OK thanks for that. Will try it with a new video. The Premium encoding has the option to choose MP4 or VP9, or both… I might try it first with just the MP4 option.
Many thanks for the feedback.

OK thanks Martin, will give that a try.
Hi Martin,
OK thanks for letting me know the casting still works. I’ll leave FV player set to release then.
The issue with the control bar was that in the beta it wasn’t showing up. I could click the video and it would play but I didn’t see any controls.
I might leave the CDN token turned off, and just use the view token. I noticed having both turned on slowed it down quite a bit.
Our website is a members platform, so what I want is to prevent members to be able to download the videos and share them outside the memberships, but with the domain restriction I’m pretty happy with the security so far.
Thanks for all your help, Martin.
Hi Martin, ok thanks for letting me know. I was trying to ‘chrome cast’ from my chrome browser on my iphone to my imac, but maybe that’s just mac being mac… I don’t have an android phone to test with.
I did notice some odd behaviour with the control bar not showing in beta. I’ve switched back to the release version. Are you still able to chrome cast with your android phone now?
I’ve also disabled the preloader. Didn’t realise it was add extra server load.
On our website it is important that the videos are not downloadable. I’m not sure if having just the CDN Token Authentication enabled is enough to prevent that, or would you suggest enabling the Token Authentication, or both? I did think I noticed a reduction in loading speed with both were enabled…
ok I’ve turned it back on. So that was the issue with the videos not working.
Thanks Martin, ok I’ve switched to the beta now. As you will see on https://fatherheartlife.com/test/ the videos stop working
Hi Martin,
Thanks again for your feedback. I did as you said and installed the pro plugin via the admin dashboard. After doing this though, the videos stopped working when in Beta mode, saying HTML5 file not found, even when the “Emulate m3u8 files” setting was off.
But after switching back to the ‘Release’ version it worked again.I had another look at all the settings in FV player and Bunny stream and found the Video Preload setting. It seems to only do 1 per page, but most of our videos are offered on separate ‘post’ pages. So after this the videos do play pretty much instantly, which is great.
Unfortunately the chrome cast still isn’t working. The allowed domains on my bunny stream are:
fatherheartlife.com
*.gstatic.com
foliovision.comI tried disabling
- Block Direct Url File Access
- Embed View Token Authentication
- CDN Token Authentication
But unfortunately no success…
Hello Martin,
Ok thanks for explaining that. I missed the part about switching to Beta. I did it and found the setting.
Unfortunately, after enabling it, the chrome cast still doesn’t work.
I found another post in your forum regarding CDN tokens causing issues, so within Bunny stream I’ve disabled the CDN and Embed View Tokens and disabled the MP4 fallback. This has slightly decrease the loading time in using FV player (from 5 seconds to 3 seconds). Its still not as good as I’d like it to be, and the embedded player from Bunny stream loads faster, but I’d like to keepn using FV player for its extra features.
Hi Martin, thanks for getting back to me. I’ve got to say, I really love your plugin.It’s got so many cool features.
I’ve installed FV player 8 and the pro version, but when I go to the stream loader settings I don’t see the “Emulate m3u8 files” setting. See screenshots attached.
I did try the chrome cast after installing version 8 and enabling streamloader but it still is showing as not allowed (See also screenshots).
I’ve actually experienced a bit of a lag after switching from hosting our videos on Amazon AWS to Bunny stream. The auto encoding is great and the videos play well, but the initial starting of the video when you click the play button has about a 4-5 second delay. Its quite long and I feel like it shouldn’t be that long.
I tried enabling the speed up setting in the streamloader but this creates an error on the videos, see screenshots.I’ve put the same video from Bunny stream on a test page, once using FV player (video 1) and once using the Bunnystream player you get when you embed directly from their platform (video 2). See here: https://fatherheartlife.com/test/
As you can see, the FV player loads significantly slower than the embedded version from Bunnystream.
Do you know of any way to speed up the process?
Sure thing Martin, have a look here:
https://fatherheartlife.com/test/Thanks!
Hi Martin, thanks for getting back to me. I’ve tried adding those domains to the allowed domain list (see attached) but when trying to cast from my chrome ios browser it still gets blocked (see also attached). Any other domains I could try to add?
