i had that problem but found out was the chat box that was upsetting it as i had set for every page to display changed itt not to display on the media page and every thing is good now

Thanks for that but I have the VSA chatbox on the forumhome only :up:.

the file would more than likely have to be in the swf , (flash Format) to work i would think
so don't even try MOV,MPG,WAV convert them first

that should work.

as far as the thumbs go I too have not been able to get them to work. I guess you could always just post them to a thread then edit the thread with a thumb till we can figure it out

OK I see how its coded now: the thumb is pulled from /media/media_video.jpg you could go in and change that by removing that pic and rename the thumb you want shown to (media_video.jpg) then retrieve the information for that video.

You would have to manually create the thumb. but once uploaded to /media/ and renamed the retrieved it would be renamed in the thumbs folder to something like 28.jpg automatically. This would allow you to do this anytime you want to actually have a thumb associated with a local video. be aware that this picl (media_video.jpg) will also be the pic for any local files you upload if you don't change the pic you will have this pic as your thumb.

Jaxel could probably fix this pretty easy once he has time to re-cooperate from his coding binge :>

I'm sorry to insist, but I can not see video Metacafe.
Black screen and not the video.

whats the link you are useing to try and retrieve the video?

show us, and are you downloading them useing a premium account then trying to host them ?

or have you used this embbeded code supplied to make it work in post #3 17 Apr 2010, 15:55

Added : ok i see what your seeing the thumb is there and the player but it wont play, tags all there definitions all there its wierd

Please add this code to product description somewhere to save the hassle of this question being asked 1000 times.

If You run VBSEO on your vb 4.X platform and You want to turn on SEO option here is the htaccess info You got to change.

This is the work from VBSEO and works really fine on my forum.

Really? So the regular expression STANDARD digit character grouping \d does not work in VBSEO? And people wonder why I think they shouldn't be using VBSEO.

There is nothing to fix here... it is working as intended. media_video.jpg is the DEFAULT thumbnail. I have already provided a method for people to upload their own thumbnails.

Thanks for helping on the local file upload. Worked perfectly. Is the "upload a thumbnail" feature working. I can not seem to edit the media. Like another post I read here it just changes back when I save the changes and only the stock thumbnail shows. I looked but could not find a response to this question. But then, like I said, I am a real novice here.

Example the link metacafe is http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4546247

Thanks
