Hi,

We’re actively looking at a pop-out video option.

However, your suggestion may not be exactly workable – we do not know the resolution of the provided video and hence could not provide the pop-out to that size. Instead it would have to be a set size defined within the profiles.

Applian.

Assuming you can add it to IFRAMEs (we’ve not looked) then it should be implementable for a future release.

Applian.

The metadata doesn’t work with IFRAME output, just OBJECT.

Applian.

Can you give us a little more information? What’s empty?

Applian.

That’s fine. The links would have switched on automatically when you went to 3.0. From 3.1 afterwards we switched them off by default.

However, what we couldn’t do is force them off at 3.1 for existing users as it may switch off users who want the download bar. If you switched the download bar off at 3.0 and then updated to 3.1 then nothing would have changed.

Applian.

Above where you tick/untick for the download bar to appear you can specify some CSS to wrap around the output. If you specify anything here then it’s added to the SPAN that you mention. If you’ve not supplied any CSS then this SPAN should not appear.

However, I’ve taken a look and you’re right, it’s appearing – this is a bug. We’ll fix it with the next release.

Applian.

The latest version of the plugin does not add these on by default.

Applian.

The latest version of the plugin does not add these links.

If you are reviewing the older version 3 release then, yes, it did. However, you can simply untick the box in the Profiles screen to switch it off rather than mask it as you have done here.

Applian.

We’re sorry you’re experiencing the issues and we’re happy to look into these further.

With regard to your 3 issues…

1. Did you try, as suggested, switching off the video quality option? Did this make a difference?

2. and 3. We cannot re-create this issue. If you see the video at https://vixy.net/youtube-embed/ we are using the plugin and, like yourself, the IFRAME embeds. Both of these options work for us. If you can provide a screenshot of the profile and options screens we can attempt to re-create with the same parameters as yourself. Alternatively, if you point us to a web page where these options are not working then we can look at the code to see which options you’re using and re-create it that way.

Applian.

The only thing that changes in 3.1 that may have affected your output is the video quality option. What happens if you switch this option off?

What was the older issue? As you’re probably aware we’ve taken this over from the previous developer so may not be aware of the earlier request.

Applian.

Thanks for letting us know. That’s now been fixed and we’ll include it in the next release.

If you’d like to fix it in the meantime open up the file includes/set-defaults.php from the plugin folder.

After 232 add the following 3 lines…

if ( !array_key_exists( 'link_to_youtube', $options ) ) { $options[ 'link_to_youtube' ] = ''; $changed = true; }
if ( !array_key_exists( 'vixy_download', $options ) ) { $options[ 'vixy_download' ] = ''; $changed = true; }
if ( !array_key_exists( 'vq', $options ) ) { $options[ 'vq' ] = ''; $changed = true; }

Applian.

After feedback we have updated the plugin and changed the way the links are output – we hope these are more suitable.

We have also taken the time to add some new, requested features including the ability to specify the resolution of the video.

If you have any further feedback, don’t hesitate to comment.

We’ve returned – and with new features!

Apologies for the loss of service over the extended weekend.

Applian.

No further contact. Assuming resolved.
