Video Club (YouTUBE, Vimeo, DailyMotion etc)

[paradoxG(r)eek]

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Video Club
Fetch Videos from many Providers with URL
since ver. 1.2.0 you can also embed any valid video code


Things to know !!!


If your site is SSL and you try to show a video from a non SSL site, video should not works.
If you can't show YouTUBE videos, most probably your API key is wrong. Be sure that you've setup correct the API key and it is ver. 3. Here is a good tutorial (https://www.slickremix.com/docs/get-api-key-for-youtube/).
If you see strange characters in the text, the problem is character encoding. Even in English, if you're using iso-8859-1 but the video provider uses UTF-8 should have some problems. But you can edit the text, so not so important issue.

1.- What's this?

Video Club is a Video Gallery mod for your community. It's easy to use and has a nice interface. User just needs to enter a link to the video and set a category. All others done automatically. For comments supports Thread per video but also the well known Disqus external commenting system. I strongly recommend you to use Disqus as it's very social and soon you'll see an increment amount of pageviews.

5.- PRO Version

After many years I decided to use PRO version not as a way not to earn money (I don't expect to have more than 10 sales), but rather to find a way to pay for some commercial scripts that I want to use in the PRO version (Distribution License). The follow features will be in the PRO version:


Extra Providers

Facebook
LiveLeak.com
OpenLoadMovies.com


Videoplayer with support for prevideo ads
Better carousel for latest videos at top
Video search in multiple providers
Many notifications
Brand free

Thank you for releasing Chris would you link me to the pro version please.

At this moment, there is no pro version :) .... If I see that there is interest from vB3 users, I'll release it. Otherwise, step by step, I'll add those extra features for free.

Installed on test site. Love it.
I have another video library addon installed that uses video.php so, I changed your video.php to videoclub.php and edited all files with video.php in it to videoclub.php, all works well.

Having a few issues though.

Preview Thumbs are not rendering.
Threaded discussion does not show the video in the new thread.

[paradoxG(r)eek]

Preview Thumbs are not rendering.


What exactly does it means? They don't appear at all or they don't appear well?
If it's the first keep in mind that the script tries to get the high quality thumb and if it does not exists then tries for medium quality. If nothing exists then does not fetches anything as the default thumb is very poor quality. In this case you've the option to upload you own thumb.


Threaded discussion does not show the video in the new thread.
Is not a bug but rather the way that mod has coded. Thread is just for discusssion. Many mods are adding even some short part of the text instead of full description. If I add the video there, then, be sure that nobody will visits the video page.

Preview Thumbs are not rendering.

I added a video to both this addon and the one I am using atm. This addon does not show a preview thumb but, only on select videos. Mine however shows a thumb for all videos.
I added a few to your test board that did not show thumbs.

Same video both addons

Created Thread both addons

I know what you are saying about the video club not being visited but, I don't have that problem. Only a few use it anyway and like the vids to show and rarely discuss them.

Please upload the attached file to videoclub/includes/ and let me know if it fetches thumbnail in videos that it was not fetching before.

[paradoxG(r)eek]

Ignore the file before, does not works. Use the new one here. But as I said the quality is low.

I'm trying to add your 2nd request but I'm not familiar with bbcode. I tried:

[...VIDEO]LzUQZw3wfro[.../VIDEO]
[..video=youtube;LzUQZw3wfro]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzUQZw3wfro[../video]

but none seems to work.

Another great job for vb 3.x! Thanks for that! Is it responsible under a responsible style, Chris?

Thank you for your supporting words. Really appreciated. Even if my templates are having standard vB syntax I think that they're not responsive. vB3 uses tables instead of blocks.

Also one responsive style that I found for vB does not makes all stylevars responsive. Actually it adds new stylevars instead to modify the current. That's why none mod can be responsive.

I'm thinking to restart operating my vB site. If I see that there is interest from vB3 users for new mods, I'm willing to code some of my most popular vB4 mods for vB3. Video Club released for this reason "To test the water" :)

Thank You! Please do, it's very useful.
Is it possible to edit video description by user? Change URL of deleted video, without removing page?

Yes, is possible to edit most of the data (Title, Description, Thumbnail), but sorry can't change URL. Is against TOS of video providers. You've the right to show only the video. Not to download or save in your own site.

I mean, when video is unavailable on youtube, i can only delete page in your mod, and create a new one. It's bad for SEO.

That's the meaning of "Hide" option instead Delete. Hidden pages are still there for poster and for moderators.
