on a black screen. If i click the quality switch, i can see for a second the image of the actual video before it goes back to the splash again. Note that before i got the pro version of your plugin, safari was working.

Android: https://foliovision.com/support/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/troubleshooting/android-loading-issues-with-quality-switching#post-3928

I tested with Jw player as well as the old flowplayer and media element, and those issues didn’t happen.
The reason none of those players were ok for me was the file protection, cdn, fast forwarding and other features that were not there in the wordpress plugins.

I cannot re-encode the files as there are 1500 of them. Besides they were encoded specifically for the web using CARBON CODER, a professional encoder.

just an update, those artifacts show a lot on chrome, but in safari and firefox that doesn’t happen.

hi,

i tested the clips, they work on safari, except it’s not possible to seek through the video unless in the loaded bits. In android, your videos have the sam problem with the 3 dots constantly on the screen even though the video is playing.

hi,

i tried those clips with the basic jw player for wordpress as well as media element and both worked fine accross all browsers, android and ios. That was using standard unprotected S3 storage and a single clip.

i kept only 2 profiles. it works in chrome and firefox. In Android the loading dots stay always on, in safari, it doesn’t work, it stays on the splash image.

basically quality switching works in chrome, except the 1500k clip gets cut around the edges. The playback performance is still not so great even though it’s in cloudfront. If i remove ‘flash player by default’ it won’t work in safari, and if i tick it, it won’t work in firefox and chrome. I’m using the Cname url in the video, i tried to use the cloudfront one but it doesn’t work for some reason.

hi,

i upgraded but it didn’t make a difference. The problem is strange, mobile and hd video play normal full screen, but the sd one is cut around the edges and you can see the splash image behind it. In safari, the video seems to start, the progressing bar but the screen stays on the splash image, it doesn’t show the video even though the progress bar is progressing.

Hi,

for the cloudfront, i put restrict bucket access in the settings to avoid people downloading, the link i use is like this: https://d2a0xxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/xxxxx_2500K.mp4

It won’t work. If i copy and paste the link in the browser, it shows me this: <Error>
MissingKey
<Message>Missing Key-Pair-Id query parameter</Message>
</Error>

i forgot to mention, i managed to open the rsa key, it’s a long one and pasted it in the flow player cloud field for that.

hi,

i bought your licenced player and i have a few issues in setting up cloudfront.

I have the cloudfront, entered it in the global configurations, the secret key i can find where that is. I got a key pair when i set it up but they are .pem files i can’t open.

Then for video quality switching, i have my files uploaded like this: filename_500k.mp4, filename_1500K.mp4, filename_2500K.mp4. I’m not sure how to set it up mobile, sd, hd using those labels?

For the rmtp path i just entered the file name in the bucket?

I’m trying to get cloudfront to work, i created a web and rmtp distributions following your guides. Obviously i’m missing the above details in order to make it work. Thanks. Miguel

hi,

thanks for the reply. Can you send me the invoice so i will make the bank transfer today and send you the receipt so i can get started.

I currently have an amazon s3 account with mp4 videos in 500k, 1500k and 2500k hosted there. I’m using wordpress and your free fv plugin. With this setup on chrome and all browsers, it won’t let me seek the video apart from the bit it has loaded. I don’t know if by switching to a cloud distribution will change that.

Miguel
