HELP: Having problems with EASY VIDEO PLAYER and Wordpress

14 years ago

What theme are you using?

I found that to change things.

Also, sometimes the video might take a bit for the player to load on the page.

I've found the longer something is up, and the less I've played with editing the post, it gets a bit more sticky and shows just fine.

I'm using the Twenty Ten theme. The video loads perfectly and works great unless I forget and update the page/post from the visual editor. Its just that stupid issue WP has had where it messes with the code in the visual editor. I was hoping that someone had figured out a "miracle cure" for this. I couldn't find a plugin that would allow me to use both editors either.

Thanks
Steve

Hi

If your still having issues embedding easy video player code into wordpress posts a great solution which was worked for me is to place inline tags around the script code.

So in your evp embed code place the tag [inline] before the <script type= text. And then when the <script> code tag appears again in the code place the tag [/inline]

In some of the evp code the <script type= text may occur again so you add the [inline] tag before that and then after the next <script> text add [/inline] tag again.

For example your code would be something like........

guhgouhgoh</div><script type=hgrohorhgroirh<script><script type=rgurhiurhgrgu<script>

Then insert the [inline] tags...

guhgouhgoh</div>[inline]<script type=hgrohorhgroirh<script>[/inline][inline]<script type=rgurhiurhgrgu<script>[/inline]

Hope this helps,

Ian

I contacted EVP and they now have a little EVP plugin that did all this for me. Thanks for taking the time to address this issue and it might help with other stuff I do later.

Thanks again.

  I didnt know about the inline tags so I might try that. My solution has been to use the rawhtml plugin which also seems to work.
  
  Try to minimize the plugins I use on Wordpress so thanks for that info!
  
  Doubtless with the upcoming launch of Version 2.0 it will be a moot point anyway!
  
  Thanks

Greg,

EVP has a free plugin that will fix this. Contact their customer support and they will send it to you.

  Steve, very kind of you -
  
  I have a managed environment right now and there is a bit of lag while the admin team tests the plugin, so I'm looking for a quick interim solution.
  
  Ian's post led me to notice that the Wordpress page is modifying the EVP code during the save process, so I'm pursuing the root cause for that.
  
  Thank you for responding, I appreciate the direction!!

  You're welcome, and just so you know, there really is no "testing" needed for this plugin as its just a quick install and then it works.

It is an issue with the visual editor. It actualy is the worse part of wordpress. You have 2 options, dont use the visual editor or insert your code after you are done using the visual editor.

I had the same problem with EVP, so I ensured that I had the script on hand to paste back into my HTML editor... which worked fine.
So thanks for the inline tags.

I have a different problem re EVP

Inline CSS to line up image with a video
I need some help lining up an image with a video using inline CSS.
My video is hosted by AmazonS3 and player from Easy Video Player.

I added the script from EVP to my Home page and the video is playing at the top... all good.
I've added some code I found on another forum, but not exactly what I was after. Here is the code I used:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Video Goes Here</td>
<td>Image goes Here</td>
</tr>
</table>

Can someone recommend some code I can use that's not a table?

I just released a WordPress plugin that works with both the WordPress Visual Editor and the HTML Editor. Do a search for "EasyVideoPlayer" in the WP plugin directory and check it out!

What exactly does your plugin do that the EVP plugin doesn't already do?

Guys I have a problem with Easy Video Player 2 and it is becoming very frustrating. I am hosting with Amazon and using easy Video player 2. Every couple of days my videos disappear. i pop a ticket into gator and they say they can see them fine but i still can not and nor can my customers. i come back 1 hour later and the videos are showing. I go to support on easy video and it is obvious they do not want you asking questions as it is a 3 day delay and the support questionaire is too complex and wants access to my cpanel plus passwords etc

example here. Are these videos showing for you guys? and i am not trying to promote my site btw this is a genuine question

my site is marketingtoolscoaching.com and the videos are on the posts which can be accessed from the home page (I cannot put a link here due to not having enough posts)

There should be a video in the middle of the page of every post (around 10).

Are these videos showing for you guys?

Thanks

Hey Guys just thought I should ask this question here rather than starting a new thread.

Is anyone using Easy video player 2.0 together with the google video sitemap?

I am having a problem actually getting the thumbnail into my EVP code so that it shows up in the sitemap. Instead I have a white thumbnail with the text "click here to play video" and even when you click on this white thumbnail in the video sitemap it takes you no where.

Has anyone encountered this problem? did you get it fixed

Let me know please

Thanks

Try using the Video Viper plugin as it is a lot better with amazon videos.

Load the plugin and use the flash embed.

Here are the results I get and does not break with editing.

See the bottom video streamed through Amazon.

Here is the plugin.

I have had major issues with Easy Video and the support guys don't seem to understand or want to understand my issues. I just emailed them this comment "Guys what a balls up and i had to work it all out myself. please in future if someone goes to the effort to make a video at please make the effort to watch it and try to understand the clients problems. i rank your customer service as one of the worst sorry guys i have experienced and total time wasting is 5 days now . very poor

the tool is great but your level of understanding of my problems i would rank as 1/10

Hope you take this feedback and learn from it"

My experience with their main customer service guy seems to be sincere and wants to help but he suffers from ADD. And like you said, he didn't take the time to either fully read my message or watch the video or both. Therefore we would be going back and forth for several days about an issue that should have been addressed the first time. The time difference made it more of a problem with him being in New Zealand and me being in California. I had the exact same problem a couple years ago when dealing with the XSitepro customer service in England. Anyway, I found that the solution to dealing with this was to state upfront that you really need them to very carefully read the message I'm sending at least twice BEFORE answering so we aren't going back and forth for several days.
