Playing Attached Media Files Inline

What this hack does::

This hack allows your users to upload media files via your board file management and play the media fields within their post.. It is adivisable to have one inline per post.

Foreword:

This hack might not work on all system due to different configuration, platform, and such. I will try to help you all as much as I can.

This hack will use your board attachment system to run mp3, wma, wmv, flash files. It is a bit server intensive. So be warned

Security Risk:

It has been known that flash files can be used to exploit and compromise certain securities on user computer. You might want to verify your flash attachment before enable flash playing inline on your forum.

Attachment Content Types:

WMA ? Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
WMV ? Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv
MP3 ? Content-type: audio/x-mp3
SWF ? Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash

MPG ? Content-type: video/mpeg
RAM ? Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
RM ? Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
SWC ? Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash

NOTE: This hack use your board attachment.php to play those specified media files. Therefore, you will have to set up user right to download attachement in under forum permissions.

Playing inline attachments under firefox has proven to be problemsome since I noticed firefox does not pass the cookie info in for the inline video playing. So if you want attachments to play inline in firefox you must set it so that guests can view attachements. (I am currently looking for fixes to this if possible)

This is a clean up and rerelease of this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99871

If you have that hack installed just install the product file and you will be good. If you have her one before that then follow her template reverses from that thread.

I tried to contact the author but they havent been on the site in well over a month. Pms and emails were unresponded to. I will remove this hack if the hack author requests.

Whats fixed:

Fixed the problem with attachments being shown multiple times when more then one of the same file type was uploaded in a single post.
Cached all the templates used by this hack.

yesterday i install Moya hack ... anyway i will install this instead ..

adapted this for meself for 3.5...and it works fine.

thanks.

Yeah works fine on 3.6. Thanks!

Please click install.

Is there anyway to change the video play back size so that its bigger?

I'd like it ! Thanks to poster.

eXtremeTim, r u Moya ? :D

No i stated in earlier i could not get in touch with moya and was releasing for now at least so people could benifit from a fully working version.

play inline in firefox you must set it so that guests can view attachements. (I am currently looking for fixes to this if possible)

[Bumb]:confused:

Hi, Can someone tell me where I might find the "postbit_attachment" file? I can't find it anywhere in my vb directory. Also, does this mod work with 3.6.1? Thanks.

"postbit_attachment" is a template not a file, access your adminCP and click on the Styles and Templates menu.

You still need to add the new types of attachments to the Attachments manager in the adminCP area.

Log into your adminCP area, scroll doen the left navbar and expand the Attachments menu, you should then see the following:

Attachment Manager
Attachment Permissions
Search
Moderate Attachments
Attachment Statistics
Attachment Storage Type

Click on Attachment Manager

At the bottom of this Click on Add New Extention.

next you need to add the following one at a time with whatever size upload you wish to allow.

New Attachment Content Types:

WMA
WMV
MP3
SWF
AVI
MOV
MP4
MPEG
MPG
RAM
RM
SWC

Hope that helps.

Go into Attachment Manager and click edit on the PDF line. Change open in new browser to YES.

Is there any way to control what size the attachments are? Like if I upload a flash game in swf file format at 640x640 it comes out smaller when added to the post?

It still shows the whole document inline.

That link works. The song played for me.

after the site loads, give it a few seconds then click the play button..

is this problem already has been solved or not:surprised:

So if you want attachments to play inline in firefox you must set it so that guests can view attachements. (I am currently looking for fixes to this if possible)

This mod works as is?
Do I need to add a media player to my forum?
Also is it possible to let only certain users upload media files?
Is it possible to post a link in a specific forum and let those users who wish to listen be able to listen to it if its obviously operating?

Thanks

I keep getting "Upload of file failed. "

installed : product media inline v1.1.xml
Modified Posbit attachment template

added mp3 extensiion
upped the file size to mp3 - 14.35 MB
The file I tried to upload is only 6mb

anyone have a clue?? LOL

after doing a little investigating I found this PHP Maximum Upload Size 2.00 MB on my main admincp
I believe this is where my problem lies
anyone know how to change this?

The php maximum upload size is controlled in your php.ini so your server admin or host will have to update it for you.

Well I get an MSQL database error and I can not see what there my browser is also crashing.

Can it be that my MSQL packet is too small?

1.00 MB packet size?

I've inserted your code in
postbit_attachment, added new extensions in Attachments Manager, increase Max Filesize but I still can't upload file in Manage Attachments.

Can you tell me how to solve this error?

Thanks in advanced.

I wouldnt recommend using mysql storage for attachments esp when using this hack since this hack has a tendancy to deal with larger attachments, also everybody you also need to factor in your php max upload size becuase no matter what vb is set at if the php max upload size is less then the size of your file your file wont be uploaded.

PHP Max Post Size : 8.00 MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size : 2.00 MB
My MP3 file : 4.00 MB
Max Filesize for this extension: 20.00 MB

I still can not upload, plz help me!

Installed how ever if u can supply bottons for them would be great and also my attachment now is so wide, when pops up for uploads

yes me too large size i get error but small file works fine

I got this hack to install and work for uploads, however, when I attempt to play the inline WMV file, nothing happens. The Media Player is displayed, with controls, yet when play is hit....nothing.

Any ideas?

It is also fouling up the post display (signature outside of the postbit)

Clicked UNINSTALL .... never mind

Hello

Thanks for this mod, i was looking for such on.
I did the installation easily, but the real player files not played

Any suggestions?

Regards

Installed and clicked install. Works perfect so far :) It would be nice if it could be turned on or off based on the forum or if the user had the ability to choose if they want to display inline or as attachment.
