any idea on how to link from google video?

Great Mod Installed!!!!

After some testing I reach the following conclusions:
It's working fine in Internet Explorer and Netscape
In Firefox the "autostart off" option doesn't work
In Opera most media won't play at all.

Can this hack be made more compatable with all these browsers?

I have the same use and I think that it?s not about the plugin but the navigator and the software that it takes to play the media which is different for each one


I leave another suggestion.
It would be great for me and my users to have the possibility to post online videos like YouTube and Google Video. In fact, I have done a bbcode for doing this and was so easy, as it?s only a piece of code and I think, that it would be implemented in your plugin easily. They booth have their own players and leave their code for putting it in your website, in fact you?re using the one from google video for the flv extension

Anyway thanks very much for that great plugin

Seem Whether to show the download link. not working.

I click property of this media still have link :(, not hide link

Hi Crist,
Excuse my bad english, I hope is understandable
Little problem,
I upgraded your hack from 1.1 perfectly working on VB3.5.3 to anymedia1.2

1) unload old product-anymedia.xml (1.1)
2) removed modifcations on includes/class_bbcode.php File
3) uploaded and overwritten old files on my site from your new 1.2 Upload directory
4) reloaded new product-anymedia.xml (1.2)
5) set up all permissions on usergroup.

The medias posted with 1.1 are all working and visible, as are the one posted with new 1.2; But if I try to preview a post with a new media, then an issue is there.

here what happen (example)

1) I create a post
2) I insert the url where my media is, and in this example I insert : http://www.myurl.xyz/mypath/forum/fl.../flashfile.swf
3) I highlight it and then press on M picture of allmedia hack and it correctly write on the writing pane [MEDIA]http://www.myurl.xyz/mypath/forum/flashpath/flashfile.swf[/MEDIA]
4) press preview

It will show up 2 errors --> Error: Non supported media type.

If I look what happend to the code on my editing pane after preview, I can see that it was translated in an unspected way, and in the specific case will be :

What I did wrong???


4B) If not preview is pressed but POST, then all seems to work great!

ciao and take care & ty for great hack!!

Edit : How is possible to :
Enable Users to see medias posted by authorized Users?
I do explain better: If I do not authorize a group, then that group wont see that media.
But if I want to let them see it and Just dont' post a media? how that could be possible?
again ciao & have fun

I am puting this in a post after instal, is this correct or should I be adding something else?

[MEDIA=640,480,autostart]http://www.theurbans.co.uk/wmp/Ram2big.wmv[/MEDIA]

thanks

I May let it support YouTube & Google Video in the next version.
:)

It's hard to let it be compatable for all the browsers,
but I try my best to make it with most of them.

:(

It will show the download link when the media is non-supported,
as well as the bit torrent file.

Nice work!

Is it safe to allow users to post swf? I have heard many times that it isn’t safe.

Anyway great extension!

Don't worry.
You upgraded it perfectly,



You added other bbcodes between the [Media] Code.
So it didn't work.

Don't insert other bbcodes (or html tags) to the [Media] code.
JUST THE URL.



Ciao = Goodbye?
the only Italian word that I know.

:nervous:

You could do this in this version,
Maybe I will add it into the new version.
:)

It's Ok,
but it will not autostart.
use "yes" or "1" instead of "autostart"

Thancks a lot Crist!! :up:

Hey, you can't do more than your best :)
Thanks in advance for looking into it.

thanks for that reply.

problem I get is it just shows as the link, nothing else.

any ideas?

Nope sir i did not inserted any othr bbcodes. I inserted just 1 regular url to a flash file, then presse "preview" and it does all that. (pressing "post" wont do that).
To be able to show you here what it was doing, I had to post it on a php tag, so vbull wont parse it and show to you what the result was.(*)

Ciao is a very common italian word used in different occasion during talks between ppl (normally with friends and confidents, always in 2nd person singular)
it means both
1) ciao when u meet a person or when u start a phone call and is something like Hi, hallo
2) ciao when u leave a person or b4 hunging a phone call and in that case means bye

ciao ;)


(*) that also is 4 me very strange because if then I post here that "strange" triple url, vbull will parse it on a regular one even on code tag.
To show you that, I discovered that the only way was using php tag to paste here that "strange" issue, een now if i edit that post on edit pane will show up the regular one but you see all that confused url...
...that is matrixxxx -->red pill :D


again ciao

Just a couple of suggestions.

1) Support for the Google Video .gvp extension and Google Player
2) Along with the restrictions, possibly make media entries show up as hyperlinks that when clicked on will open in a pop-up window where the media can be viewed - thus stopping people from raping page loading times with massively huge files etc or cluttering thread pages up with millions of files.

I like the sound of those suggestions too !

Great hack.

1). Are there plans to support the .wav format? Many soundclips on the web are in this format, so I'd really to see it included.


2.) When posting media files, is there a way to have AnyMedia centered on the page by default?


3.) Is there a way to modify the code so that, instead of a default width/height, the tool would pick the ideal dimensions for the media file in question?

For example, when you embed different media with HTML, you cant use a default height and width because it won't look right from one format to the next (i.e. .wmv to .mov.). I discovered the best way to embed was to simply leave the height and width out and not specify, so the media would auto-size itself to the best fit.

Right now, I'm having trouble with the default setting when posting .mov files. Wmv. works great, but the default cuts off parts of some .mov files.

Have you changed the permissions?

And is the url valid?

This is a great hack! I just have one quick question - would it be possible to start with the media player collapsed so you have to click it to view the media?

Will an upgrade to vBulletin 3.5.4 do anything with this Extention?

3.54 is out?

Anyone fix the netscape / mozilla issue yet? MPEGS aren't happy with this hack in those browsers.

Yes

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...postid=1079030

The media icon's stopped working, looking at it now it points here but the file's no longer available at that address.

So Where can I get a copy and how do I change the link to my local server?

Thanks...

hugh

There is a double slash in that addres. Maybe that's the problem ;)
This could be resolved by editting the template I think.

Double slashes don't seem to bother web servers in my experience...

hugh

I had to reinstall it, but it works fine on 3.5.4 for me now.

How can I default the media window to be collapsed? How can I change the window titel from AnyMedia to somethign else, such as Click For Video? I added a translation for anymedia_player, but it didn't change. I also tried removing the phrase call in anymedia template, but it's still there.

i need .wsx support for streaming..
this does not seem to work..

Workin well, thanks for this m8 :)

1). is the gvp file played by the flv player?
if so,i'll add it into next version.

2). it's a good idea,
but I don't wanna add this into later version soonly.
:surprised:

1.yes, I will add it into the next version.
2.To do this, You could use CENTER tag.
3.Okay,I'll try to fix it

I'll made a option for you to do this in the next version

Cool.....can't wait for the updated version :up:

just install on 3.5.4 and when i try to add a wvx file all i get is [media]url.wvx[/media]

went into vboptions and went over anymedai options where else do i need to go to make this work
