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]

Passive Video Lite Supported Video Sites:

1. YouTube v2.00

This mod is not working properly. It hasn't worked properly since the day it was last updated. There is no support here or at their own website. Do not buy it. Do not install it. If, like me, you did both, then uninstall it and learn a lesson and move on.

Great mod, using it since ver 1.1.2, and now the Lite and also the paid 2.0 but... no news about the widescreen Youtube videos?

Another question: how do you post a link to a video? (without embedding it, of course)
Thanks!

I have tracked down the only instance of youtube.com to this array:

$passivevideo_sites = array(
        array ( // google
            'd' => 'video.google',
            'm' => 'http://video.google.(?:[a-z]{2,3}|co.uk)/videoplay\?docid=([0-9_-]+)',
            'e' => 0
        ),
        array ( // yahoo
            'd' => 'video.yahoo.com',
            'm' => 'http://video.yahoo.com/watch/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)',
            'e' => 0
        ),
        array ( // youtube
            'd' => 'youtube.com',
            'm' => 'http://(?:[a-z]{2,3}.)?youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
            'e' => 0
        )
    );

inside functions_passivevideo.php

So it appears that the video must be in the

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StNMmOd4d9E

But what I really need is the word watch to be optional..
http://youtube.com/?v=StNMmOd4d9E

I tried changing the code to:
http://(?:[a-z]{2,3}.)?youtube.com/(watch)?\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})[/CODE]



Now it seems that

http://youtube.com/?v=StNMmOd4d9E

Does not show up at all as the text portion of the url is missing.
So I wonder how I would add watch if it did not exist? is this possible in RegEx?

Wondered if you could add support for vholdr?

Thank Mick... I know your site (from vaultwiki) I'm the one with the lamp site... I just installed AME on a clean board (because passive vid encountered this problem) and I get the ....

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself LINK and not the video... I have tried 30 videos, none of them are restricted for linking to and all settings are correct.

I'd really like my passive vid or ame to work, any tips?

[mgcom]

very smart thanks a lot

[chick]

Mick I found the solution for AME,,, but now I need to fix the sudden youtube code issue in Passive Video Premium. I note that you think the issues is here?

array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://(?:[a-z]{2,3}.)?youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0
)

I'll bet Ted may know over at Cracked Egg?
++++++++
Why wouldn't changing this to, lets say?

array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0
)


or

array ( // youtube
'd' => 'youtube.com',
'm' => 'http://{param}youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-z0-9_-]{11})',
'e' => 0
)

No?

What is this called anyway, a definition?

AME appears to use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\1

Not yet from what I can see, but it's strange why it just stopped working for everyone... YouTube hasn't seem to have changed their links right? And do their videos embed properly without the plugin (Ex. using their Embed code on a static site)?
