manual navigation in lookback video

    Hi Alec, Thank-you for Protected Video, it was exactly what I needed to protect an unlisted YT 24/7 live stream of a mooring field at a private boating club I belong to. I only want club members with the page password to be able to view the live stream and not copy/share the YT link. Besides this nuisance issue Protected Video has been working very well.

    The issue I’m having is the manual video navigation in the plyr controls does not span the full 12 hours of lookback video. It appears the longer the live stream runs the more the navigation space decreases (see 2 captures below). YT is supposed to DVR 12 hours of video for streams longer than 12 hours. It would be helpful if the full width of the navigation bar is used to scan through the 12 hours of dvr video. The first capture is at 2:52am, the second is at 14:54pm. The video navigation bar uses only the right most 2 inches for navigation through 12 hours of dvr video. I realize this is most likely a plyr setting and not related to Protected Video. My question is do you happen to know of a plyr setting that can correct this and if so how would I embed the html that includes this plyr setting on my web page? Currently I am using the /Protected Video block.

    Thanks, Henry

    In plyr documentation I see a mention of progressive enhancement, but I’m not sure if this is related to the issue I am seeing?

    We recommend progressive enhancement with the embedded players. You can elect to use an <iframe> as the source element (which Plyr will progressively enhance) or a bog standard <div> with two essential data attributes – data-plyr-provider and data-plyr-embed-id.<div class=”plyr__video-embed” id=”player”> <iframe src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/bTqVqk7FSmY?origin=https://plyr.io&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&#8243; allowfullscreen allowtransparency allow=”autoplay” ></iframe> </div>

    Pasting screen captures did not work and the wordpress link to upload to imgur is incorrect. Apologies, I emailed you the screen captures.

    Hi Henry,

    You are correct that if this is a bug, it’s a bug with Plyr and not this Protected Video plugin.

    I believe development on Plyr has ceased and focus is now on Vidstack so do check that out if you want a custom solution. I plan to eventually add Vidstack support to Protected Video.

    Regarding the progressive enhancement comment that won’t be related to this issue. Also, if this plugin output an iframe in the initial HTML from the server it would make the YouTube ID easier to identify in the page source.

    Thanks Alec,

    I look forward to your future version of Protected Video that supports Vidstack. I will evaluate switching to your new plugin and look at this issue again at that time.
