now my FV Player Pro is 0.8.26

And just now FV Player Pro just updated to 0.8.25

WP- 4.8
FV Player 6.2.5
FV Player Pro 0.8.24

So did you guys remove or alter the quality switching buttons that appear with this latest update?

Hey Martin … (sorry massive PC crash due to a windows 10 pro update gone horribly wrong – omit)

you mentioned earlier that with my current setup my HLS is dominating my RTMP streams on my player and that I should’t even have them in the player. I initially wanted the RTMP for its security, Is there any situation where a viewer would be served my RTMP stream over my HLS? I saw something from you guys .. email or blog post etc. that you were working on some kind of HLS secure stream for the players is there a link that I can read more on it or do you know when its coming out.

Thanks
Steve

Hey Martin … sorry was waiting for an email notification about this thread post, ah I wasn’t logging in when replying… My encodings are as follows but they do turn out slightly different after handbrake get through with them

Full HD 1920×1080 4000kbps
HD 1280×720 3000kbps
SD 640×368 1000kbps (i know SD is really 720×400)
Mobile 480×270 600kbps
Mobile 320×180 500kbps (this was my older mobile streams I’ve started the new ones at the above settings.

I thought I was using HLS properly and they switch automatically, I could tell my phone was playing the mobile and on my PC Full HD (I have the fastest internet possible and fast PC) but only by judging the full screen resolution. Please tell me how to include all the qualities in one stream.

I am also attaching a cap of my player view when I fill in the streams I am assuming you wont post the image

I also got an email that mentioned you are working on a secure HLS system .. Im curious

Hey Martin … I did the msg is here on the thread it says (2 weeks ago) and starts with this:

Hey Martin … sorry for the delay! Here is a page my player is set up for Q.S. on
…

those 3 dots are where I had the link to the page the video is on and in your response below it you say

“It’s actually ignoring the RTMP streams even now on your website.”

I assume you had looked at the actual page

Hey Martin…
For you to check it yourselves do you mean compare a player with my new setup vs my old setup without the QS tags or setup and my old filenames? I can make a page with both. All I know is everyone on their phone had problems playing the video before as it was using a full hd 1920×1080 4k bitrate version my new setup still does but it has the QS setup and now they play perfect on all 5 phones tested and you can tell on larger screen phone when full screen and turned sideways it was the mobile version playing because our mobile was 320×180 500br although I have just changed to 480×270 600br for my mobiles

Hey Martin I believe I got it to work my main stream which was our
Q.Switching stream is an HLS stream just so you know.
my files were named for example:

file_1920x1080-fullhd
file_1280x720-hd
file_720x400-sd
file_320x180-mobile

I set naming scheme: -fullhd, -hd, -sd, -mobile and labels FULL HD, HD,
SD, MOBILE
After checking the Q.S. box and clicking the hint it said my file
matched and to make sure
the other files we available in the same place:

file_1920x1080-fullhd
file_1920x1080-hd
file_1920x1080-sd
file_1920x1080-mobile

that’s when I realized it was needing the file name to be exact matches
except for the naming scheme
which makes sense. so I renamed all the files to just file-fullhd,
file-hd, file-sd, file-mobile
obviously the file name and CDN string is much longer but I can`t put
those paths up here but you get the point

Now the only thing is HLS streams are automatically switched so I see no
buttons to change the quality but it looks like
the mobile version kicks in on my phone and plays smooth as the main
version is set to 1920×1080 bitrate 4000 which is too much for
a Samsung S4 to handle. My business partner just checked his phone with
Google Chrome and it plays smooth so the HLS quality switching works
as it never played smooth at all before

My CDN offers HLS, RTMP, and RSTP streams
I have the HLS as the main up at the top and the RTMP path added but no
RTSP I have just started noticing that
it plays fine in:
Google chrome in both desktop and mobile
Firefox desktop fine but mobile I get (html5: unsupported video format.
try installing adobe flash)
Opera desktop fine and mobile fine
Internet explorer desktop after I press play it just goes black nothing
happens at all
and the mobile internet browser that comes on all phones that has the
blue planet as the icon I get (html5: unsupported video format. try
installing adobe flash)

I dont want to post the URL here because of the nature of our content
can you give me your email direct or email me directly so I can send
screen caps of how I
have the streams setup plus give you the urls so you can have a look.

Thanks
Steve

PS. I had to revert back to a site backup because of another plugin
again I then updated the FV-player-pro I see there is now an update to
the regular fv-player I have
Version 6.0.5.1 should I update to version 6.0.5.3 does that affect my
pro version at all?

Ok thanks .. I will take a look what the dates are inside those
folders… I also just noticed in my plgins section there is a new
FV-pro update
0.7.22 from 0.7.21 is this correct and can I just update by the link:
There is a new version of FV Player Pro available. View version 0.7.22
details or update now.
or should I go back into my client area and download the new version?

Thanks
Steve

OK thanks Martin. I was using the wrong email that I had notes for…. I
didn’t realize I was responding to this thread and not a strait email to
you.

So I went into licenses and downloaded the extension FV flow player
pro right? that’s the newest one? So just to be sure as I have had a
nightmare with another plugin recently… I want to unzip the plugin and
FTP the FV pro folder to my plugins directory right? Cause remember I
have 2 plugins in my WP plugins area the regular and the pro. Can I
delete the regular one? Or do I need it as a base for the pro to work?

Also Can you send me a direct email to my contact@ my site email. I
have some questions about some work I might need you to do if you can
…. thanks

Steve

Hey so I logged in and I can’t find the download only to buy a license which I already did. where exactly is the downlaod link if I already have the license? Thanks Steve

Hey I wanted to give an update as I know you are in Europe and prob haven’t received my first email yet. I updated the plugin and got the mobile version to
work … it gives a text under the player saying something “like mobile device detected serving lower bandwidth version click here for higher quality” which works as
I used a version that was slightly different in color and was not in cinemascope and that was the version it served for my phone.

I am still getting this dashboard warning “FV WordPress Flowplayer: Your pro extension is installed, but it’s not compatible with FV Flowplayer 6! Make sure you upgrade your FV Player Pro to version 0.5 or above.” I use W3tc cache plugin but emptied the cache and its still there… after updating I got some sort of license update box appear and I clicked auto update instead of manual update just so you know. My plan is to use full quality switching but still not sure about the file naming as per my first email which is below the line so you don’t have to go back …. thanks
