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.

Did you have a source code modification version? I disable the plug in and it works.

I think you should use file system for attachment.

cbr929rrerion · #23 11-03-2005, 10:42 AM

wow.. I woke up this morning to working media..

Thank you so much.. that rocks.. I appreciate all your help..

I do have 1 request and 1 concern..

1) How can I make it not auto start.

2) If you click the link under the video as to download it, if gives you a bunch of gibberish code...

again thanks for all you have done...

cbr929rrerion · #24 11-03-2005, 11:16 AM

well I tried to upload and avi file and all it gave me was the link, it did not play inline, all i do is type my message, click manage attachements, upload it and press submit..

do I have to do anything special to get it to play inline?

Can you try to upload 1 of each file type and see if it works and also check the link code at the bottom... it says the file name but when ya click it ya get gibberish...

davidw · #25 11-03-2005, 12:07 PM

I have the file system for attachments (as opposed to database) - I had removed all entries (or commented out, I should say) in the file edits regarding the previous version.

I'll have some time in a little bit to check it out again.

When it gives gibberish, it means that it try to use browser to open the file data stream. I have test out the avi on my board.

The avi was added for the 0 file edit version. To be able to play this avi, open includes/class_postbit

Look for Case 'wmv':

and add case 'avi':

under that one.

BTW: You should move your attachements to file system. Uploading and storing media files on your database will cause stress on your db.

To stop the auto playing, look for autostart = 1 under each attachment template and put it equals 0

Hi Christianb,

Did you do any mod to class_postbit, other than this hack? If you you didn't, then the easiest way is the replace this file with the file from your download package from vbulletin.

davidw · #28 11-03-2005, 04:27 PM

I posted a reply after you tested.
This morning I had replaced the files with my original (before I used the other inline hack) and tried from fresh using this hack (no file edit) - I'll have to check (go through my installs) and see if any I have used incorporated this file.

cbr929rrerion · #29 11-03-2005, 05:26 PM
