Can't get video to load and would be grateful for any pointers please

I’m trying without much success to get flow player to work on a test website. I have it working on another site but on the test site it just doesn’t work. I get an error saying ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: fp. The full error is:

[quote][Error] ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: fp
onOpen (player.php, line 447)
p (jquery.bpopup-0.8.0.min.js, line 6)
(anonymous function) (jquery.bpopup-0.8.0.min.js, line 6)
each (jquery-1.10.2.min.js, line 4)
each (jquery-1.10.2.min.js, line 4)
bPopup (jquery.bpopup-0.8.0.min.js, line 6)
(anonymous function) (player.php, line 442)
dispatch (jquery-1.10.2.min.js, line 5)
handle (jquery-1.10.2.min.js, line 5)[/quote]

Line 447 in the player.php is fp.load();

The code I’m using to load the video (when somebody clicks a button is should load) is:

$(".thumb-vid").click(function(){ $("#pop").bPopup({ modalClose: true, opacity: 0.6, positionStyle: 'fixed', onClose: function(e){ if (fp.loading) { e.preventDefault(); } else { fp.unload(); } }, onOpen: function(){ fp.load(); } });

I’d be grateful for any help on this please.

As flowplayer is a paid product and we don’t have access to it, I suggest that you get in touch with their help forum.

At a first guess though, it looks like the flowplayer library code is not being loaded.

That’s what I thought but didn’t know how to get it to load

I tried the flowplayer forum but they said that because I’m trying to load it on a page that isn’t theirs they can’t help me :worried:

I’m really stuck with this and have tried to debug it but don’t know where to start.

I’d be so grateful for any help please

I used to use the free version of Flowplayer, but to be honest, in these days of HTML5 video, it’s a distant memory now. Have you considered that option? There are tons of great (free) JS libraries for enhancing the experience, too.

6

Can you link us to your page that’s having trouble?

7

Have you followed the installation instructions? Those instructions don’t have any reference to an fp variable. So that is where I would start.

Unfortunately I can’t post a link as it’s only accessible via VPN at the moment while it’s in development. Sorry I know that’ not much help but I can post any code that would help

I have followed them and it works on another site but on the test site it doesn’t work at all :worried:

10

Same code?

11

Yes but if you need any more code I can provide that

12

On the site which this is working is the site and video located on the same domain?

13

no, one’s a full domain the other is just an IP address, although I did try changing the mapping so that the full domain pointed to the IP address but that didn’t work either

14

I’ve tried added console.log ($fp); to the code to find out where the problem is but that returns empty
