Is this necessary or simply to mirror what you have on your setup?

This just means that I have to upload via FTP and overwrite the previous ones, right?

How do I do this?

This is the first step in the right direction. But, we're not there yet. :D

Do we have to change any 'settings' to have this showing? If so, where do we change them?

This is a great feature, by the way! :D

Does this answer my question from above?

Is this something that happens 'behind the scenes' or do we have to do the settings ourselves?

So, we no longer have to add the "fmt=22&" to the videos?

Once the sub-categories work as they should and the tagging is added, that would make things complete :up:

No, just a mirror of what I have...

You need to upload via FTP AND overwrite the templates in the mod. Just go to your AdminCP > Manager Hoster > Import video-hoster. Import both youtube files and they will automatically overwrite your old ones.

In your style manager, simply select each video template you've edited and hit the "revert" button.

Yes.

Its behind the scenes, nothing you have to do.

You still need to differentiate the difference between HD and SD video; what this does is make it easy to define more than just youtubeHD as an HD video source.

I have however, changed the "fmt=22&" thing... you no longer do it that way... isntead, just change the HTTP in your link to HDEF... easier this way.

So http://wwww.youtube.com/watch?v=12345 becomes hdef://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345

This is awesome, Thanks!

Thanks for answering the questions Jaxel :up:

I'm going to do the updates a little later today.

I have problem in rss .... every time i try to see it make log off from my forum

This is fantastic! We can't wait to put this into use for our members.

Thanks for all the hard work! :)

for some reason every hd movie doesnt work

the video is no longer available

Well, I finally did the updates this morning, but the contributer video pages aren't there. At least, the links which are supposed to go there (within the Top Contributers section) are still pointing to the public profiles.

Everything else seems to be working so far.

Any tips on what I haven't done which has not changed the actual links from pointing to the right pages?

I am having the same issue - links are directed to:

/forums/member.php?u=xxxx

Instead of

forums/video.php?do=viewuser&userid=xxxx

Not sure where to make the adjustment

Here it is - go to your video_contributorbit template and replace the entire contents with

That should fix it for you

Ok... The video does not appear on the video.php=videodetails page.

See the attached screenshot.

Not sure where to look to see what's wrong.

any help is appreciated.

Did you reinstall your videohoster files?

You guys who are having problems with the embedded video not showing up, or the contributor page links not working forgot to do something... REVERT YOUR TEMPLATES! You are still using the old templates, which still have the old setups.

As for not all HD videos working... not all videos on youtube are encoded in HD... if you try to use the HD embed code in a video that has not been encoded in HD, the video playback will break.

Thanks FatherGuido! :up:

Jaxel, I had reverted all of my templates and everything. Just something didn't take with the one template that FatherGuido mentioned the fix on. So, I used his fix and it now works.

Do you suggest I not use that, Jaxel?

Exactly what I needed. Somehow I missed that instruction before. MANY THANKS!

Okay... once again I am working on something new... I added two new settings: "Vidbits Per Row" and "Length of the preview-text of title". Obviously, the "Length of the preview-text of title" handles the length of the title to show up on the vidbits. If the title is too long, it will truncate and add an ellipse to the end; the same way that the system truncates the length of the descriptions.

The other variable, "Vidbits Per Row" handles the number of videos that are listed per row. By default, we are all used to seeing only one video per row. I prefer seeing more; so now you can program it! If you wish to stick with only one video, it will as usual call up the "video_bit" template. If you use more than one video per row, it will call up a new template called "video_bit_more". My forum is using TWO for example:
http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php?do=viewuser&userid=1

Of course, a lot of templates have been rewritten and files have been edited to handle it all. So I would be uploading my new changes till next week; as I'm expecting to change more.

Jaxel, that is a very interesting option to have! Thanks for working on this like you have and I look forward to seeing the changes next week :D

By the way, my thumbnails aren't showing here...

http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/videos/

....what the heck did I do wrong? Any tips? I've got the directory of videothumbnails (and folders within) and includes/videoserviceapi at 777 permissions, but no thumbnails for me. :(

Most thumbnail problems occur because of your htaccess settings; and as I see, you are using VBSEO. Upload an htaccess file to your thumbnail directory, turning rewrite off.

edited! works !!



thanks!!!


could you make the members avatar show next to his name for the comments posted? :)

Would it be simply "RewriteEngine Off" (without the quotes) in a file and uploaded within my videothumbnails directory/folder?

I did that, but it doesn't work. So, I'm assuming that I have to do something else within that file, but I'm not sure what.

and make sure the necessary directories are writable

Yup...everything is writable. So, not sure why it's not working yet. :(

Edited: Just added a new video and it worked. I just realized that you can't adjust and have the old thumbnails show because they were not working. So, I'll just have to upload those three videos again that are not showing thumbnails.

So, the "RewriteEngine Off" piece has to be added for the forums with vBSEO in the videothumbnails directory. :)

I have a degree in Biomedical Informatics; thats basically computer programming for genetic sequencing and stuff like that, but all the programming I do is through PERL. I learned how to program through reverse engineering webscripts a decade ago; which too, were mostly in PERL... so I'm not well versed in PHP or vBulletin (but I can hack the PERL version of UBB easy peasy).

I'm gonna need some help putting together a tag cloud for this program... anyone wanna help me? AIM me: BadBreath911

Idea...

There should be a block on the users profile for the videos they contributed. For example, you go to a users profile and in one of the blocks on the right of the profile shows the latest 3 vid thumbnails and you can go to that users archive also... The users archive could follow the same format as the video home page..

Just a thought :-)

BTW, I Love this mod

can i get an xml for datpiff.com and worldstarhiphop.com?

I think the product need some fixed ...

problem in the product :

1 - When you delete any video ...it is image not delete .

2 - when let visitors to rate the video ... appear to them always You have already rated this video!

3 - When you let visitors to see who is watch who see also the video .... if who see the video members the table appear but if who see the video is avisitor not appear .

I hope to fixed this problem in next released

Jaxel, is it possible to also make a RSS feed for the categories?

Thanks for your time!

Folks,

I'm having some issues with 'some' of the thumbnails not showing. This is an example of one that I had uploaded but no thumbnail on......

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5-ziqoyr4D8

....anything weird about this video or anything that I have to adjust to make sure it shows? FYI, the person that uploaded it on YouTube is the same person (same username as well) on my site. Could that cause an issue?

Here's the page....

http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/videos/disneyland-3/

Arny... the thumbnail exists... its just broken...
http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/vide...-ziqoyr4D8.jpg

Could have been a hiccup during the upload that causes the thumbnail to be incompleted, or it could be SEO problems.

Are there any plans to add videos from NFL.com?

It's strange Jaxel. I have a few of them not showing properly while others have no problems. :(

Any suggestions on what I can do to 'fix' this?

Great Mod seems to work fine.. Is there any thought into supporting links to quicktime files? That would be a great feature. Thanks for putting this one together..

Installed all good, just remember to set usergroup permissions :p

[Edit - never mind, fixed it!]

You guys will be happy to know...

TAG CLOUD!!! http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

The only thing missing so far is the ajax editing... which right now I cant figure out.

Survivor... do you mind if I start releasing my edits as their own mod? I will of course observe the Copyleft...

How do you get your videos to display like that??? :confused:

Hi..

Thank you for this very nice Mod.
I just installed it recently, may I suggest some feature that you may look into it.
If they already exist, somebody guide me where to find them.

1) A preview button to view the movies, before pressing the add video button.
2) Edit video to enable editing of the url of the video.
3) Sub-Categories, with categories.
4) Top poster link at the Video Statistics to bring all the videos posted by the user, instead of showing the profile of the poster.
5) ability to import keywords, or add tags.
6) ability to add parameters to hide related video, and other information.
7) Unregistered/Guests can view the categories and other information, but not playing option.
8) Showing Duration of the clips at thread/summary display.

I said in a previous post that this customization will be coming in my next version in a few days.

1) I wont be able to help you with that, ask Survivor
2) That cant happen; the APIs draw information from the URL; the URL itself isn't even stored anywhere.
3) I have that in my verison... sort of... its just the level system like in VBA CMPS Nav Module
4) Already done in my version...
5) coming soon sometime this week...
6) doesn't this already exist?
7) not worth the effort for me, to add this.
