  • Excellent Streaming Audio Player too

    I just started using FV Player 8 and using a lot of streaming audio, and the player works well in an audio configuration... hence the rename from 'FV Flowplayer Video Player' to 'FV Player' 8.

  • The tool is great but it doesn't protect videos LINKS !!

    You did a great job building the tool and then in the latest version there are Two elements that are more than very annoying to users First is the copy link button that gives you the video link I want to hide or disable The other thing is the ability to click on the name of the video and it opens YouTube I want to stop these two features and there are no features for them in the tool. Is it possible to do this or customize this in exchange for purchasing the paid version of it? Please respond because the player is great but these two icons and functions may make the tool not good at all I tried to contact you via email to find a solution for it but I did not receive any responseI hope there are solutions for it
