Playing Windows Media Files Inline Using Plugin

[Moya]

This just an upgrade over from my existing hack HERE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=774978#post774978)
to use plugin system for vb3.5 gold


What this hack does::

This hack allows your users to upload media files via your board file management and play the media fields within their post.. It is adivisable to have one inline per post.


Foreword:

This hack might not work on all system due to different configuration, platform, and such. I will try to help you all as much as I can.

This hack will use your board attachment system to run mp3, wma, wmv, flash files. It is a bit server intensive. So be warned

Security Risk:

It has been known that flash files can be used to exploit and compromise certain securities on user computer. You might want to verify your flash attachment before enable flash playing inline on your forum.

If you use this hack please click install.


As christianb mentioned in the other post, you might need to setup attachement types for your forum to play properly.



Use the following for your types


WMA ? Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
WMV ? Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv
MP3 ? Content-type: audio/x-mp3
SWF ? Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash
AVI ? Content-type: video/x-ms-avi
MOV ? Content-type: video/quicktime
MP4 ? Content-type: video/quicktime
MPEG ? Content-type: video/mpeg
MPG ? Content-type: video/mpeg
RAM ? Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
RM ? Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
SWC ? Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash



NOTE: This hack use your board attachment.php to play those specified media files. Therefore, you will have to set up user right to download attachement in under forum permissions.


mov, mpeg, mpg, mp4, wma, real, wma, wmv, avi

Can I take a look at your link? What browser are you using? Firefox is tempermental with plugins?

[cbr929rrerion]

Ill send you a pm..

Sent.. I appreciate your help...

[Snake]

Thanks!

[rb290]

do you have to install any of the previous versions for this one to work ?

[Moya]

If you have never have this installation, then you are fine. If you have the code modification version, you will have to remove those code and postbit template modification.

With the update to 3.5.1, this hack should work fine.

[NuclioN]

Have this error when uploading swf: Imageinfo Failed

[Moya]

Have this error when uploading swf: Imageinfo Failed

I think this server issue or something within vb code. You should consult vb.com :nervous:

[davidw]

This is kinda weird

What would cause the audio or video to not show up at all if the code is placed in postbit_attachment
however, if the same code, minus the <tr> and <td> tags are placed back in the postbit_legacy the same audio or video is displayed twice?

[cbr929rrerion]

Stitch.. have you had a chance to look at my site yet?

[Moya]

Stitch.. have you had a chance to look at my site yet?


Hi cbr929rrerion,

I look at your forum last night. I couldn't have access to your templates setting. It looks like I only have mod rights.

I tried to upload an wma file, but your forum didn't have wma turn on.

[Moya]

Uhmm I don't have that problem on my board.

[cbr929rrerion]

I will go fix that, and give you the rights you need.. sorry

********* FIXED ***********

I will look into your site tonite.

[davidw]

I'm going to look at it again tomorrow - gotta be something that's causing this issue. Of course, I went back and removed all instances as if I were starting from scratch. :)

[Moya]

Did you have a source code modification version? I disable the plug in and it works.

I think you should use file system for attachment.

[cbr929rrerion]

wow.. I woke up this morning to working media..

Thank you so much.. that rocks.. I appreciate all your help..

I do have 1 request and 1 concern..

1) How can I make it not auto start.

2) If you click the link under the video as to download it, if gives you a bunch of gibberish code...

again thanks for all you have done...

[cbr929rrerion]

well I tried to upload and avi file and all it gave me was the link, it did not play inline, all i do is type my message, click manage attachements, upload it and press submit..

do I have to do anything special to get it to play inline?

Can you try to upload 1 of each file type and see if it works and also check the link code at the bottom... it says the file name but when ya click it ya get gibberish...

[davidw]

I have the file system for attachments (as opposed to database) - I had removed all entries (or commented out, I should say) in the file edits regarding the previous version.

I'll have some time in a little bit to check it out again.

When it gives gibberish, it means that it try to use browser to open the file data stream. I have test out the avi on my board.



The avi was added for the 0 file edit version. To be able to play this avi, open includes/class_postbit

Look for Case 'wmv':

and add case 'avi':

under that one.

BTW: You should move your attachements to file system. Uploading and storing media files on your database will cause stress on your db.

To stop the auto playing, look for autostart = 1 under each attachment template and put it equals 0

Hi Christianb,

Did you do any mod to class_postbit, other than this hack? If you you didn't, then the easiest way is the replace this file with the file from your download package from vbulletin.

[davidw]

I posted a reply after you tested.
This morning I had replaced the files with my original (before I used the other inline hack) and tried from fresh using this hack (no file edit) - I'll have to check (go through my installs) and see if any I have used incorporated this file.

[cbr929rrerion]

its still not working.. any ideas? I can upload them but the do not play inline?

[Moya]

its still not working.. any ideas? I can upload them but the do not play inline?

It is playing on my browser

Have fun

[cbr929rrerion]

Ok.. I uploaded a .avi, .mp3, .wma, .wmv, and .swf and only .wma works, avi just shows as attached and a link, mp3, wmv, show nothing and swf shows wierd text on post, Window Media Audio »

Please help..

I will try and move to file system now..

[cbr929rrerion]

its playing on your browser on your site.. not your browser my site.

Same thing as Chirstianb, can your use unmodified class_postbit.php, if you don't have other hack that use this file.

[cbr929rrerion]

where is that located... I will see if its been changed

[cbr929rrerion]

in my postbit template the only change besides my images (for my style) is this..

<if condition="$show[wmaattachment]">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[attach_wma] $wmafilename</legend>

<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
$post[wmaattachments]
</div>
</fieldset>

</if>

[davidw]

I'm fixing to upload a fresh copy of the class_postbit and try it again from scratch.

[cbr929rrerion]

well.. I found the file you mean.. Im not sure what has been altered, I have a hack to play video inline in the gallery, not sure if thats there or where.. I can send you the file..

[davidw]

Ok, I think I found the offending issue:
It works now.
The problem was fixed after I removed the PM attachments plugin (it didn't work anyways). Once I removed that plugin, the test MP3 showed up inline. I installed the product and it worked. Now, to make XML edits for wav files.

[cbr929rrerion]

I have the pm attachement also but mine works.. Humm...

[davidw]

Could be a conflict then ...

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. its working but I got 2 displays with every upload.. first it was none.. now 2 of everything...lol

[Moya]

I haven't try the pm attachment yet.

Cbr,

You can test it by turn off the pm attachment feature temporary.

[davidw]

I had that issue earlier (you're catching up :D )

[cbr929rrerion]

its working but showing doubles again

[cbr929rrerion]

I have 2 inline attachements, 1 is a plugin, 1 is a product..

If I turn one or the other off It all works except AVI, if both are active AVI works but I get doubles of other stuff.. which one is yours .. a product or plug in?

[cbr929rrerion]

I just uninstalled one of them.. can you go look at it now.. it looks like its looking for how to open and just leaves a link.. thanks...

[Moya]

Mine is product. The pm attachment is a plugin

[cbr929rrerion]

correct, I uninstalled one that was a plug in that was causing the doubles.. it works on all the file types now except avi, I loked over the xml and there is a embed for all file types excpt avi, can you check that or take a look at it now to see if it can play avi..

my site is mainly video, avi, mpg, mpeg, wmv, etc..

the mp3, wmv, wma, swf work now.. but avi dont.. its the biggie.. or even mpg/mpeg would be good...

thank you sooooooooooo much for your help.

[Moya]

uhmmm I might have to take a look at your class_postbit template

[Moya]

Let me have ftp access rights.

Gosh your board looks really good with window media player version 9 and later

[cbr929rrerion]

send me an email to rick@crotchrocketracing.com

[Moya]

Uhmmmm don't post that file up here. Check out your video forum

[cbr929rrerion]

DUDE... You are the bomb... I mean serious... everything works... I can play video inline and also send them and they play inline in private messages...

So now I have inline video in my gallery, in my post and in private messages...

I only know you by stitch but you are awesome. I never expected this kind of support or effort. I never could have done it with out your help. You are a "Example" of perfection.

I hope those that run and visit this site know how valuable you are and you have really impressed me.

If there is anything I can do for you let me know..

You rock...

[cbr929rrerion]

humm.. ok.. on avi it loads 2 ... one named mp3 one named avi...

double display 1 upload.. did ya notice that?

[Moya]

What happen was that you still have the old file modification code from the old version. I removed that and enable the plugin.

I also fix the double avi for you. It was a typo that I have in the code.

I am glad that you like this hack. Have fun!!

[cbr929rrerion]

How can I fix or get rid of the link, its all gibberish still.. any idea?

[Moya]

How can I fix or get rid of the link, its all gibberish still.. any idea?

It means that the browser is trying to open the file.

[redspider]

stitch any chance you can come to my forum and find why is not working for me ?
TIA

[Moya]

stitch any chance you can come to my forum and find why is not working for me ?
TIA

Can you give the link :nervous:

[cbr929rrerion]

any chance ya got mpeg to work? you can replace mp3 for mpeg ..

[Moya]

any chance ya got mpeg to work? you can replace mp3 for mpeg ..


I left you a note in admincp.

Basically, you board now support

mov, mpeg, mpg, mpa, mp4, swf, swc, wma,wmv, avi,mp3

mov, and mp4 are apple quick time. Your members have to have the plugin installed

Your board has a max upload size = 2mb. I suggest that you should increase this size. I have on my board for like 45MB.

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. where would i find those notes..lol

[cbr929rrerion]

this is what I get with mov files

[cbr929rrerion]

mpeg works but does doubles...

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. they all work except mov, it dont work at all, close but no.. mpg and mpeg does work but you get doubles...

and the attached shows what I get on some other ones, the lines under them./.. Can you take a look please.. thanks

[Moya]

ok.. they all work except mov, it dont work at all, close but no.. mpg and mpeg does work but you get doubles...

and the attached shows what I get on some other ones, the lines under them./.. Can you take a look please.. thanks

I will take a look when I have a chance. Maybe over the weekend though :D :D

[redspider]

Can you give the link :nervous:
I will send you a pm with link and login.

[cbr929rrerion]

as soon as you can would be appreciated.. thanks..

[Moya]

I will send you a pm with link and login.


Done!

Take a look

[Moya]

as soon as you can would be appreciated.. thanks..

Done! I have to change the admin pannel to silver background because I couldn't recognized the selected text vs the background

[cbr929rrerion]

OK... It will not upload wmv at all, goes thru process and disappears..

so far mpg, mpeg and avi do work

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. I take that back.. it took a file size 345kb but tried one 3.5mb and it dont, I have it set to 5mb

[Moya]

It is the max file upload size restriction on your site. It only allow 2MB. This is the setting within php.ini. It is server level. If you have access to this php.in, then change the setting anhd restart your server.

[cbr929rrerion]

same think with mov files size 4.5mb

[cbr929rrerion]

where is that located, in my admin or where?

[Moya]

It should be under your php directory or window directory

[cbr929rrerion]

mov files still dont work.. not even a play button.. please go look

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. they all work except mov, it loads a box but nothing in it and no play buttons..

[Moya]

ok.. they all work except mov, it loads a box but nothing in it and no play buttons..

It is playing. Here is what i see on your site

[cbr929rrerion]

how come my browser will not let me see it?

[cbr929rrerion]

Ok.. I updated to the latest quicktime version and it plays now, only problem is there are no buttons to start, stop, etc.. I want it not to be autostart and the user click it..

Last request and I will leave ya alone.. lol

You have been an awesome help and have gone above and beyond helping me.

You truely are an inspiration...

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. I downloaded firefox and the buttons are there in firefox but not in ie.. ? Ideas?

** update**
I set it to not autostart and it will not auto start in IE, but no controller bar..

Firefox there is a controller bar but it auto starts...

any ideas?

[Moya]

Honestly, I don't have understand this myself. I think this the problem with plugin in I.E. I have the same problem.

[cbr929rrerion]

Stitch.. I went into the Quicktime player, and set it not to auto start.. and now it works perfectly on firefox but still no control bar on IE and IE autostarts even tho is set to false.

I have no clue, I dont want it eating band with everytime someone opens the thread. not sure where to go from this point..

[Moya]

I try to open yours site on my computer and experience the same problem. However, I didn't have have that problem when I open my my site on different computer. Among other things, I think this is server related. I couldn't figure it out.

[cbr929rrerion]

thats fine.. I appreciate all your help.. Now I am trying to find out how to get my home page aligned left again.. I messed around and centered it and apparently no one has a clue how I can fix it..

[davidw]

I was thinking it might be something in the XML in regards to autostarting. I could look later.

[Snoop-It]

Is there a chance of putting this feature into a users page..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91903&page=1&pp=15

The hack that gives users their own page... would be great if they can add this as an "extra feature" since there is no attachment feature on that. Any ideas how i would do this any one?? or can any one do it for me? :nervous:

[cbr929rrerion]

I edited the xml to not auto start. it appears to be an IE problem.. it works fine in firefox..

unfortunately majority of the users use IE..

[rb290]

whats an example of a video i can play?
like can you give me a code to post and see if this works ?

[Moya]

whats an example of a video i can play?
like can you give me a code to post and see if this works ?

This code supports:


mov, mpa, mpeg, mpg, mp4, wma, real, wma, wmv, avi


Right now my board is under heavy modification and it is not open for demo yet.

[davidw]

Hey stitch, will the xml be updated for those extensions?

[gameslover]

This code supports:


mov, mpa, mpeg, mpg, mp4, wma, real, wma, wmv, avi


Right now my board is under heavy modification and it is not open for demo yet.
Hello,

What are the mime types for the other extensions (mov, mpa, mpeg, mpg, mp4 and real) please ?

Thanks you ^^

[Moya]

I just pull the one from my site and upload it up here. Look for the update template code too.

One thing I encounter is that you have to setup the mime in this format for the player to play properly

Content-type: + mime type

[Moya]

Hello,

What are the mime types for the other extensions (mov, mpa, mpeg, mpg, mp4 and real) please ?

Thanks you ^^


Here we go


WMA ? Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
WMV ? Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv
MP3 ? Content-type: audio/x-mp3
SWF ? Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash
AVI ? Content-type: video/x-ms-avi
MOV ? Content-type: video/quicktime
MP4 ? Content-type: video/quicktime
MPEG ? Content-type: video/mpeg
MPG ? Content-type: video/mpeg
RAM ? Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
RM ? Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
SWC ? Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash

[rb290]

hey i meant, how does this work, what do we put in a post to play a video?

[cbr929rrerion]

Stitch... If it was me I would not support MOV files as of yet, its not working in IE correctly yet...

[Moya]

hey i meant, how does this work, what do we put in a post to play a video?

You create the attachment type, upload the product, and test it out with your attachment system.

You don't have to put anything in a post. This product will recognize your attachements file type and play them.

cbr929rrerion,

You are correct. I think MOV is depended on server setup or something. It works on mine, but it doesn't work on yours. :nervous: I put it in there just in case someone need it

[rb290]

so you gotta go to the attachments in the admin cp and click add extentions ?

"vc.avi:
Upload of file failed."

uploaded a video and it failed

[rb290]

ok .wmv works for me but i think thats the only video extention that works

.avi doesnt, i didnt try the other ones but their is only a thumbnail pic for wmv so im guessing thats the only one that works??

[rb290]

P.s. Please Make This Work For Firefox Somehow Thanks

[Moya]

You will have to install plug in for FF.

BTW: Can I take a look at your board?

[puertoblack2003]

Usually the browser will tell you what kind of plugin it is is looking for. I have run into this problem with FF and for some unknown reason it starts working. I am not sure how to fix that.

[Wordplay]

hmm...

[JohnBee]

Installed, looks fine, nothing plays though.

It does show a busy message as though loading, but when I hit play it simply flashes and does nothing.

I tried with .vmw .avi and a few other formats. using 3.5.1 - tested in Firefox and iE same results.

[Moya]

Can I take a look at your site!

[Wordplay]

i dont quite get this... installed the plug in... but now how do my members upload the videos? do i have to add new extensions? and it'll know what to do with them, because they dont show up in the file types allowed for the attachment upload when uploading attachments...

[Wordplay]

Installed, looks fine, nothing plays though.

It does show a busy message as though loading, but when I hit play it simply flashes and does nothing.

I tried with .vmw .avi and a few other formats. using 3.5.1 - tested in Firefox and iE same results.

exact same problem... please let me know if you get it fixed john.

Can you have your profile update to correct site. I try to go to your site without any luck

[nubian]

question ?

i'm very new to 3.5.1 but have experience with 3.0.8.
is this hack where you physically upload files like mpegs, swf's. etc up into your server or do you have the ability to reference your media files from another server where these media files reside?

[fiber_cut]

I installed the xml plugin/product and added the ext type and I dont get anyting other than a regular attatchment add..

My board has a 30 meg upload limit

I am using 3.5.1

I added the extensions using the following -
Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv
Content-type: audio/x-mp3
Content-type: video/mpeg
Content-type: video/mpeg

I have never had the prior hack installed, This is a fresh install.

If you want to see the site in question it is www.bowlingballexchange.com

Any idea's?

This is the one that let's you upload and use vb attachment system to play your files inline. It requires correct user's permissions

[fiber_cut]

Did you add the additional information onto postbit_attachment template?

Yes sure did. After looking this morningthe only file type of the ones I used that will play is wmv none of the others will still jsut an attatchment.

[Moya]

I register my name at your site can you grant me admin access fo now.

Thanks

[unknowngiver]

Is it possible to allow only ADMINS to use this function

[Moya]

Is it possible to allow only ADMINS to use this function

The ability to upload and download attachment is based on usergroup permission. You can find it under usergroup settings

[unknowngiver]

well i want all the users to be able to download it [see it] but i only want the admins to be able to upload it..the users can upload images n zip files ..but not the flash files? is tht possible

[Moya]

well i want all the users to be able to download it [see it] but i only want the admins to be able to upload it..the users can upload images n zip files ..but not the flash files? is tht possible

Uhmmm I don't think the current vB attachment system can do that. You will need a separate hack for it. :nervous:

[croportal]

nice job thanks

stitch

on my site if you click the attachement link to save it or download it it just gives a php file or scambled text, I want them to be able to download it too.. how can I fix that? it not linking to the file...

www.crotchrocketracing.com

[Mastar]

is there an option in the acp for this? I uploaded the product, where should I go next?

[cbr929rrerion]

Stitch help... The links dont work.. help....

[Moya]

is there an option in the acp for this? I uploaded the product, where should I go next?

Uhmm no there is no acp for this one

[Mastar]

Uhmm no there is no acp for this one

I installed the product and added the extentions. What shoud I do next?

[Moya]

I installed the product and added the extentions. What shoud I do next?

After you modify the template, you are good to go. Your member can upload and listen to music inline if they have permission. This hack is tied to your attachment's permission

www.crotchrocketracing.com (http://www.crotchrocketracing.com)

Can you set that extension to open the same window? I don't have a definite answer for this one because I have the same problem on my site.

[cbr929rrerion]

I was reading on VBulletin.com that alot of people have that issue.. not sure if its a bug or what... Its is mentioned in the bug section.. The links work ok in vbgallery

Go check out bugs at vbulletin.com and see if that makes any sense to ya.. it appears they are not putting much of a importance on it.. Or maybe I just not read deep enough..

Can any of you VB folks respond?

[teamgofast]

hmmm i wasnt able to upload from the computer, and i was only able to upload one file from a url, the rest failed to load? weird

[teamgofast]

i uninstalled this one and went with the bbcode version, thnxs!

[Zia]

Please....thanks

[Jet Blast]

Hi!

Thanks for your help. Looks like a cool mod.

If this is the first time you install this mod you don't have to do anything.

[Jet Blast]

If this is the first time you install this mod you don't have to do anything.

Except add to pitpost attachment, and upload xml file.

can u tell me

i want hack wich when i upload from computer have a link to download not played inline, and when i go to this link www.croportal.net/media/somefile.wmv

i put this link in bbcode www.croportal.net/media/somefile.wmv

and then playing, not when i upload from computer

[buffness]

keep getting this when trying to upload the files Invalid File

[jarcher]

I keep getting invalid file or invalid link specified on larger files
when they do upload they dont play and when downloaded
its attachment.php
got one one sec mpg to play
edit:
closed browser
checked the attachment
now just a player

[browsehosts]

Does this work with Quicktime & Flash & Windows Media Player?

Is there any way for users to see a list of all their media files?

[markbolyard]

Curious, All media types are working for me but those with mpeg extension. With a mpeg extension, it just shows the attached file.

[iamnofear]

it seems to be that every1 can download the media file(with 3.5.3) . How can I prevent guest from downloading ?

[moonclamp]

I've noticed that if I edit a post and add a second attachment, I get the first attachment repeated.

EG. I make a new post with an mp3 attachment -> I go back and edit the post to add a second mp3 -> result = 2 instances of the first mp3 and 1 of the second.

Otherwise it works great

[noreturn]

Hi - can anyone add to this mod to play .asx extension too? Many of music videos I am getting are in that format.
Thanks for any help.

[noreturn]

Now Sat Feb 4th.
Does any one know...Is Moya answering questions about this hack any longer? Or is there another coder that can edit this code to make .asx extensions also play? Of course will pay.

Some one let me know either way please...thanks all.

[defcon_420]

sweet it installed no problem "Clicks Install" :)

instructions could be a little clearer as i had to read thru the whole thread to understand the install but works like a charm

[defcon_420]

uninstalled it cause some file types crash my users machines :( shame looked promising

[eXtremeTim]

This hack did have some issues that I just sorted out. I am going to try and contact the author to see what they are doing with it.

I have fixed the posting ability of multiple attachments of the same file type where they start showing the prior ones. I am also looking to expand on the media capacity of this. Plus I have it working on 3.6.

[badboyz]

i coundnt find this

and i can play live links in this?
