Adding Fluid player support to this plugin is the worst idea ever, if this gets implemented that would be the end for me using this player. People sometimes don’t read the terms of use when it comes to a new video player like Fluid Player.

Hi Kyle,

I just wanted to update this issue here. I am still using the development version on GitHub that you posted, while it works better (the play button just stays about a couple of seconds too long but better than staying all the way through the whole video) I was doing some testing with another site and I think I might have found the issue.

On the testing site I used your released version and also the development version on GitHub. It looks like the plugin has a conflict with Cloudflare CDN and a particular feature called “Rocket Loader”. When disabling “Rocket Loader” the plugin both the released version and the development version worked with no issues.
I would really hate disabling the “Rocket Loader” feature on Cloudflare, it does help in a big way on loading times on the site.

Cloudflare does have a manual setting that can be implemented for this plugin but I am not sure how to go about it, specially when the plugin requires future updates via new releases in the future, If you have any suggestions let me know.

Cloudflare suggestion is to add the following attribute to the HTML script tag before the ‘src’ attribute (adding the attribute via JavaScript is not sufficient) the following:

data-cfasync=“false”

It would be great that if in your next release you could incorporate this feature under settings, maybe something along the lines of “Cloudflare Compatibility Rocket Loader”.

Please also let me know if you get to implement this on the development version on GitHub or if you have any advice for me on how to go about using the data-cfasync=“false”.

Hi Kyle,
I tested out the version on Github and it works for both Firefox and Edge.
I think this is the fix. That is awesome Kyle!

Hi Kile,
Thanks for the update on this issue.
Unfortunately it did not work. The big play button remains visible on autoplay on Firefox and Edge. I made sure I cleared all caches and also double checked on Browserstack as well, and the issue persist.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense to me.
If you have Browserstack you would be able to confirm the same issue on Edge. I was able to duplicate the issue there as well.

Hi Kyle,

I turned off “Play automatically when page loads” feature, and the videos are able to play without the “big start” button in the middle during the entire video. This is not the ideal condition for my site, but at least they are able to watch the videos without the big “play” button in the middle.
Please let me know if you find a solution on your end or if you have a hack that can go around this. There might be a clue here in the auto play feature that could be causing this.

Site is about 5 Years Old and we have not change much in our end. This is just been happening recently.

Hi Kyle,

I wanted to let you know that now I am getting reports from our users that they are having the same issue on Windows 10, Latest Explorer (Version 14+).
I was able to verify this as well.

Hi Kyle,

Not a problem, thanks for being very responsive with this issue, I do appreciate your time and effort.

Lechon

Thanks!

I just sent you an eMail

Hi Kyle,

Yes, I was able to duplicate myself. I can’t post a link here on a public forum because my client won’t allow me. I can send you a link PM if you like.

Yup, I even tried 777

I am having the same issue and I am not on a shared host, I have a complete dedicated server, I even tried a new directory structure somewhere else with no luck.

Tried everything I could think of, from file permissions 777 etc. to new directories.
Nothing seems to work.
