@ 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

I DO NOT know whether I should update the hack.

The admincp in vB 3.6 has all boxes un-checked on installation, on vBulletin 3.5.4 all boxes are already checked correctly, unless you wish to change them and other settings.

If you have other mods, check they aren't conflicting.

Eventhough I've done thorough testing of this hack; Google I cannot get to work. However, most videos on Google are on YouTube.com if you do a search.

sorry for my newbie and my bad english

Just checked your website (bit slow on loading). I noticed you've placed a quite a few posts on the same thread using AnyMedia. Really you should cut this down to around only one per thread, because it will slow down page rendering and excessive sql quiries.

Do you have AnyMedia checked in admincp-> vbulletin options-> AnyMedia BBCode Options -> .wmv checked?

If it's unchecked you will not see .wmv files playing. Note if you're using Firefox you will require a plugin.

[nymyth]

after working with tormento to debug his media player, we finally got it to work. However noticed something strange with wmv files playing inf firefox, but not playing IE....anyone else having this issue???

Peace
