Problem I forsee, is the page load speed, on a busy forum.

Seems like a great idea, but can only imagine the page speed is going to be sooooo slow... your page took 17 seconds to load, for the mp3 Slightly less for the youtube vid.

The mp3, presumably.. is constructed from either ( hosted or hotlinked files ) which again.. could take for ever to load.

Any stats please?

I have a execution time script on my forums. My forums execute in 0.2 seconds. After just using my mp3 it took it up to 4 seconds. After using Youtube it took it up to 1 second. Sorry, but uninstalled.

This is amazing, easy install also great mod. very unquie.

amazing job!

anyway i've a question: if i've already a custom avatar selected it shows my avatar like a background of the video when this is paused ... right?

also i've found an issue: check the attachment ... only in the first post i've got the video ...

edit: just tried onto another (testing) board ... same issue ...

[princeedward]

thanks....just workin fine to my vb3.6.8. PL2 i wonder if we can add or make this work to
Profile Page Avatar or Profile Picture too...

great...

[iogames]

Wow! amazing... Installed, but got a question, that NEWS STICKER that you have on the demo, where do you get it?

[whitetigergrowl]

My biggest concern which the others have reflected and the coder has said nothing in response to is page load speed. As well as the number of queries being added.

To display only in First Post:

find:

<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(2,5,6,7,9,12,14)) AND $post[field5]">

Change to

<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(2,5,6,7,9,12,14)) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $post[field5]">

[KURTZ]

@dvbusuario: something is changed ... now i got all the avatars, but the video is showed only in the first post like you said .... no i need the video onto all my posts is possible?

thanks ...

Please is there a way of restricting this to members with a minimum post count.

We do not have different usergroups based on post count.

Any suggestions?
