(2) player bar goes away when pausing video.
YES! Already a win in my book. I wasn't going to say anything because you had enough problems but this current player was annoying as hell. I use snipping tool to take screens of slides to place in Evernote and most of the time the damn player would pop up (paused or not) when I did so. Thanks for making this happen. <3
Great! Will the new player also have the option for 1920x1080 HD?
Richard,
I would put a pause on the conversion. The new video player is causing issues for me. I would pause and see if others report problems before moving all the course videos to the new hosting. Just my two cents...

I would rather know now what issues you have as cannot keep moving from host to host. And from experience, many members just do not report troubles, or the opposite, so time goes by little apparent progress.
The only issues for new system I see could be the limited browser support, although Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari are covered. Reason for limits is due to use of Hollywood-grade DRM protection to reduce ongoing theft of course.
See this document: DRM Compatibility Explanation
Talking of limited browser support, we did consider going to a 100% secure system but it would need everyone to use the same specialist dedicated browser (no Chrome/whatever). There would also be no screen capture. Al decided this was too much. The new system does allow us to overlay the users email address on screen to discourage screen capture, but not 100%.
Or is your trouble something other than browser choice?
Ref query on option for 1920x1080, all videos are already at that resolution but website page size is limited to 1040 width. Going full screen gives a very high resolution that is quite clear given the non-complex content. Am I missing something? (Quite possible in my current exhausted state!)
Ref new hosting: All Bonus Videos and course videos 01-02D done so far. Was planning on getting 01-07B or more done before end of today.
Just checked course video 02A and it plays well. Used Firefox(private window) as this is my other laptop and did not face any trouble. Would check if any issues persist on my main laptop where I use Edge(incognito mode) and would let you know, if any issues in the next 5-6 hours(sorry for the delay).
Although, I never really faced any issue with any of the hosts at any point of time but I am not sure what this DRM protection is. Being not so young anymore to be technologically adaptable, I am a bit nervous about what implications it may carry. Although, I never took any screenshots for my notes, I would like to have the option. Would you be so kind to explain these to me, Richard?
Thanks again and sorry for your troubles.

FYI. Just want to repeat above notice as new DRM (Digital Rights Management) system needs latest browser versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge - for both Windows and Apple devices. Safari will be supported later when we add the Apple DRM (Apple has to be non-standard and different of course).
See the site Online video player support information page for more details on desktops and mobile devices.
Now have course videos #01-07B on new system (plus Bonus Videos). Remainder of Price Action Fundamentals to follow tomorrow.

Hi Abir,
I am no 'Spring chicken' either! DRM is just Digital Rights Management as noted above, the same approach that movie companies like Netflix use. Stops a whole range of hacking softwares from downloading (ie stealing) course videos. Downside is need for up-to-date browsers but that should not be a problem as we need same for security, and modern browsers do keep us up to date. You cannot see videos if still on Internet Explorer or Netscape for example! 😆
So no real implications to worry about. Screenshots are still available using programs like Snagit but we will add video overlays of email addresses a little later to discourage those less sophisticated pirates from stealing the course - and plenty of those on Planet Earth sadly.
Al has to pay a pirate chasing agency every month to take down lots of pirate links, and never ending. Hopefully this video hosting will reduce the problem and cost.
Hi, the new software being used seems to be working for me. Videos play fine. Thank you.
I promised I will provide a feedback regarding how the videos play on my main laptop which uses Edge browser. Feedback is the videos work fine. No problem. However, they did not play on my Android smartphone device which uses Chrome. The message I got was that I needed to update the browser but it probably is the latest version. If someone else could provide any inputs regarding the issue, that would be helpful.
Thanks for your update, Richard. That is helpful. I guess, the genuine members have nothing to worry about even with the shift to the new system.

Sadly. Not sure how it got so bad.

Hopefully, the reduced cost will help offset the shifting and hosting charges a little bit.
All "Price Action Fundamentals" videos (#01-#36B) for Brooks Trading Course and Brooks Forex Trading Course migrated to new system.
Hi, i am trying to type everything from the video, and i need to constantly pause the video. But with this new video management system, after a few pauses, the video speed will go from 2.0 to 1.0000000000000006 then to 0.60000000000. Would you mind if you could see if this problem could be resolved? It is really difficult for me to study it right now. Thanks!

Hi Herman, can you tell me exactly which videos this is happening on. The new system videos (v2) are on #01-36B so far only. 37B onwards tomorrow...
PS. Why don't you simply screen capture the slide of interest and work from that?
Happening to me to yesterday and today. Multiple videos. Either error message or just a spinning circle. I miss the old system...I don't need no stinking subtitles 😉
Enjoy your day, Richard 🙂
Should clarify
Videos not loading or playing...course videos and even the video on the homepage. Happens intermittantly on multiple devices. Same pc/laptops & browser I've always used in the past. On one of my laptops, any video on the new hosting causes my video driver to crash. That will teach those pirates...can't steal what you can't watch 🙂
Clarification should give course video numbers too, but assume you are talking about those in 01-36B if Home Page video also trouble.
Home page and other recent blog posted videos should be perfectly fine now. ; )
Still no reply from most recent member having trouble. So difficult when feedback limited. Everything perfect for me and possibly 90% visitors/members out there. But yes, we do need 100%. Working on it (well, sleeping on it now!). Catch up with you later.
