Live Demo:

Passive Video 2.00

Full Version:

Get the full version of Passive Video 2.00 here

Description:

Version 2.00 is a major step up from the older versions.

The main difference in 2.00 is the way it works, before PassiveVideo would make the server do all the work. Now 99% of the work is pushed onto the clients machine.

Another major difference is the amount of control Passive Video gives the Admin and User.

Oh and i almost forgot, the embedding is now done with swfObject 2.0 so now you can globally control settings like wmode and it should work in all browsers now.

Admins can now Enable/Disable videos per forum and per usergroup.

Users can now Enable/Disable video embedding too.

2.00 is a COMPLETE REWRITE!

Works With:

vBulletin [3.6.X to 3.7.2]
vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

I'm sorry if our warnings get lost after a few days. I have tried to make vb.org aware of the problem, but have so far been unable to get much more than a warning that people should read all pages of a mod before installing it. Of course, nobody does.

Thank you for an update. Are there any other mods available that are similar?

at the top of this page, it says "Developer Last Online: Apr 2009"

At this time the only alternative I am aware of is AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs . The only way that author manages to keep it updated is by letting someone else write the definitions so you'll also need DJ's AME (Auto Media Embedding) XML Media Definitions for AME 2.5 (Delta) .

The typist(s) appearing as "Coders Shack" are apparently not the author of this mod. They don't even appear to have a passing familiarity with how it works, which is probably why none of the users questions are ever answered. A darn shame, as I preferred this no-edit approach.

[Dukefrukem]

thank again.

Yep, this mod is highly problematic. The PassiveVid 1.x works better --- i mean it actually works with 3.8.x

wonder if this is true for Live Topic, as well? That Mod wreaks havoc with many other mods.

Please be aware that vB.org is not the place to discuss any commercial versions. Please only discuss the free available version as released in this thread.

[Floris]

If this is a free addon to vBulletin, why do you post the full version details? Isn't just a simple link to spam your commercial site enough? It is misleading that the post has the "specs" of the full version. Kind of makes this CLEARLY just be a 'quick little lite' thing that's totally useless, just trying to get money.

I am sorry, but I am principle about this and can't support it. Decided against installing it, because it feels it's just meant to push users to buy the full version. If you want to advertise your product why not just go to a site and pay for the ad slot?

That's interesting. Why didn't you decide not to install it because it doesn't work? I'm guessing because you didn't read all the pages of posts? Nobody does.

We need a quarantine for non-functioning mods.

I've installed this and it doubles the video.

[mariocaz]

Yes also the double same video in the posts is happen to me.

Help!!
