the object is 300px width, 380px height,
it will autostart and will repeat for twice.

[MEDIA=250,150,0,3]http://server/file.flv[/MEDIA]
It will use the flash player to play the file.flv,
the object is 250px width, 150px height,
it'll NOT autostart but will repeat for 3 times.

[MEDIA=400,480,false]http://server/file.swf[/MEDIA]
It will use the flash player to play the file.swf,
the object is 400px width, 480px height,
and it'll NOT autostart.

[MEDIA=421,211]http://server/file.pdf[/MEDIA]
It will post the pdf object on the page,
the object is 421px width, 211px height.

Other Rules:

@ 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
---------------------------------
1. We need other translations, if you made one, just PM me.

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.

Apart from this, Mod works very well, too well, congratulations Crist, a good work and mainly a great support. You are a genius.

You could download it from the official site: www.pplive.com
it's in Chinese,
but the software has a English language pack

[G_Man]

Okay... exposing my ignorance here again.

I do not understand how to use this tag with YouTube or the PPlive thing.

Unless I am the only one not understanding all of this, I think that it might be helpful to include several more examples of usage for this hack.


BTW - I have had this installed for sometime now and love it. Keep up all the great work and you already have my vote for Hack of the Month!!

Cheers,
G_Man

what's the mean by 'produces nothing'?
it just shown the original bbcode?
or with error codes?

if it shown what you post (such as [media]xxx[/media]),
i think you should visit 'admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields' to rebuild the permission cache.
