still not working. only shows in safari . in firefox i get no rss feeds..in opera i get xml parser error an tells me the chars marked in red here is wrong. unregistrered user settings are enabled

<category domain="http://www.xxxxxx.xx/media.php?do=category&cid=6">- Humor</category>

when i try the rss feed link in feed burner i only get this error message

The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 27: The reference to entity "cid" must end with the ';' delimiter.

Ah ha! The source of the problem is when SEO is set to No. If I set it to yes then I can see both the edit and report pages (although I'm still not sure where the report goes to?). With SEO off then the links are forum/media.php?do=comment&mid=X and forum/media.php?do=details_report&mid=X respectively, which fail.

Fix for this coming soon... "&cid" should be "&amp;cid".

New version should be coming tommorow, and will be 100% XHTML validated.

Aha! You are correct sir! Fix will be coming in 4.0.4. new version will be coming tomorrow because I need to spend time validating these shitty EMBED codes.

Keep up the good work jaxel :) We are all very grateful for you effort in this mod.

any idea why the most popular media doesnt change ? its the same regardless of how many views the other media files have.

Most popular media is done by COMMENTS, not VIEWS.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused:

So.... question: After re-reading the description I noticed that this only takes data from other sources, when I'd like to keep most of the media on my own site. I just want to catalogue pictures and videos. Is there anything that will allow me to do this?

Unfortunately, I've looked through all of those and they all fail somewhere. I like the design and organization of this mod, I just need a way to include images and videos that are locally hosted.

im sure he can fix you up, they do custom jobs for peeps here.

I love this mod :D

I voted it for MOTM.

Just two niggles tho:
The thread submission portion, doesnt register the new thread as a thread in forumhome view.

We need to see who "has watched a video" or current users on this part of the forum.

Only problem I have is the spanish special characters are not showing in the comments section :)
Nominated for MOTM

RSS errors will be fixed with the new version... this entire mod will soon be 100% XHTML valdiated!

Fixed in 4.0.4

That would be awesome, and to be honest I am surprised these options haven't appeared so far. If the author offered a Pro version for sale that included options to upload images and videos (or incorporated images/videos uploaded via ftp) I would buy it. This is the last part of my site that I need to replace before I can switch over from Wordpress :(

Jaxel: If you include these options in a future version you will definitely either get a purchase or a donation from me as soon as my next batch of ad money comes in.

What I tried to say is that I can't edit the media description. When I click submit or save all I get is the original description again, even if i changed it.

My other question is how to use latin chars in the comments?

This also happens on both my sites ..... but it does save into a different directory if I choose that option, and saves any changes in the Title - it's just the comments don't change on edit

Uploaded via FTP coming in next version. Videos should be uploaded by FTP to customVID directory (default). Then you submit the video to the library using the syntax "internal:videolocation". So if a video is located at customVID/video.mp4, you type in "internal:video.mp4". If a video is located at customVID/folder3/video7.flv (dont forget to CHMOD 777 folder3), you type in "internal:folder3/video7.flv". Of course, since there is no XML or video data, that means the system can't extract a thumbnail, title, description, timecode or tags. It will auto generate a title and description based on the filename, and will give a default thumbnail, but the rest will have to be inputted manually. A nice donation would be appreciated...




Fixed for next version...

Thank you! Any hope for image files to be incorporated as well?

I keep getting this message when trying to post a video, that's although I do make the description of the videos longer than 5 characters:

The description you have entered is too short (0 characters). Please lengthen your description to at least 5 characters.

On the Media page, you will see the Admin control area option at the Sub menu of the Media page. It is working 100%, really mod, I enjoy it! Except the SEO that didn't work for me because I'm using vBSEO.

It happened to me, too. Either you have the longer description or leave it blank!

I still get the message when I leave it blank.
Also my descriptions are not very short, they tend to be a few lines at least.

Not unless every server on the net suddenly installed FFmpegPHP on their servers, this isn't going to happen. In order to extract information from a video, such as thumbnails, length, tags or any such other ID information, there needs to be the libraries required to do so installed on your server. No server comes with video libraries installed by default; hell, there are still a ton of servers out there that don't have GD2 (image libraries)!

What you can do is click "Edit Details" and at the bottom is the option to upload a custom thumbnail. So you can upload a custom thumbnail for every media in your system. However, be warned, if you ever run the "Rebuild Thumbnail Information" process, it will seek out original thumbnails from the service host. I have written in an exception so that it will SKIP the rebuild of any thumbnails in the INTERNAL service host group; but for other service hosts (like YouTube, etc), this process will overwrite your custom thumbnails.

Any chance the thread view on the main forum will be fixed in the next version ?? Also, Is there a way to change the name of the media tab on the nav bar ??

Hehe, I should have been more specific: any chance of having image galleries implemented someday in the future? As I mentioned above, if you incorporated images into the galleries and then created an upload script you could definitely sell it as a Pro version.

Also, my site runs on a private server, so if I can make sure FFmpegPHP and GD2 are installed will that help with the thumbnails thing?

Thanks for the responses btw!

I believe jaxel will provide a guide on how to make your own hosters, so you can make hosters for images. Personally I don't like to have image galleries in media library, but I would love to have audio/mp3 media implemented in the future, so we will be able to make songs albums, playlists etc.

That would be useful too. I'll be patient for advice on how to implement these kinds of things :)

Now to get back to learning stylevars

I must be doing something wrong, When I hit submit video I get a 404 page, but the thumbnail shows up on my media page, but none of the videos are there when you choose one to click on...I have no idea what I am doing wrong... really none of the links other than the one below work....please help

the link is http://pixiesaver.com/media.php

Try this for your url.

http://www.pixiesaver.com/media.php

unregistered people are unable to see the media files so you have to adjust your permissions if you want us to have a butchers.

ooops fixed

so I start with the www, but it takes me to the direct link, and those still don't work... all 404's across everything

go into settings and unselect rewrite.

the top one, search engine, select no and save

@Delilahs THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay... small change to the internal hoster... I changed it from "internal" to "localvideo" and "localaudio"

I am starting to feel stupid here, but how do I create more categories?

checked it for future use, but now its not quite proffesional, because still needs tweaking.

See Images

And coders wonder why they bother with comments like this !

Ive had a few issues with this mod but am gonna upgrade to 4.03 and see if there ironed out as its superb peice of work!
Keep it going mate as its the best mod ive used on vbull!
