[Maciej]

Hello in June will be google alghoritm update based on factor about page loading speed mainly on mobile devices and kvs player blocking me with prepare website before this big alghoritm uppdate. 

Example https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsex4arabxxx.com%2F%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%AC%D9%85-%D8%B7%D9%8A%D8%B2-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AE%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AE-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B0%D8%B1%2F&hl=en

 

Is any option to implement JW Player on my page?

What exactly is blocking?

Actually you can use any player with KVS, you just need to replace KVS player code with 3rd-party player code, but we do not provide any support for 3rd-party players.

Thank you for response, but where I can find in templates for example links to poster link to movie link ?

[Tech Support]

You can use {{$flashvars.preview_url}} for poster URL and {{$flashvars.video_url}} for video file URL.

One question more I have on player poster from url /contents/videos_screenshots/0/529/preview.mp4.jpg

I would like to change to /contents/videos_screenshots/0/529/preview_360.mp4.jpg

or /contents/videos_screenshots/0/529/preview_preview.mp4.jpg

[Tech Support]

Do you mean for KVS player or JW player?

 

[Maciej]

KVS

[Tech Support]

For KVS player it is coming from Settings -> Player settings, most probably you have this option enabled:

 

If you deactivate this option, then poster image will most probably be defaulted to preview_360.mp4.jpg, which is taken from the default video format configured in player settings under video formats:

 

But if you want it to be set to preview_preview.mp4.jpg, which looks to be a small preview format that is not intended for player, you can't have this set via settings. In this case you will need to manually adjust video_view block template (Website UI -> Pages -> View Video page -> View Video block) around this line:

kt_player('kt_player', '{{$config.project_url}}/player/kt_player.swf?v={{$config.project_version}}', '100%', '100%', flashvars);

 

Before this line you will need to add this to force player load another poster image:

flashvars['preview_url'] = '{{$data.screen_url}}/preview_preview.mp4.jpg';

I have problem with {{$flashvars.video_url}} in other player because I get link with, video_url: 'function/0/https://domain.com/get_file/1/51603597b6eb6be7570b9b65a662a232/1000/1719/1719.mp4/'

 

function/0/ , it's possible to remove it ?

[Tech Support]

You can remove it by deactivating links obfuscation option in Settings -> Content settings -> Video download script protection settings.

[Maciej]

I have and had disabled this function and still function/0/ is viewable

[Tech Support]

It is not that function that is shown on your screenshot. The option is named "Enable links obfuscation". It is located under "Enable protection for video download script", but I think it is a bug in old version that disabling the overall protection doesn't disable obfuscation automatically. So you have to enable protection and then disable obfuscation option (it will only appear after you enable protection). Then disable protection again, if you want to have it disabled.
