@ [B]Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------
Q: I got white screen when playing a google video.
A: AnyMedia fetch the correct video url, but there's sth wrong with the flvplayer.swf, try to refresh the page to solve it.

Q: When using mp3player.swf to play mp3, it's played fast/slowly.
A: Flash doesn't support vbr (variable bit rate) mp3 files.It only support a mp3 with a fixed bitrate of 64/96/128 kbps ,a sample frequency of 22.05kHz and joint stereo. To solve it, turn the option off in admincp to make it be played by WMP.

Q: I have to click play button twice to play a google video.
A: Emmm... Even using the google player, you also have to click twice. I don't know why, and I'm trying to fixed it. If you know, just tell me. :)

Q: The supported extensions checkbox are always unchecked even if I check them all.
A: The permission cache is not updated. Overwrite the 'includes/xml/bitfield_anymedia.xml' file, and log into your admincp to visit 'admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields' to rebuild the permission cache.

Q: When I use build-in player to play Youtube, it will be loading all the time.
A: To use the build-in player to play Youtube videos, your server have to enable the 'allow_url_fopen' option, or enable the 'fsockopen / curl_init' functions. If failed, turn the 'Use AnyMedia Player for Youtube Video' option off in admincp.

Q: I cannot get the PPLive working with my Firefox or etc.
A: As far as I know, the pplive object can only work with IE. And if you know how to embed it on FireFox, just tell me. :)

@ [B]Todo
---------------------------------
1. Add a Playlist.
2. Integrate it with CMPS, Link & Download Sys, and etc.
3. read ID3 tag.

@ Notes
---------------------------------
1. We need other translations, if you made one, just PM (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/private.php?do=newpm&u=112668) me.

If you like the hack, Please click https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=106239) .

I DO NOT know whether I should update the hack.
I'm not a coder of vBulletin-Chinese Team now, as I left there weeks ago.
Sorry about this, and I'll tell you how the update's going if it's really on the way.

[nitro]

Looks interesting :)
I try to stay away from file edits but this one may well be worth it when I get round to using it live.

Is there a way to restrict the media tag per forum id's ?

[Mastar]

I have installed! You can only use caps wid the tags?

[sinoeu]

A MUST to include in the official vbb version! Crist, you rock!!! :up:

[Guest210212002]

Hm, installed, but not working - nothing at all shows up in the post. Files uploaded, changes made, product imported.

What am I missing?

I thought the template compressor might be hosing it, but it makes no difference.

If I view my source, there's no reference to it at all. :(

[Barakat]

just Great Great > installed

[ChurchMedia]

Installed but not working.

[nhacso]

Crist, you can edit code make the end user (as me, you or someone) can easily choose the other tag name (not only the tag call is "media", so the end user can edit to diffence name they like).

For simple more, Can you make the option call example is "abc" include the name tag to run all media type (put in Vbulletin Options in AdminCP)?. After, the end user go to AdminCP/Vbulletin Options/abc will check & fill the fied name tag. Default name tag is "media" as the author is Crist written the code, the end user as me when install & using mod hack will change the tag is "media" to "music" for suitable of my forum. After, the "music" tag will become the main tag to run all media type instead of the "media" tag.

[mightyb]

I have installed it but it does not work here either.

[Guest210212002]

Mighty cool mod too, especially for my site, which is music related.

I hope this gets sorted out.

/me can't wait

[plateau]

cool !

[jlkimball11]

Installed but not working.
yeah ! Installed but not working in site for me. :ermm:

[70age]

very good!!

[Crist]

Is there a way to restrict the media tag per forum id's ?
It's in the ToDos.
It'll come true in next version.
:rolleyes:

[Crist]

[media] or [MEDIA] are both right.
:nervous:

Sorry for my lapsus...
I used the Chinese Product ID write the Code Mods of the English Version.

Now I've Updated the zip pack already,
One who failed to install the hack may download the new pack,
and Redo the Code Modifications. (Just redo this step,others are right.)

:surprised:

[Snake]

You da man! :D

Thanks!

[sensimilla]

outstanding hack! works like a charm, that download function is just perfect!

thanks Crist

[EasyTarget]

does this let you choose which of the media types you allow on your board or does it allow all of them?

[kadafi_alive]

Flash doesn't work in IE but it does on Firefox

[imported_yesonline]

Excellent work, just the one I am looking for. :)

[nitro]

Works great on my test install, I am wondering tho should there be a first post restricion at all as a page full of say swf's added with the media tag is going take quite some time to load. I just added 3 in firefox and as they are cached each time no real problem but then I opened the same page in IE which of course wasnt cached and it took some loading time to completely load the page.

I think it should be conditionaled to certain forum ids so it cannot be used where its not wanted and restriced to first post of the thread. Im sure this can be covered with an if /if around the template edit. :)

[Guest210212002]

Thank you Crist, that worked perfectly. :D

Great hack!

[Mastar]

I did the update but now when I make a post with the tags, the thread doesn't show.

Can you please come to the site and see for yourself and see what is wrong?

I had to reimport the product to get it to work, in addition to the new code edit.

Also, depending on how you have it configured, the template compressor hack breaks this.

whatelse counld be wrong?

In IE works perfectly but in Firefox it says "Install Missing Plugins"

When i click on that is says "Unknown plugin" :ermm: :ermm:

Great hack tho!It wont stream the video,it will just cache it all and play it,right?

[nitro]

Im streaming avi in FF right now with it on my testbed accross my home network its running fine.

@imported_predatorkill What type of media file you put in ?

My question now is it seem there is no restriction. Someone could load the first page of a thread with 10 1.5 GB avi's and it will sit there loading each one eventually. You can even use the ftp:// protocol in the tags :o One avi will load quickly but how is a thread page going to handle multiple posts with media tages or even a single post with multiple media tags. :D

[Crist]

does this let you choose which of the media types you allow on your board or does it allow all of them?

YES,
You could choose what you need in admincp...

[Crist]

A MUST to include in the official vbb version.

凉鞋，俺挺你，就是挺你，挺着你。

Thanks for the icon you made for the hack...
LOL

[Crist]

I did the update but now when I make a post with the tags, the thread doesn't show.

Can you please come to the site and see for yourself and see what is wrong?

I think you should install the plugin for the FF yourself.
the hack won't install it automatically.

Thank you sir, what a great feature to have, running to click install :)

This looks like a great mod! Is there an option to disallow it for guests?

[Crist]

This looks like a great mod! Is there an option to disallow it for guests?
No.......
But i'm gonna restrict it with the usergroup permissions..

[imported_predatorkill]

The problem is that the plugin x-mplayer2 (something like that) to play the .wmv files cannot be downloaded automatically from firefox...An when i try to make it manually there is no plugin for this...

[PtP]

Not sure what the issue is but I recieve this error when I post or edit a post using the media bbcode.

Let me add that the bbcode does appear to work correctly though and the error does not show when the post is viewed at a later time.

I converted a small avi to wmv and it was fine in FF 1.50 for me, well it was when I put the address in and not just the filename. :D But the quality was not to good. What ver FF you using, not that it should matter really between 1.0x and 1.5 xmplayer is not a plugin well not in windows anyway cant be sure on nix but I think its just how its named becasue FF is as much if not more for nix than win32 and xmplayer is a nix app like wmp. In windows it shud use the wmp embed I think

You can also get a mediaconnecter plugin for FF (win) which you can set to other apps ie vlcplayer etc for certain filetypes. You should not need it for embedded wmv's to work tho.

I got this also, although the basic functionality does appear to be working well so far.

Second problem: I turned off Autoplay, but a WMV still autoplays.

I also have had this problem, not sure where the error is?

Regardz :)

[whitetigergrowl]

The error appears to be coming from when you turn off the option in the Admin CP 'AnyMedia BB Options' for 'Whether to show the download link'. Something needs to be fixed for that. When I turn it on everything seems fine.

Oh yeah,
I fixed it.

One who gets the error like

may import the XML file again to fix the bug,
I've updated the zip pack already.

I'll release a new version soon,
with some restrictions.

Thank you. Works like a charm now!

[BUG] Hide the "download link" will show a warning
[NEW] Usergroup Permission Restriction

[ChurchMedia]

Works great now. Thanks!

[mlrst]

I installed everything correctly or so I think... however when I submit my thread, it just shows up as a link with the bbcode on each end. Almost as if absolutely nothing happens... looks like this.

http://domain.com/dir/file.wmv

and that's it, now errors or warnings, just text.

Thanks in advance, I can't wait to get this working...

[ChurchMedia]

Check your usergroup permissions. The same thing happened to me. When I changed those it worked great.

[silurius]

Check your usergroup permissions. The same thing happened to me. When I changed those it worked great.Could you explain this a different way? I also applied the update today and now get the following. I then saw your suggestion and updated one usergroup, but that did not affect anything and I wasn't sure what you meant above.

http://domain.com/dir/file.wmv

[hotwheels]

damn, this is a kick ass program............I too think this should be hack of the month. clicks *install*

[mlrst]

Check your usergroup permissions. The same thing happened to me. When I changed those it worked great.

What permissions would affect this? I posted as Admin if it helps... is there something added by the install that has to be included?

[mikeB]

Second problem: I turned off Autoplay, but a WMV still autoplays.

anyone solve this prob? it only happens to me in FF?
I find in FF that autostart=0 instead of autoplay=false is what works

any help is appreciated

[mlrst]

Ok I think I found the permission change, but now i get:

Error: Non supported media type.

I'm using IE and it's just a .wmv file... am I missing a player?

UPDATE: mp3's work...

[michaelsilvia]

I had the same problem viewing the video. You will have to set the user groups permission. After I changed the permissions it worked great! I have been wanting this for a long time!

This is by far one of the best hacks! Very simple and a great addition to any forum. Thanks for the great hack Crist!

Mike

[silurius]

I had the same problem viewing the video. You will have to set the user groups permission. After I changed the permissions it worked great!This is totally confusing me. I mean it's probably a given that most of us are logging in under an admin account, so what does it mean?

[chairman miaow]

Log into your admin control panel

Click on "Usergroups"

Then "Usergroup Manager"

This will display the various user groups - click on each "edit usergroup" button (or click the "Go" button) , then scroll to the bottom - there should be a section titled "AnyMedia BBCode Permissions"

Set the control to yes or no , depending on which usergroups you want to use the BB Code.

Repeat for each usergroup that you want to be able to use this hack (I believe every usergroup is set to "No" by default)

This is what my usergroup permissions screen looks like. At the very bottom. I did completetly re-hack when he changed it.

[Crist]

I'll refer to some docs and if it's really a problem,I'll fix it as soon.

UPDATE: mp3's work...
Whether the url (file) is end with ".wmv" ???
If not (such as "http://host/file?asfawgsavagasf"),
You must use a option to play it,
just like
http://host/file?asfawgsavagasf

[Crist]

Well, this is the problem then. I do not see anything remotely resembling "AnyMedia BBCode Permissions". I suppose I might need to uninstall and reinstall the hack again?
just upload the files again
and re-import the xml file.
then do change the usergroup permissions...

[Crist]

Do change the permission for every usergroup after you install the hack plz!

[silurius]

just upload the files again
and re-import the xml file.
then do change the usergroup permissions...Thanks, Crist. I tried that last night anyway and that was it.

Ok I'm stupid and lazy. How do I install this.

The button use to sign it as an installed hack for you,
but will never really install the hack for you.
You should download the hack to install by yourself,
it'll only take you a few minutes.

The problem is, I uploaded all the files, but I have no idea how to continue.

Getting the "Nonsupported Media Type" error when I use mpegs or wmv.

Have to use this tag: [MEDIA=0,0,0,wmv] to make it work.

Why won't the mpegs or wmv files work with just a simple [media] tag, as this was designed to do??

My MIME type for mpegs is: Content-type: video/mpeg
My MIME type for wmv is: Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv

Videos work fine with Links and Downloads Hack. Not sure why the windows media player is not automatically popping up with this one. Can we just use WMP for all video and audio files to keep this simple???

Thanks!
rich

EDIT: Upon playing with this, I've discovered that avi and wmv files work fine with the [media] tag.
mpeg, and mpg files, basically do nothing but show a blank "Any Media" box, with no player.
Hope this helps. Not sure what I've done wrong here.

mpegs is not a default supported extension.
You could use mpeg,
or u could edit the code to add this one.

we use QuickTime to play mpeg files by default.
If you want to use WMP for all videos (except for some certain types,such as rm and etc.), u could edit the code too.

Great, will install later.

[docvader]

Understand.

Since I'm technologically impaired here, can you please tell me what code to alter to force the browsers to use WMP for all the video files (mpeg and mpg).

And what part of China are you in? I've traveled the country extensively.

Edit the Code in class_bbcode.php

Search:


case 'mpeg':
case 'mpg':
case 'm1s':
case 'm1v':
case 'm1a':
case 'm75':
case 'm15':
case 'mp2':
case 'mpm':
case 'mpv':
case 'mpa':
$media['mime']='video/x-mpeg';
$media['type']='quick_time';
break;


Replace with


case 'mpeg':
case 'mpg':
case 'm1s':
case 'm1v':
case 'm1a':
case 'm75':
case 'm15':
case 'mp2':
case 'mpm':
case 'mpv':
case 'mpa':
$media['mime']='video/x-mpeg';
$media['type']='windows_media';
break;


Done.


I Live in Wuhan,
do you know it?
:)

[docvader]

OK, got it. Still doesn't work, but it's calling to windows media player in my source
case 'mpeg':
case 'mpg':
case 'm1s':
case 'm1v':
case 'm1a':
case 'm75':
case 'm15':
case 'mp2':
case 'mpm':
case 'mpv':
case 'mpa':
$media['mime']='video/mpeg';
$media['type']='windows_media';

Used mime type 'video/x-mpeg' also, to no avail. (I use 'video/mpeg', and other hacks work with this no problem)

Is there somewhere else (forum permissios) that I need to look at? I have overlooked something, somewhere, and I just know that it has to be something really simple... Usergroup permissions are set.

Never been to Wuhan. I train in gong fu in Henan, and have traveled western, northern, and a bit of eastern China quite a bit. Wonderful country. Just some absolutely incredible places to see and experience, especially Yunnan.

With 8 million people and lots of universities and a French consulate, Wuhan is a big industrial city in the central China, like Chicago in US. ;)

As to gong fu, you have made the right choice: Henan :rolleyes:

It's a Mozilla thing. I've done some investigating here, hope this helps:

When using Mozilla based Netscape Navigator

Pagesource when I use [MEDIA=0,0,0,wmv]: This works well, though it autoplays when it was told not to:

<!-- Windows Media -->
<object data="http://www.russbo.org/files/video/military/wmpruss.mpeg" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="640" height="480" class="player_mozilla">
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
</object>

<!--[if IE]>
<object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" width="640" height="480">
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="filename" value="http://www.russbo.org/files/video/military/wmpruss.mpeg" />
</object>
<![endif]-->

Pagesource when I use latest bbcode edited php file (to make it use WMP), your standard hack:This shows NO player and does not work:

<!-- Windows Media -->
<object data="http://www.russbo.org/files/video/military/wmpruss.mpeg" type="video/mpeg" width="640" height="480" class="player_mozilla">
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
</object>

When using Internet Explorer, your hack works perfectly, as written.

This is the page source:

<!-- Windows Media -->
<object data="http://www.russbo.org/files/video/military/wmpruss.mpeg" type="video/mpeg" width="640" height="480" class="player_mozilla">

It's a Mozilla thing. I don't know how to fix it, but, that's the problem.

Never been to Wuhan. Have a monk teacher/friend who teaches at their Wushu University there. I hear that it's an excellent sports university. My travels have taken me to Xinjiang, Yunnan, Tibet, Harbin, Xian, Huangshan/Guilin areas, among others. Definitelly have to return to Chengdu/Tibet/Yunnan part of your country. It is phenomenal!

[Crist]

I think you may add me to your msn list or etc.
I'll tell you how to handle the prob.

My contact method is in the zip file,
on the install guide page.

PS. I'm so glad to know that you like our country. :)

[chrisciardi]

this looks like a super complete hack, however, i cannot seem to get it to even show up on my board. everything installed per instructions but no media player. the only other hacks i use are vbportal and templates hack

Is it possible to have this not buffer the clip before loading the page? I'm noticing some long load times on pages that have good sized attachments.

[docvader]

chriciardi, look at my posts immediately above. You might have better luck changing the bbcode.php edit to use windows media instead of quicktime.

It is a fantastic hack, but I'm having mozilla issues with it. Nothing that can't be fixed, I'm sure.

[Andreas]

Suggestion to turn this into a Plugin


Put functions handle_bbcode_media() and format_size() into its own PHP file, place it in includes
Btw.: format_size() is redundant; vb_number_format() has a parameter to format the ouput as filesize.
Change the signature to

handle_bbcode_media(&$parser, $text, $options='')

Change all $this in function handle_bbcode_media() into $parser
Change the Plugin on bbcode_fetch_tags to have

'callback' => 'handle_external',
'external_callback' => 'handle_bbcode_media'

Also make sure you require the file with your functions here.


=> No more file edits.

I know it's on it's way - but the ability to restrict to particular forums would be terriffic!

[Crist]

Is it possible to have this not buffer the clip before loading the page? I'm noticing some long load times on pages that have good sized attachments.

Yes, there's a way.

W3C recommend us to use type="MIME" to call a media object.
It works well on Mozilla, Firefox, Opera and etc.

However, there's bug when we use IE to view it: It will download the whole file then play it. So you must wait for long before you could see the rest of the page.(You can even find that it sometimes display a blank object, it's another bug I think.)

So, to IE,
I use the traditional way to display it: just use the clsid.

Therefore,
It could be display perfectly on IE and other explorers.

So, if u don't care the bug,
just do as this:

edit the anymedia template

take adobe flash as example:

replace these codes

<object data="$media[url]" type="$media[mime]" width="$media[width]" height="$media[height]" class="player_mozilla">
<param name="play" value="$media[autoplay]" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
<!--[if IE]>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="$media[width]" height="$media[height]">
<param name="movie" value="$media[url]" />
<param name="play" value="$media[autoplay]" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
<![endif]-->


To


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="$media[width]" height="$media[height]">
<param name="movie" value="$media[url]" />
<param name="play" value="$media[autoplay]" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>


and replace these codes


<style type="text/css">
.player_mozilla{display:block;}

<!--[if IE]>

.player_mozilla{display:none;}

Just another noob requst: can you include a sript to delete those old media BBcode buttons(MP3, WMV, RM...) that are no longer useful? :nervous:

This is probably what I have been looking for.

But as a total noob I need som help to get it right.

I have followed the "How to install" guide as far as I can:

1.Extract and upload the files of the uploads folder;
Done!
2.Import the product-anymedia.xml in admincp;
Done!
3.Follow Templates Modifications, be careful and remember to save;
Done!
4.Follow Codes Modifications, be careful and remember to overwrite the old one;
Here is where I stop. What code is to be modified?
5.Log into the admincp and setup AnyMedia BBCode Options;
Can anybody tell me how to set up this?
6.Change the AnyMedia BBCode Permissions if it's necessary;
Ok. I'll do that later
7.Please read How to Use first;
Done. I think i will figure this one out.

swf media files work without a problem but when I try to play a wmv file nothing happens. The media player loads but the movie doesn't show. Is there something which I have to consider when playing wmv files?

thanks for your help

Edit:
Okay, it seems that this problem only occurs when using the Opera browser. That means no .wmv files in Opera!

Internet Explorer and Firefox works without any problems.

Latest version: I have the same issue with the mpegs not playing (it wants QuickTime, instead of Windows Media Player). Now, I hate Microsoft as much as anyone else, and I am an Apple afficionado, but, let's face it, WMP has beaten QT when it comes to widespread availability.

Can you make a product that forces videos, other than the usual Mac file formats, to use WMP?

Thanks! Hope all is well over there in Wuhan. I'll be there this summer.

Not getting a player.

And for some reason, when I type in a URL in IE advanced reply box, it automatically puts [url] tags on it, which annoys the player....

[Tulsa]

My question is on the autostart feature. I tossed up a wmv file to test with and that showed just fine but it seems to always autostart regardless of how I have the setting in the ACP.

Thoughts?

[lonelime]

same question above....

I dont want it autostart, how do i disable the autostart???

if possible, can this one setup like whole album song, instead of single, I can setup like 10 songs together, then i just click next song, and next song, thisone I have to setup single song on every page......

but anyway... this is really kool one i ever seen

thanks

Anyone figure out why Netscape Navigator is not pulling up WMP for mpegs? Editing the product.xml file doesn't pull up the player (though it does, flawlessly, in IE). Is there some simple setting that I'm missing somewhere?

I have the same use and I think that it?s not about the plugin but the navigator and the software that it takes to play the media which is different for each one


I leave another suggestion.
It would be great for me and my users to have the possibility to post online videos like YouTube and Google Video. In fact, I have done a bbcode for doing this and was so easy, as it?s only a piece of code and I think, that it would be implemented in your plugin easily. They booth have their own players and leave their code for putting it in your website, in fact you?re using the one from google video for the flv extension

Anyway thanks very much for that great plugin

[MarsNIIT]

Seem Whether to show the download link. not working.

I click property of this media still have link :(, not hide link

[Silvio]

Hi Crist,
Excuse my bad english, I hope is understandable
Little problem,
I upgraded your hack from 1.1 perfectly working on VB3.5.3 to anymedia1.2

1) unload old product-anymedia.xml (1.1)
2) removed modifcations on includes/class_bbcode.php File
3) uploaded and overwritten old files on my site from your new 1.2 Upload directory
4) reloaded new product-anymedia.xml (1.2)
5) set up all permissions on usergroup.

The medias posted with 1.1 are all working and visible, as are the one posted with new 1.2; But if I try to preview a post with a new media, then an issue is there.

here what happen (example)

1) I create a post
2) I insert the url where my media is, and in this example I insert : http://www.myurl.xyz/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf
3) I highlight it and then press on M picture of allmedia hack and it correctly write on the writing pane http://www.myurl.xyz/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf
4) press preview

It will show up 2 errors --> Error: Non supported media type.

If I look what happend to the code on my editing pane after preview, I can see that it was translated in an unspected way, and in the specific case will be :

http://www.myurl/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf[/url][url="http://www.myurl/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf"] (http://www.myurl/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf)

What I did wrong???


4B) If not preview is pressed but POST, then all seems to work great!

ciao and take care & ty for great hack!!

Edit : How is possible to :
Enable Users to see medias posted by authorized Users?
I do explain better: If I do not authorize a group, then that group wont see that media.
But if I want to let them see it and Just dont' post a media? how that could be possible?
again ciao & have fun

Nope sir i did not inserted any othr bbcodes. I inserted just 1 regular url to a flash file, then presse "preview" and it does all that. (pressing "post" wont do that).

2) I insert the url where my media is, and in this example I insert : http://www.myurl.xyz/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf


To be able to show you here what it was doing, I had to post it on a php tag, so vbull wont parse it and show to you what the result was.(*)


Ciao = Goodbye?
the only Italian word that I know.


Ciao is a very common italian word used in different occasion during talks between ppl (normally with friends and confidents, always in 2nd person singular)
it means both
1) ciao when u meet a person or when u start a phone call and is something like Hi, hallo
2) ciao when u leave a person or b4 hunging a phone call and in that case means bye

ciao ;)


(*) that also is 4 me very strange because if then I post here that "strange" triple url, vbull will parse it on a regular one even on code tag.
To show you that, I discovered that the only way was using php tag to paste here that "strange" issue, een now if i edit that post on edit pane will show up the regular one but you see all that confused url...
...that is matrixxxx -->red pill :D


again ciao

[Aerith_Freak]

Just a couple of suggestions.

1) Support for the Google Video .gvp extension and Google Player
2) Along with the restrictions, possibly make media entries show up as hyperlinks that when clicked on will open in a pop-up window where the media can be viewed - thus stopping people from raping page loading times with massively huge files etc or cluttering thread pages up with millions of files.

[chairman miaow]

I like the sound of those suggestions too !

[OrangeFlea]

Great hack.

1). Are there plans to support the .wav format? Many soundclips on the web are in this format, so I'd really to see it included.


2.) When posting media files, is there a way to have AnyMedia centered on the page by default?


3.) Is there a way to modify the code so that, instead of a default width/height, the tool would pick the ideal dimensions for the media file in question?

For example, when you embed different media with HTML, you cant use a default height and width because it won't look right from one format to the next (i.e. .wmv to .mov.). I discovered the best way to embed was to simply leave the height and width out and not specify, so the media would auto-size itself to the best fit.

Right now, I'm having trouble with the default setting when posting .mov files. Wmv. works great, but the default cuts off parts of some .mov files.

[Crist]

thanks for that reply.

problem I get is it just shows as the link, nothing else.

any ideas?

Have you changed the permissions?

And is the url valid?

[mr. visual]

This is a great hack! I just have one quick question - would it be possible to start with the media player collapsed so you have to click it to view the media?

[camp nou]

Will an upgrade to vBulletin 3.5.4 do anything with this Extention?

I had to reinstall it, but it works fine on 3.5.4 for me now.

[bglynn]

How can I default the media window to be collapsed? How can I change the window titel from AnyMedia to somethign else, such as Click For Video? I added a translation for anymedia_player, but it didn't change. I also tried removing the phrase call in anymedia template, but it's still there.

[Aeolian]

i need .wsx support for streaming..
this does not seem to work..

[bashy]

Workin well, thanks for this m8 :)

[Crist]

Just a couple of suggestions.

1) Support for the Google Video .gvp extension and Google Player
2) Along with the restrictions, possibly make media entries show up as hyperlinks that when clicked on will open in a pop-up window where the media can be viewed - thus stopping people from raping page loading times with massively huge files etc or cluttering thread pages up with millions of files.

1). is the gvp file played by the flv player?
if so,i'll add it into next version.

2). it's a good idea,
but I don't wanna add this into later version soonly.
:surprised:

[Crist]

Great hack.

1). Are there plans to support the .wav format? Many soundclips on the web are in this format, so I'd really to see it included.


2.) When posting media files, is there a way to have AnyMedia centered on the page by default?


3.) Is there a way to modify the code so that, instead of a default width/height, the tool would pick the ideal dimensions for the media file in question?

For example, when you embed different media with HTML, you cant use a default height and width because it won't look right from one format to the next (i.e. .wmv to .mov.). I discovered the best way to embed was to simply leave the height and width out and not specify, so the media would auto-size itself to the best fit.

Right now, I'm having trouble with the default setting when posting .mov files. Wmv. works great, but the default cuts off parts of some .mov files.

1.yes, I will add it into the next version.
2.To do this, You could use CENTER tag.
3.Okay,I'll try to fix it

[Crist]

This is a great hack! I just have one quick question - would it be possible to start with the media player collapsed so you have to click it to view the media?
I'll made a option for you to do this in the next version

[chairman miaow]

Cool.....can't wait for the updated version :up:

[Blackbeard]

just install on 3.5.4 and when i try to add a wvx file all i get is url.wvx

went into vboptions and went over anymedai options where else do i need to go to make this work

[Crist]

swf media files work without a problem but when I try to play a wmv file nothing happens. The media player loads but the movie doesn't show. Is there something which I have to consider when playing wmv files?

thanks for your help

Edit:
Okay, it seems that this problem only occurs when using the Opera browser. That means no .wmv files in Opera!

Internet Explorer and Firefox works without any problems.

Have problem with this in IE. I can hear sound, but picture dont show up.
I using latest version .

Looking at the pic you've attached , the viewer is "collapsed" - if you click the arrow on the right hand corner , it will show the full video player....or did you already do that ?

Strange bug here. I want to use this for MP3 playback only.

So I removed all but "mp3" from supported extensions, and Set "MP3" as the Tag name for the BBcode.

It works fine on creation of MP3 Playback links.

http://www.testforum/forums/mp3s/test.mp3


However, when I go to EDIT a post like this, in Firefox or Camino, the tag re-appears as "media:"

http://www.testforum/forums/mp3s/test.mp3


This doesn't happen in Safari, however... when I go to edit a link like this it remembers/respects the mp3 tag.

Anu clues as to what is going on here?

Quick question............I am still getting the error that this media isn't supported.........could you look at this and tell me what is wrong? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4965397551823343996&q=turbo+mustang

I am not sure why it isn't working. This is what is in the anymedia in my control panel; Supported extensions flv, swf, swf, spl, mov, qt, mqv, mpeg, mpg, m1s, m1v, m1a, m75, m15, mp2, mpm, mpv, mpa, flc, fli, cel, rtsp, rts, 3gp, 3gpp, 3g2, 3gp2, sdv, amc, mp4, sdp, rm, rmvb, ra, rv, ram, smil, mp3, wma, wav, ogg, ape, mid, midi, asf, asx, wm, wmv, wax, wvx, avi, pdf, fdf, xfdf, xdp, xfd, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, xpm, torrent, google, youtube, vsocial

[steffen.prd]

it's a google video?
or just a flv file?

thank you but i found the solution myself.

i integrated 2 new features:

With the first feature you can set if the player will be collapsed or not, without setting, the script will use your admin setting.

With the second feature you can set a pretitle.

Look at the screenshot to see a examples and pls excuse me for my bad english :)

ex:
url_of_media_file

yes its possible, open the template anymedia and search the accordingly code and remove it, or replace it with you favourite code.

That doesn't work as i been monkeying with that template, and believe it or not, i removed all the ccode in that template, and believe it or not the mod worked still! I looked up and that template is for vbadvanced!

by me it works without problems. you have to change already existed postings that the changes are getting works.

You could edit it by yourself

Edit the "clientscript/anymedia.js"
find:

if (is_ie) {
var result = '<object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" ';

result += '<param name="filename" value="' + src + '" />';
result += '</object>';
} else {
var result = '<object data="' + src + '" type="' + mime + '" ';
result += 'width="' + width + '" height="' + height + '">';
result += '<param name="autoplay" value="' + autoplay + '" />';
}
document.getElementById('anymedia_container_' + id).innerHTML = result;

Replace with
