This hack is for 3.5.x and uses plugins, so it won't work with the 3.0.x series. Have you tried this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=media ?? I did a search in the 3.0.x hacks section, and thats what came up first.

hmmm i guess being on a team makes you have to update your code Crist? well i didnt think it was going to be updated since its been weeks with things not working right and you kept saying the same thing.

Maybe we all should develop a list of all the problems that people are having with AnyMedia on 3.6 right now, and a coder in the community could pick it up and figure out how to make it stable.

Before I purchased a vB license, I read here about the problems with selfish coders who abandoned their hacks and left many out in the cold, and I never thought that I'd experience that kind of thing. But apparently that is what is happening here.

My site depends on this hack, and for the most part it has been working on 3.6 but I know that there are some problems with it that people are having (that I have not experienced yet). I know now that I probably should have stayed with 3.5.4/3.5.5 for a while until this whole thing was settled.

Show a screen shot or some example =\

G Man ... were u able to play google video ..without its own player??? If so, what version are you using?

Attention All: Whoever got their forum to work with anymedia and able to play google video or any other...please be supportive and post your info... .


I am using VB 3.5... with the lastest AnyMedia 3.5 .. All seem to work fine... except that I have to use google's player ..to be able to play its videos.

I've attached a screenshot of flash working in anymedia.

I couldn't get Google video to work just now, all it said was "Loading". I haven't tried it with YouTube, as I don't use YouTube or Google videos on my site.

But Windows Media, flash, and .jpg images all work through the anymedia player. All I had to do was install it the normal way.

Edit: I see that Crist has been on the site today. Will he explain to the community further why being a part of the vB Chinese team matters in continuing the development of this hack?

I haven't used Google Video at all... I just tried and it did fail.

I have used it with YouTube videos.


I will agree that this Hack is far from flawless, but I have used it a lot to make my forum better. I am sure that if Crist is not responding something has taken him away from a project that he has worked on for likely hundreds of hours...



Found it works best with stuff off your own server, like this video.

do you use this player or googles and utubes? if you check with firefoxand internet explorer you will see its very buggy. yeah there is ways to get around it but when you do it check on both browsers cause they will mess up.

:laugh: You're kidding right?

How about selfish users expecting free updates for life on a free use-at-your-own-risk hack.

So if you publish a free add-on, then you are obligated to update it and keep it maintained for life? for free??
and if for some reason the author does not have the free time or inclination to update the add-on then they are being selfish???

And I suppose the more popular or useful the free add-on is, the more selfish the person is being by not keeping it updated? :p

It could just be that crist is burnt out on Anymedia or he doesn't have much time left to work on free projects at the moment.



But is there anything stopping you or anyone else from fixing the things you need fixed yourself (or hiring someone to do so) and publishing your fixes or changes here?


Just tackle the problems yourself, or wait for someone else does until Crist gets here.

I imagine since this project is somewhat popular, if Crist drops the ball too much longer, then someone else will pick up this project and run with it as they have with several other projects.

its an awesome hack... he promised update and he'll do it... give him a break he's not obligated to make anything
