Playlists Doing Nothing

The problem seems to be that something is loading the jQuery from Google instead of that from WordPress. It seems to be happening on the fly by some type of JS. I would recommend switching to a default theme and then disabling the plugins one by one to see if it starts working at one point.

Thanks Ulrich. I’ll have someone look into it.

Is there a way to disable the triangle play button that overlays the video? I use thumbnails that have a big ghosted one embedded. The one with the plugin overlaps my white text, making it hard to read.

This css should hide the play button.

This will hide it on all videos

.flowplayer-video.is-splash .fp-ui,
.flowplayer-video.is-paused .fp-ui {
display:none;
}

Change 17 with the video ID and it will only hide it on that specific video.

.flowplayer-video-17.is-splash .fp-ui,
.flowplayer-video-17.is-paused .fp-ui {
display:none;
}

I have this problem as well. All single videos work but playlist just loops the first video, there is no grid-style list of videos like in the demos, just Prev and Next links, and using Firefug, I can see the a href for these links are empty. [I can’t seem to right-click these links, it just pops up the flowplayer menu]

6 month later followup: I had a coder properly look at the original issue, and fixed it per suggestions above. However, like Kirah, I experience the same 1st video loop.

Personally, I just gave up and listed all the (software tutorial) videos individually. The issue then came from Mac vs. PC. I originally made Tiny 300×200 thumbnails to click on, expecting people to go full screen.

PC would go full screen of browser window (as desired). Mac unfortunately goes full screen and blacks out the other monitor. Then the viewers could not follow along in their own software while watching my video. I was forced to make 640×480 thumbnails, and after listing like 10+ videos per page, it’s quite overbearing.

I have no solution to see small thumbnails, with video titles (preferably with descriptions as well), and have it play in it’s own window. I even tried a Lightbox that accepts HTML code, but it didn’t know what to make of the Flowplayer plugin code.

@k1rah – At the moment there are just simple links. I have not gotten around to styling them. I don’t think they will ever be thumbnails etc as everyone has different needs. The HTML markup is all there for you to style. e.g. This css should add buttons under the video to switch between videos

.flowplayer {
   background-color: #ccc;
   /* allow room for playlist buttons */
   margin-bottom: 100px;
}

.flowplayer .fp-playlist {
   position: absolute;
   bottom: -100px;
   width: 100%;
   text-align: center;
}

.flowplayer .fp-playlist a {
   display: inline-block;
   width: 70px;
   height: 70px;
   border-radius: 70px;
   background-color: #666;
   margin: 15px;
}

.flowplayer .fp-playlist a.is-active {
   background-color: #eee;
}

.flowplayer.is-paused .fp-playlist a.is-active {
   background-color: #ccc;
}

Do you have a link to the page where you have added the playlist so that I can see what is not working?

@theartofretouching – Unfortunately I am not able to test the screen issue with the mac as I only have use Windows and only have access to a single mac without a second display.

I did start working on having a lightbox feature for the videos but never finished. I will try to get it finished.

Ulrich, if you could complete the Lightbox function, that would solve a huge problem for Mac users. As I said, Full Screen currently takes over both monitors. If you could put Lightbox into this plugin, It could them grow to the size of the browser, and that would let the user decide how big to make it. For software educational videos (like mine), that would be amazing.

I have completed the lightbox feature. Let me know if you would be interested in beta testing it,

Absolutely, that would be a wonderful addition. I’ve just been through re-coding my entire website fixing the core full screen issue on Macs (that required the lightbox). So while it sucks that I just finished fixing on my side, I would offer the solution is not visually appealing, and I would happily re-code the pages that required this change.
You can reach me at info at theartofretouching com. Thanks.

The lightbox feature is included in the latest update 1.12.0

Yeah, not so much. Link below has three screenshots for the 3 new options. “None” is the only one that still works Mac Firefox. No Lightbox actually seen, only the broken thumbnails and tiny video like the screenshots suggest.

I also created a test video and page. This works fine in my regular website. Once I set it to one of the new options, the display gets screwy and Thumbnail gives me double art. Mac and PC did the same thing. Nothing I tried actually gave me any Lightboxes, just broken Artwork/Display.
