Playing Windows Media Files Inline Using Plugin · **Released**: 11-01-2005

This just an upgrade over from my existing hack HERE
to use plugin system for vb3.5 gold

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.

Demo

If you use this hack please click install.

As christianb mentioned in the other post, you might need to setup attachement types for your forum to play properly.

Use the following for your types

HTML Code:

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
AVI  ?  Content-type: video/x-ms-avi
MOV ?  Content-type: video/quicktime
MP4 ? Content-type: video/quicktime
MPEG ?  Content-type: video/mpeg
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.

Right now my board is under heavy modification and it is not open for demo yet.

Hello,

What are the mime types for the other extensions (mov, mpa, mpeg, mpg, mp4 and real) please ?

Thanks you ^^

I just pull the one from my site and upload it up here. Look for the update template code too.

One thing I encounter is that you have to setup the mime in this format for the player to play properly

Content-type: + mime type

You create the attachment type, upload the product, and test it out with your attachment system.

You don't have to put anything in a post. This product will recognize your attachements file type and play them.

cbr929rrerion,

You are correct. I think MOV is depended on server setup or something. It works on mine, but it doesn't work on yours. :nervous: I put it in there just in case someone need it

rb290 · #99 11-11-2005, 12:33 AM

so you gotta go to the attachments in the admin cp and click add extentions ?

"vc.avi:
Upload of file failed."

uploaded a video and it failed

rb290 · #**100** 11-11-2005, 02:04 AM

ok .wmv works for me but i think thats the only video extention that works

.avi doesnt, i didnt try the other ones but their is only a thumbnail pic for wmv so im guessing thats the only one that works??

P.s. Please Make This Work For Firefox Somehow Thanks
