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.

Upload the included XML as product.

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.

Can you have your profile update to correct site. I try to go to your site without any luck

nubian · #**114** 11-21-2005, 03:12 AM

question ?

i'm very new to 3.5.1 but have experience with 3.0.8.
is this hack where you physically upload files like mpegs, swf's. etc up into your server or do you have the ability to reference your media files from another server where these media files reside?

fiber_cut · #**115** 11-21-2005, 04:38 AM

I installed the xml plugin/product and added the ext type and I dont get anyting other than a regular attatchment add..

My board has a 30 meg upload limit

I am using 3.5.1

I added the extensions using the following -
Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv
Content-type: audio/x-mp3
Content-type: video/mpeg
Content-type: video/mpeg

I have never had the prior hack installed, This is a fresh install.

If you want to see the site in question it is www.bowlingballexchange.com

Any idea's?

This is the one that let's you upload and use vb attachment system to play your files inline. It requires correct user's permissions

The ability to upload and download attachment is based on usergroup permission. You can find it under usergroup settings
