The example page is https://www.gamedot.co.uk/project/2013/02/20/playstation-event-live-blog/

When this shortcode is added by the player the video is playable;

[jwplayer player=”1″ mediaid=”16092″]

I added your bit of code and placed the file on the root of my server and the player no longer displays. The entire code is;

[jwplayer player=”1″ mediaid=”16092″ plugins=”https://www.gamedot.co.uk/agegate.js” agegate.minage=”10″ agegatge.cookielife=”0″]

Hmmm I must be doing something wrong.

I’ve tried placing that file on the root of my server as well as in the sub folder I’m currently using for testing, but the video will just not show when I add the above plugin shortcode.

Thanks for the link. I’m not entirely sure how I get the age gate to work though – what do I put into the embed code for it to call the script?

Thanks.

Hi Mikko,

Apologies for the delay in responding.

That would be great. I’ve created a clone of the site and uploaded the articles. I’ve configured the plugin so that it is setup the same on both sites as well. Getting pretty much the same results on the newly established site.

I’ll give you access to this site. I figure this will be better so you can make any changes you need to do without an impact being felt on the live site.

If you head to https://www.gamedot.co.uk/2009/01/07/contact-us-2/ you’ll find an email address you can contact me on and we can sort access out for you.

Cheers.

I’m having the problem with all reviews really. A search for Batman review again provides results but not in the order I expected. Again items that have no relevance to those search terms (or so it appears) are appearing before the first Batman related review (Batman: Arkham Asylum review).

If I use AND again just one result is returned, “Gamedots End of Year review”, returned because I believe Arkham Asylum was someones Game of the Year. Again quotes around Batman will return the best results.

The problem seems to occur, or is at least appearing to be worse, when there is more than 1 review for a game series (Forza for example). If there’s just the one game it seems to work quite well.

Thanks for the response.

Yes the plugin is always kept up to date. I’ve even just disabled and deleted the plugin and reinstalled and re indexed but still having the same problem.

I’m happy to try the hack, but Call of Duty was just an example, I’d need it to behave that way for all searches which I don’t think would be possible would it?

Also, with the OR search if you try “call of duty” review as the search query that works great. First 4 results are all Call of Duty reviews. Try AND and same result, first 4 results all Call of Duty reviews.

Noticeable differences otherwise though. The OR results seem to be a lot more relevant. With AND the remaining results brought back Battlefield and other reviews.

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

Yep that’s the site.

I had used the AND search before because it made more sense, and with the same weights as mentioned above I got a really strange result – just 1 result with the article title being “Battlefield 3 review” which made no sense at all.

I change the weights so Post Titles was set at 100, everything else remained the same (Tag weight 1, Category and Comment 0) and I still get the 1 result – Battlefield 3 review.

I did notice Call was a stop word so removed it and did a reindex but received the same results.

If I have Tag weight at 100 and title at 1 I get.

I’ve also tried 500, not sure how high you can go?

I’ve had to change it back to OR because I can’t have such inaccurate results as I currently get with AND. Using AND makes more sense, but the results being returned are really strange.

I’ve just checked each of the posts I would expect to appear first, and each one has “Call of Duty” and “Review” in the tags, so I don’t know why they’re not appearing first.

Cheers, I’ll take a look at that.

Thanks. I’ve made the change and can now see the age gate on the HTML5 version, but the age gate isn’t appearing correctly – it’s off centre? I tried on Chrome, Firefox and IE and found the same thing.

Thanks.

Hi.

I’ve just changed it back to play in HTML. The trailer on this article has the age gate on. https://www.gamedot.co.uk/2013/01/07/new-dead-space-3-trailer-shows-kinect-voice-commands/

I can change it back to Flash as well if you like.

Thanks for the help.

Just tried that and it works fine, so looks like it’s JW5 that isn’t working, so thank you for the information.

Any ideas when JW6 will be available for WordPress, and will any players already embedded into posts run using the JW5 or JW6 player? Thanks.

If that was the main cause of the problem, wouldn’t it happen on every post? Every image that we use (excluding screenshots, but they are added as a gallery) has the dimensions 600×320, but only some articles seem to be effected and I can’t figure out why.

Changing the width and height does work, but I’d prefer not to have to do that.

Thanks.
