I would use Jaxel's Dance Party ;)

LOL...actually, whatever you call it, it's a great mod! :up:

Jaxel 04-04-2010 08:51 PM

Hey guys, can you give me a list of your Hosters? I'm writing an import script and right now I have...

Code:

switch ($videoservice)
{
        case "YouTube":                $serviceID = 1;        break;
        case "YouTubeHD":        $serviceID = 1;        break;
        case "Vimeo":                $serviceID = 2;        break;
        case "VimeoHD":                $serviceID = 2;        break;
        case "Metacafe":        $serviceID = 3;        break;
        case "Dailymotion":        $serviceID = 4;        break;
        case "Veoh":                $serviceID = 5;        break;
        case "VeohHD":                $serviceID = 5;        break;
        case "MegaVideo":        $serviceID = 6;        break;
}

Is there anything I am missing?

MagicThemeParks 04-04-2010 08:53 PM

Viddler is one that I'd add, let me keep thinking of others.

EquinoxWorld 04-05-2010 02:40 AM

megavideo would be sweet..

Jaxel 04-05-2010 04:02 AM

I really don't like Megavideo, because they put popups in their videos, and don't have an autoplay option... but I've added them.

They are now $serviceID = 6;

Jaxel 04-05-2010 04:37 AM

I'm having problems with the sidebar element... if someone could take a look at it for me and explain to me what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate it.

I really like the site, good job :up:. Will you include video/media modules for vb 4.0 you can include in the forum home below navbar or sidebar?

Yahoo Videos?

Thanks for the hard work.

Yep, your right, its okay to change the name to something else but there is a thing you should not forgot that we have lots of old video URLs submitted and saved in search engines and users bookmarks, if your going to change the URLs like video.php to media.php do you have any solution in mind? and btw I have currently installed old Video-Directory Remixed in my vb4 installation, just disabled.

Thank you :)

You can use HTACCESS to convert old video URLs into the new media URL.

Has anyone been able to help me with my sidebar problem? DIVs are so much more confusing than TABLEs.

I took a look at it and the code is so much diferent from vb3. I'm having a friend take a look at it as well, he's doing a custom skin for VB4 for us and this mod being CRUCIAL to our upgrade event we will try and help you out with this as much as we can, we'll let you know if we come up with any feedback for you. Thank again for the effort, sorry about your job, I'm on the same boat since feb.

final kaoss 04-05-2010 06:59 PM

ok, how can I do these things.

* I use yabbseo, how can I rewrite the urls from this mod to be seo friendly?
* How can I store thumbnails in the database instead of as files (I have a 250,000 file limit/aka Inodes limit with hostgator)
* Where can I put my adsense ads on this mod?

I think somewhere in this thread the current coder: Jaxel said that they are not handling any support for 3.x.x

The adsense part of the mod is in this thread somewhere. Do a search for 'adsense' and you should be able to find your answer.

final kaoss 04-06-2010 12:59 AM

lol, I've tried searching for adsense but unfortunately I don't believe you can search within a thread?

EDIT: Nevermind found the search button buried in the top right drop down menu. Someone suggests looking in areas and doesn't give a definitive answer.

Jaxel 04-07-2010 04:45 AM

Okay... things left to do...

Packing
Phrases
Sidebar
invalid ID checks

Everything else seems to be done...

Well done Jaxel, much appreciated.

Will you include an upgrade so we will keep our old videos, categories and comments?

Jaxel 04-08-2010 12:22 AM

of course... thats one of the things I am working on right now...

I just finished making some rebuild functions that will rebuild thumbnails with the new thumbnail format.

Cybershaolin 04-08-2010 02:40 AM

Why is this thread for 3.8.X version of vBulletin being used for a hack that will be for the 4.X version, while the actual one version for 3.8.X will not be updated, as stated by the author?

Jaxel 04-08-2010 04:32 AM

Well the import script worked great... not flawless, but probably as good as it's gonna get.'

I'm having a weird issue in Chrome and Firefox with the front page however... just looking at it, you will be able to see whats wrong. Does anyone know how to fix it?

MagicThemeParks 04-08-2010 10:59 AM

Jaxel, just viewed the page in Chrome and noticed the extra space in the 'recent videos' portion. Is that what you mean?

Veer 04-08-2010 11:55 AM

Yes, I see the same thing in Firefox and Chrome, Using IE it has no extra space but the video play page in IE is strange.

inciarco 04-08-2010 12:11 PM

Jaxel, would it be possible to include an Option to Upload and Edit the Image related to the Video? :confused:

This Would Allow to use Videos from Services such as redtube, where one can Create the Code to Embed the Video, but as the Image can't be Extracted from the Video Hosting System then the User would be able to Upload the URL for the Image of the Video or from the Computer. ;)

I Hope you can Include this Option; I remember in the past that I managed to Create the redtube's Video Embedding File but the Image was always missing as the Mod currently don't offer the Option to Manually Upload the Image from URL or from Computer. ;)

My Best Regards.

:)

Verionia 04-08-2010 02:24 PM

I Think That If You and Every Person that is Trying to Press the Upgrade of this Mod to the vB4 Version, Donate to Jaxel, I Think He'd be More Motivated to Dedicate More of His Time to Make that Version Upgrade Sooner. ;)

Jaxel mentioned 4 days Ago that He's Unemployed, and He'll be Happy to Receive Your Donations. Ask Him How and Where You Can Donate to Him. ;)

And I'm unemployed again... so donations would be greatly appreciated!
My Best Regards, and Special Thanks to Jaxel. :up:

AllinJac 04-08-2010 07:52 PM

Ok I have gone through and read more then 50 pages so I am sure that the answer was not in there...

Are you going to provide any support for Video Uploading of MP4s?

I am not sure as to what to do right now as I really like the engine of Media Lite with it's upload features but LOVE the design and layout of your product...

I know you are not supporting 3 but that is what I have to make a decision on now as we can not update for awhile as some of the mods we HAVE to have are not working on 4 as of yet...

Thanks for any input or advice anyone can give me as I have to find a solution that will allow me to:

1. Upload MP4 files - we do a lot of training videos using JING and need to post them diretly.
2. Would love to be able to use the best Player in the Market JW Player and its mods...

Thanks for your help and time, again ANYONE feel free to answer this...

Jaxel 04-08-2010 09:32 PM

This mod does not support directly uploading media. However, if you have MP4 media, you can EASILY setup some sort of free flash player (I recommend JW Player at http://www.longtailvideo.com/). Then simply add that as a service host.

Metal-R-US 04-08-2010 10:46 PM

it's seems like if you report a video and a thread is created that thread is pretty much permanent as the report thread for that video and doesn't get updated when the video is reported again.

problem scenario: some video gets reported for some reason and is dealt with. then later the same video gets reported again. a new thread isn't created and the original one doesn't get updated.

even deleting the thread doesn't help, you only get a "No Thread specified" message.

Jaxel 04-08-2010 11:10 PM

The report thread function was build by Surviver, the previous author. With the new version I am working on, with is 100% my own, reporting will be handled through EMAILS (the same way as when someone reports a thread), instead of creating a brand new thread.

Okay, I need help with 2 things right now... First I need to figure out how to do HTACCESS... lets say I have the url http://test.8wayrun.com/media.php?do=details&mid=87, I would like to be able to access the same URL from http://test.8wayrun.com/media/m87, how would I do this? I have tried the following, but it doesnt work...
Code:

ReWriteRule ^media/m([0-9]+).* media.php?do=details&mid=$1[QSA]


Next question... I am trying to parse some info from ustream... below is the feed
Code:

<xml>
<results>
        <title><![CDATA[NECX LF Dreamkiller VS Rigel]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[NECX]]></description>
        <lengthInSecond>500.884</lengthInSecond>
        <imageUrl>
                <medium><![CDATA[http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/videopic/0/1/2/2724/2724048/1_1121923_2724048_320x240_b_1:1.jpg]]></medium>
        </imageUrl>
        <tags>
                <array key="0"><![CDATA[8wayrun]]></array>
                <array key="1"><![CDATA[NECX]]></array>
                <array key="2"><![CDATA[Soulcalibur]]></array>
        </tags>
</results>
</xml>

Getting the majority of the information has been easy...
Title = $arr['results']['title'];
Description = $arr['results']['description'];
Thumb = $arr['results']['imageUrl']['medium'];
Length = $arr['results']['lengthInSecond'];

However, I can't figure out how to get the information for the tags. I basically need to extract the tags into an array, and then implode it into a string with a comma delimiting each entry. Does anyone know how I would do this?

Brilliant!

Yeah that is all I need to upload is mpeg4...

And yes, I agree the best player in the market from my research is JW Player!

Have you or ANYONE here ever done a new Service Host with specifically the JW Player and how it would look?

I am not a programmer by any means but I understand the basics... My programmer will be here today but be gone for the next 5 days and I would love to make this work before he gets back so I can start uploading videos without having to go through Youtube directly!!!

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
EDIT: I just found this to set up a JW Player on your vBulletin...

Does this look and sound right and what you were referring to by setting up JW Player... Now I just need to figure out how to do a Host???

Jaxel thank you for chiming in! I know you are busy and full steam ahead on version 4.x so thanks for taking the time to still respond here!

Thanks,

Kosmic1 04-09-2010 02:39 PM

Jaxel, how can we fix the issues with delete comments and insert other languages caracters, like ~^`? etc?? (3.8.X) I've turned off the comments because of this. :(

Jaxel 04-09-2010 05:12 PM

Are there any features I am missing in my test version?

Features not in yet:
auto-thread creation
htaccess seo slugs

I forgot to mention, additional to the possibility to Set and Edit the Image related to the Video, (upload the image/thumbnail from the computer and/or set the URL of an Image to be used for the Video's thumbnail), to be able to Set and Edit a URL for the Thread related to the Video, this would allow to Set this for Old Videos and with a Link on the Video Info that says "Discussion Thread For This Video" you can Browse and See the Thread, and also to set it when some user forgot to set the Thread Creation for the Video, (the user can Create the Thread and then Edit the URL on the Video to point to the Thread). :confused:

Is it also Possible to be able to Edit the URL of the Video? (Sometimes the Video No Longer Exists and would be Nice to be able to Change the Video's URL to another existant one). :confused:

My Best Regards, Jaxel. :up:

:)

The ability to upload new thumbnails is already in the system.

I'm not sure if I'm going to put in an option where you can change the serviceVAL of a video. The whole idea of changing serviceVALs is problematic, and it should only be done by administrators in the first place. If you are an admin, you can easily edit the serviceVAL yourself in PHPMyAdmin.

SEO Slugs are also done and working PERFECTLY. Check them out on the test site.

Great, Jaxel The only thing I see missing is from sidebar:

Directory Statistics
at the top of the Contributors list

and

Total Videos: 1,232
Total Categories: 15

at the end of the Contributors list

Jaxel 04-10-2010 02:01 AM

Those statistics would take 2 extra queries on pageload. I don't think they are that essential...

hmm, 3.8 version have it on every page, you may skip category/tag/video/user pages and load only on the main page.

Jaxel, SEF urls are great.

Since your calling it Media Library its nice, regarding Media are you planing on adding some other types of media like photos, audios in future?

Veer 04-10-2010 07:33 AM

Jaxel, you may want to correct this, Video title in 4 different places on a single page.
