Live Demo:
Passive Video 2.00 (http://scriptasy.com/general-chat_27/passive-video-2-0-a_133.html)
Full Version:
Get the full version of Passive Video 2.00 here (http://scriptasy.com/product.php?p=1)
Description:
Version 2.00 is a major step up from the older versions (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150761).
The main difference in 2.00 is the way it works, before PassiveVideo would make the server do all the work. Now 99% of the work is pushed onto the clients machine.
Another major difference is the amount of control Passive Video gives the Admin and User.
Oh and i almost forgot, the embedding is now done with swfObject 2.0 so now you can globally control settings like wmode and it should work in all browsers now.
Admins can now Enable/Disable videos per forum and per usergroup.
Users can now Enable/Disable video embedding too.
2.00 is a COMPLETE REWRITE!
Works With:
vBulletin [3.6.X to 3.7.2]
vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]
Passive Video Lite Supported Video Sites:
YouTube v2.00
Google Video v2.00
Yahoo Video v2.00Passive Video Full Supports Many More Video Sites.

May have already been asked, but I assume if we uninstall the older version (PassiveVid 1.1.2 is what I have) and install this that all older links to videos will still work without any modifications to older posts etc?
Thx.
Coders Shack
08-24-2008, 02:53 PM
note: ill make a more detailed post in the future
Ok some video sites like Break.com require more information that what is provided in the basic URL to create an Embed. In order to get this info your server snags it from the video site upon submission of a post or thread or edit.
So previous sites may not work yet, because i haven't added support for them.
One way to fix an old post @ the moment is to re-save it, and that would force the server to re-parse it.
I do plan on adding the ability to support the old URL format of 1.X

And your using Firefox? Hmmmm, I have 2GB of ram on this laptop.
I have another question. I use VBSEO on my site and some links get converted into descriptive URLs instead of embedded videos. I know this isn't really your problem but wondered if you had a quick fix?

youtube works fine from past videos because youtube has done a good job @ providing all the info you need in the urls.

1) to request sites submit them here: http://scriptasy.com/project.php?do=issuelist&projectid=4&issuetypeid=feature
2) you need to uninstall it.

the Screen Shots are of Passive Video FULL not LITE. The only difference between the two is the amount of sites it supports, and the amount of support you will receive. as for the 2 videos did you uninstall the previous version?

Great work on 2.0, but I prefer the 1.12 version. I am a big fan of v1.12, and I hope you continue to support it. I chose your system over others, because it was very "passive", and easy for my users to add videos. Thanks again for such a great mod. :)

v1.12 is no longer supported
there are many reasons for this, mainly its extremely sloppy and hogs system resources.

Hello.
I found a small bug, on [passive video][profile] hooks plugin. You should add the phrases on the phrase system and not directly inside the code. This way users running vBulletin on a different language can translate the text in a better way, without the need of actually editing the source-code.

I have tried to edit the post, and re-insert the link and still got nothing.
What am I doing wrong?

ok, I figured it out. with this update I have to click on the insert link button, then copy & paste the code into it.
with 1.12 I could just copy & paste the url into the reply box.
working great now though.

I can't get this to work for new Videos..
I have uninstalled FULLY old version, installed, rebuilt and the old url's work fine but if anyone posts a new youtube url it doesn't work.
Checked usergroup and forum permissions and all is fine there..
Am I doing anything wrong, I'm eager to get this working as I will upgrade to the full version then!
EDIT: I have found the source of the problem and it's a conflict with how vBSEO handles urls, if you re-edit the url and take out the stuff vbSEO puts in it works fine..
Is there a fix for this? or i'll have to go back to original version.

I'm getting a bit of a problem with the Full 2.0 version where the videos don't seem to go past 2 seconds in Firefox. It works fine with IE and on your demo site with FF but not mine.
I've followed the instructions, rebuilt forum info etc. Any ideas?
http://www.guildinn.com/forum/off-topic/14753-favorite-youtube-videos.html
Here's the source of the problem: the Yahoo event script conflicts with the object & embed tags for embedding media players in Firefox 2. The problem does not exist in Firefox3 or IE7 - testing on Windows XP. To read more about the bug, see:

ok some of you guys are shocked that some videos are not getting parsed.
just remember this, this is an example of what this mod does (at a basic level):
http://www.site.com/?videoid=3023943
now i need javascript to run a match and find the video id number
can you see why out of the box if the url structure changes in any way it wont match so:
http://www.site.com/index.php?videoid=3023943
wont work unless made to.
So you can see how it can be difficult to support every site right away. This will take time to slowly support them all.
(I'm trying my best @ the moment, just report the exact URLs that wont embed and ill fix them)

If I post a link to a youtube video (after installing the lite version) and I hit preview it looks great !! But after I submit the post only has a clickable text link with the description of the video.

Ditto, getting duplicates here too. Apparently it has to do with the poster using the "insert link" button. Or something. If I manually edit the posts and remove everything except the youtube link it works fine.
I doubt we're going to alter user's habits, so we may have to make the mod deal with url= links.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VT11GGD7qlIIt seems to be working here. I mean, I can't get the embed to playback full screen (that's the point of an embed I guess), and the higher res doesn't help much in a little window, but the URL is being converted properly.
e.g.: "http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yZCrIeRkMhA&fmt=18" becomes:

I have been a big fan of this mod under 3.6.x, and was using that version. Saw this one for 3.7.x and installed it (with the intent of purchasing this full).
When installed, 2.0 induced a problem with post previews, resulting in the following error when using the preview function:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in ...public_html/vBforum/includes/functions_newpost.php(1174) : eval()'d code on line 1
The line error varied, but it was always resultant in this error when previewing.
First disabled this plugin, it resulted in preview working again with no error. Posting continued to work fine, without issue, even if preview was attempted.
Ended up uninstalling this version, and going back to the 3.6.x version, until this can be resolved.

quick note
http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/disable+related+videos+embedded+youtube+player
to disallow related videos, append &rel=0 to the url.
however,
this mod does not cater for the & after the video id code.
should be easy to fix.

I've run out of ideas on how to fix a problem with this new Lite version. About an hour ago all my YouTube posts are showing two of the exact same URL post, i.e. two players in the same post of the exact same URL.
Example: http://www.thekaraokesinger.net/forums/showthread.php?p=139#post139
But here http://www.thekaraokesinger.net/forums/showthread.php?t=83 where I posted a (my first) URL when I had the last version of passiveVid - (YouTube, Myspace, Google...) Not BBCODE :D installed. I since uninstalled it per instructions and installed the Lite version and followed the instruction to rebuild the forum information. The first post I made using Lite seemed to work okay and I then deleted the test post but then after that it went to making double images of the player in the same post as show in the examples I showed above after that.
Anyone have a clue? I've uninstalled it twice, rebuilt the forum info each time and then reinstalled it again twice and rebuilt the forum info with the exact same results. If all else fails I will go back to using the previous (older) version even though I really don't want to do that if I don't have to. At least I know that works flawlessly for me. Any clues? I'm hoping it is something that I did wrong perhaps. If it helps I uploaded the first time the folder Upload/ but later deleted the folder as I did first misunderstand the instructions to just upload the contents instead. :rolleyes:

I think there's a known bug when people try to use URL tags with it. I mean, look back a couple pages and you'll see I had those double players too. Maybe I still do in older posts, but when I edited the new ones to just have the youtube link by itself they worked fine.

Yes, so I had to make a choice and stick with the older Passive Video, and Automatic Thread Tagger. I want both, so I'll sick with what I have until one or the other is fixed so I can use version 2.0.

I went ahead and uninstalled version 2.0 Lite due to the double posting of the image of the player bug and will reinstall it when the double posting of YouTube links get resolved or worked out. It is a fine product but it still needs some work before it is ready for prime time. At least on my forum and apparently some others as well. When it is finally fixed and has proven itself I will purchase it. Thanks.

Untagging, uninstalling 1.1.2...
Maybe the coder is on vacation, who knows. Coders Shack mods are typically real tight, but this version for 3.7.x has issues, as many have noted. Quite unfortunate, as this was my choice of mods for video rendering from other sites. Switched to another due to these issues.

I have tried using the embedded code like :
<object width="470" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x6iow3"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x6iow3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="470" height="400" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
But that does not work.
So I want to take the videos in my own site, and spread them around in my forums as well.

ok, I figured it out. with this update I have to click on the insert link button, then copy & paste the code into it.
with 1.12 I could just copy & paste the url into the reply box.
working great now though.
thanks.
I'm not gonna switch from 1 to 2 if people have to use Insert Link. That is irrelevant in the long scheme of things since then it's requiring tags and BB code to post the video, which is not what the old version did.

Well he claimed he hadn't seen his woman in a while and I can understand that, but still if you're gonna sell something even at 5 bucks, it's gotta work. Plus I don't see why the upgrade of the product actually makes less things work. Especially if you bought the Pro version.
I only need cnn.com added and I'm set, we don't allow our users to have all the options this thing allows anyway, as we can't have porn stuff all over our site for example.

There is an issue with this mod and vBSEO (Lite & Pro). Reported fix for 2.0.1 on 8.24ish which is aorund the last time I have seen Chad post. Anyone know him and can contact him?
Edit:
Until the author resurfaces I sould suggest reading both the threads here and at his site to determine if any of the known bugs might effect you.
Does this modification works as is? Yes
Are there some issues? Yes
Does the Pro version work? Yes
Are there some issues? Yes
Would never have purchased the pro version knowing the author was MIA and resolutions to the issues were in limbo. Hopefuly he will come back in force and will get back on track with this great mod.
Until then YMMV

There have been many posts with issues with Chad's software. Unfortunatly though his site shows he has recently logged in he has not replied to any public posts for a long time. Like you I made the purchase and quickly found there were some issues. Started reading throuhg posts and found it was not just me. Unfortunatly also found out support was non-existant as of late. Too bad as I ran his mods in the past and have worked exceptionaly well and wanted to support his efforts.
Hopefully Chad will resurface and be able to fix the few issues. Until then I have unistalled and went with "the other" solution on vborg.

The upload folder contains 2 directories: clientscript & includes
Both these directories exist in your VB directory and should be copied up.
for example if your forums are located at: http://www.YouDomain.com/forums/
Then you copy the 2 directories to forums/clientscript & forums/includes
Then go toy our ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products and add/import this file: product-passivevideo.xml
Unfortunatly the author is MIA so support will be minimal except for those of us that pass by from time to time in hopes he returns. There is another solution here that seems to be well supported and covers many more media types. In the mean time good luck with your forums and hope this got you up and running :)

using lite.. it worked for awhile.. But then it just stopped
Now it parses the youtube url as if trying to link to it using BB url tags.. but now hypertext words that follow the link
example
when I try tp post this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G61d0feaIg
for one it won't let me post the link alone.. like I used to. so now I have to add a description in the boby of the tread..
but when I do.. the link comes out blank
and when I click on edit.. it looks like this
Edit..I have to break up the link for it to be shown
[u r l= http :/ / ww w.yout ube.com/watch?v=1G61d0feaIg][/url]
Now if I disable the plugin, then clean out the url bb tags .. make the post.. It comes up like a link..
Then enable the plugin again and go back to the thread..
It comes up as it should.
I have vbseo installed, but that was even prior to the installation of the mod.. It worked at first and now.. It's a pain in the ass..
While I know what to do..The members can't post any links to any videos.. They just don't work.. unless I disable and enable the plugin all the time.. That just isn't going to happen..
I really do like this mod!! Just wish there were solutions to the problems

If this is a free addon to vBulletin, why do you post the full version details? Isn't just a simple link to spam your commercial site enough? It is misleading that the post has the "specs" of the full version. Kind of makes this CLEARLY just be a 'quick little lite' thing that's totally useless, just trying to get money.
I am sorry, but I am principle about this and can't support it. Decided against installing it, because it feels it's just meant to push users to buy the full version. If you want to advertise your product why not just go to a site and pay for the ad slot?

Anybody tried or try this great mod:

Instead of this one.
Maybe that could be our option for now.

That's interesting. Why didn't you decide not to install it because it doesn't work? I'm guessing because you didn't read all the pages of posts? Nobody does.
We need a quarantine for non-functioning mods.
good point and for non functioning coders, as well.

Please be aware that vB.org is not the place to discuss any commercial versions. Please only discuss the free available version as released in this thread.
That would be a problem since you are allowing him to advertise his product. I agree with Floris that the lite version is nothing more than an attempt to get members to buy a non supported version. If you do not allow members to warn potential buyers, you are actually assisting him ripping off your members.
If you do not allow commercial product discussions within this forum, you should also not be allowing members to post commercial product details for so called "lite" versions.

While the pro version has a great price point, it just does not work if you use VBSEO.
I'm going to dig a bit more, but if I can't find a solution, I'm going to downgrade and seek a refund. =(

Sadly, I didn't read through this entire thread before purchasing this software on the coder's site on August 2.
Support is totally unavailable. I went to the coder's forum to see if I could find answers for the problem of double-posting videos and saw that several other people had requested support for the same problem without ever even getting the courtesy of a reply.
On Aug 2, the same day I purchased it, I left a message on the coder's forum requesting my money back: http://scriptasy.com/passive-video_51/please-refund-my-money_575.html
It's a week later now and still not a word., nor a penny back.
BUYER BEWARE.
I'm going to complain to Vbulletin requesting that coders who sell their products not be allowed to hawk their products here.
Shameful and totally unethical.

Go for it. I too have suggested (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=210013) there should be a procedure to send unsupported mods to the Mod Graveyard. I was just told people need to read all the posts in a mod before they install it.
Of course, when a popular mod doesn't work, that fact gets buried under pages of help requests, and few people are willing to read all that.

Its pretty sad that vbulletin.org is still leaving this up so we are still getting ripped off. I got ripped off by this guy a few months ago and still have not received my money back. I clicked the link from this forum. No where else. So why does VB.org staff continue to let this happen?

Totally Agree
I have just purchased Passive Video 2.0 & installed it correctly on vBulletin 3.8.3
Not Working for me ? minor problem probably, but - $5 excellent price - No Support whatsoever tho - Coder's forum, full of purchasers requesting advice/help/refunds. Hijacked threads advertising viagra; rediculous posts not related to the product = whats happened ?
If a product is promoted in the way this is; customers should have their questions answered, but to "Take your Money and Run !!!" leaves customers extremely frustrated.
$5- received from a large customer base, amounts to a substantial profit.
I only post my concerns as i see them; so others have the choice of purchasing the product - with the knowledge - that i have experienced along with others.:confused:

This mod is not working properly. It hasn't worked properly since the day it was last updated. There is no support here or at their own website. Do not buy it. Do not install it. If, like me, you did both, then uninstall it and learn a lesson and move on.

Thanks!

I have tracked down the only instance of youtube.com to this array:
$passivevideo_sites = array(
array ( // google
'd' => 'video.google',
'm' => 'http://video.google.(?:[a-z]{2,3}|co.uk)/videoplay\?docid=([0-9_-]+)',
'e' => 0
),
array ( // yahoo
'd' => 'video.yahoo.com',
'm' => 'http://video.yahoo.com/watch/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)',
'e' => 0
),
array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://(?:[a-z]{2,3}.)?youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0
)
);
inside functions_passivevideo.php
So it appears that the video must be in the
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StNMmOd4d9E
But what I really need is the word watch to be optional..
http://youtube.com/?v=StNMmOd4d9E
I tried changing the code to:
http://(?:[a-z]{2,3}.)?youtube.com/(watch)?\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})[/CODE]
Now it seems that
http://youtube.com/?v=StNMmOd4d9E
Does not show up at all as the text portion of the url is missing.
So I wonder how I would add watch if it did not exist? is this possible in RegEx?

Mick I found the solution for AME,,, but now I need to fix the sudden youtube code issue in Passive Video Premium. I note that you think the issues is here?
array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://(?:[a-z]{2,3}.)?youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0
)
I'll bet Ted may know over at Cracked Egg?
++++++++
Why wouldn't changing this to, lets say?
array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0
)
or
array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://{param}youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0

No?
What is this called anyway, a definition?
AME appears to use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\1

11-30-2009, 07:23 PM

Because youtube changed something in the way it's delivered and the passive video has to be updated in the youtube code to reflect that change... and its not.

I disabled all plugins before the installation. It took a few days to get the style redone to fit the 4.0 design, and then I tested the plugins to see which ones worked. This one did not require any changes -- not that I'm capable of fiddling with the code anyway except for very, very minor stuff.

I installed the PassiveVideo200_Lite and it failed to work, again. So I uninstalled it as I did when I was using vB 3.8 because it wouldn't work with it either and then installed passiveVid 1.1.2 and it is working also as it did when I was using vB 3.8. Thanks for trying it out and reporting on it.
OBTW. I have a number of mods installed and I did not uninstall anything. I just did a typical install on top of all my others and it works. It does leave the YT URL link on top but I can live with that.

Go to manage plug ins -- edit parse_templates
Copy the code in plugin to Word Pad
Replace all

with
src='{$vbulletin->options['bburl']}/clientscript
I hope this save people the time I could have saved with clear instructions somewhere.
