and it'll NOT autostart.

@ Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------
Q: I got white screen when playing a google video.
A: AnyMedia fetch the correct video url, but there's sth wrong with the flvplayer.swf, try to refresh the page to solve it.

Q: When using mp3player.swf to play mp3, it's played fast/slowly.
A: Flash doesn't support vbr (variable bit rate) mp3 files.It only support a mp3 with a fixed bitrate of 64/96/128 kbps ,a sample frequency of 22.05kHz and joint stereo. To solve it, turn the option off in admincp to make it be played by WMP.

Q: I have to click play button twice to play a google video.
A: Emmm... Even using the google player, you also have to click twice. I don't know why, and I'm trying to fixed it. If you know, just tell me.

Q: The supported extensions checkbox are always unchecked even if I check them all.
A: The permission cache is not updated. Overwrite the 'includes/xml/bitfield_anymedia.xml' file, and log into your admincp to visit 'admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields' to rebuild the permission cache.

Q: When I use build-in player to play Youtube, it will be loading all the time.
A: To use the build-in player to play Youtube videos, your server have to enable the 'allow_url_fopen' option, or enable the 'fsockopen / curl_init' functions. If failed, turn the 'Use AnyMedia Player for Youtube Video' option off in admincp.

Q: I cannot get the PPLive working with my Firefox or etc.
A: As far as I know, the pplive object can only work with IE. And if you know how to embed it on FireFox, just tell me.

@ Todo

1. Add a Playlist.
2. Integrate it with CMPS, Link & Download Sys, and etc.
3. read ID3 tag.

@ Notes

If you like the hack, Please click .

I DO NOT know whether I should update the hack.
I'm not a coder of vBulletin-Chinese Team now, as I left there weeks ago.
Sorry about this, and I'll tell you how the update's going if it's really on the way.

I commend you on a fantastic mod, Crist.

I've noticed one glitch in the behavior of with width and height. Sometimes the video displays a 5x5px and the rest of the screen is white. Sometimes pressing refresh or going out of the thread and coming back in resolves the issue. This behavior occurs when the files are untouched.

I've adjusted some of the scripts in the .js and .xml files as well as the Anymedia template to force a 4:3 ratio for video. I did that to see if it resolved the display issue but to no avail. I'll keep testing the scripts to see why this is occuring. Any ideas are appreciated. I'll post back on my progress.

*Clicked install*

[TosaInu]

I installed the new version 2.2.0. But it still has the same problem as 2.1.0: wmv files display using firefox, but the play buttons are greyed out (can't be used and can't play) in I.E. 6.0

Anyone else got the problem or is it just my I.E. being wrong?

[How to upgrade]
1.upload the files in uploads dir.
files upgraded:
-clientscript\anymedia.js
-players\flvplayer.swf

2.re-import the product xml file.

3.check the new option in your admincp,
it's named :[Play Google Videos through the proxy]
If google banned your ip, just turn it on.

I've tested videos from google/youtube/vsocial, and all passed.See the snaps in the first post.

thanks.

hmm to me works fine all with firefox.
I got some problems with IE6. Try to Load a IE page containing youtube movie, When the movie is loaded and player display "Click here to start" then, reload (F5) the IE page. I guess some cookies troubles, but wont be anymore visible, u need to close the IE page, to see it again.


take care

hello there
very good job with the extension so far.. i hav few queries..
1. does it load the video file along with page, as it takes for ever for me load a page with an avi file on (does it stream or downlaod to local system?).
2. is it possilbe to make an option for popup window for playing video, instead of on the actual page (saves the load time?)

[TosaInu]

Firefox works and IE is the naughty boy.

[ang2el]

I installed everything as instructed by nothing is seen just code is seen like
[media]site[/media]

Help please

[RsX]

Did you upload the product and all the files?

P.S. I would really like to see an option to have the default resolution of the video itself display, as opposed to having it set by the admin. It causes quality problems and sometimes aspect ration problems.

[RsX]

P.S.

On firefox, google doenst work - Tested with:
[MEDIA]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2024901212287267350[/MEDIA]


On IE (IE 6 and 7 at least), youtube AND vsocial dont work - Tested with:
[MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzk_m9tILx0[/MEDIA]
[MEDIA]http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=18244[/MEDIA]

I tested both on 4 different computers
