Flowplayer Wordpress

[Kayleen Dauteuil]

Weheard about problems when using some fancy pro templates like OptimizePress (read below for fixing instructions) or Gantry framework. These templates often break the WordPress conventions (probably as they often try to add too many non-template functions, like video support built-in into the template). We can debug the issues for you, just head over to our website and order the pro support.

The error message means the WordPress media uploads directory (by default wp-content/uploads) is not writable by PHP. We use this standard WordPress path as it should work for nearly all the websites. Most of people use the standard WordPress Media Library, so this should really work.

This option is not available. With autobuffer, it means every visitor on every visit to your page will be downloading the video. This means that you use a lot more bandwidth than on demand. I know that I actually watch the video on only about 1/3 of the pages with video that I visit. That saves you money (no bandwidth overages) and means that people who do want to watch the video and other visitors to your site get faster performance.

If you want to autobuffer, you can turn that on in the options (we turn it off by default and recommend that it stays off).

You can change this manually in the the models/flowplayer.php in the flowplayer_head function. It you use videos in widgets you might need to edit the function flowplayer_content in controller/frontend.php as well. Please be carefull when editing source codes.

Fill the Flowplayer shortcode part according to your needs. The apply filter needs to be called because the flowplayer shortcodes are not parsen outside posts automatically. Also, please do not forget to add the echo at the beginning.

There is an possible issue with some themes: YouTube video opens in fullscreen, but after minimizing and opening fullscreen again, the video is shrinked in the left part of the screen (as in this example). You need to copy this CSS into your theme style sheet:

I have problem with flowplayer on wordpress. I know it been plugin for adsense add but my client need use they own ads. I found plugin who named VAST but I don't know how I'm using this plugin in wordpress.

That is generic ads. VAST 2.0 is probably commonly used still now. For technology related sites (or like that) Kaltura player works with DFP. We bypass complexity of backend setup of Ad Server with DFP. Kaltura has support for new VPAID/VAST 3.0. they do have WP Plugin (see on WordPress repo). Here are resources on Kaltura and Generic Ads --

I have checked my site and there are no errors anywhere other then the flowplayer one from your plugin.

if I deactivate the plugin I get no errors anywhere on the site but as soon as I enable it I get errors even in the main page.

Flowplayer works very well and looks great so all i did was download the free version from the flow player website, unzip the folder and drag the folder across to a new folder in a sub directory on my server which is wpsites.net/flowplayer

Conclusion: The best WordPress Video Plugin, FV WordPress Flowplayer, works flawlessly with the best free video player for WordPress and its simple to install, setup and configure on your own server which you control.
