Show Thread Enhancements - Playing Attached Media Files Inline

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.

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.

Playing inline attachments under firefox has proven to be problemsome since I noticed firefox does not pass the cookie info in for the inline video playing. So if you want attachments to play inline in firefox you must set it so that guests can view attachements. (I am currently looking for fixes to this if possible)


This is a clean up and rerelease of this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99871

If you have that hack installed just install the product file and you will be good. If you have her one before that then follow her template reverses from that thread.

I tried to contact the author but they havent been on the site in well over a month. Pms and emails were unresponded to. I will remove this hack if the hack author requests.


Whats fixed:

Fixed the problem with attachments being shown multiple times when more then one of the same file type was uploaded in a single post.
Cached all the templates used by this hack.

Log into your adminCP area, scroll doen the left navbar and expand the Attachments menu, you should then see the following:

Attachment Manager
Attachment Permissions
Search
Moderate Attachments
Attachment Statistics
Attachment Storage Type


Click on Attachment Manager

At the bottom of this Click on Add New Extention.

next you need to add the following one at a time with whatever size upload you wish to allow.

New Attachment Content Types:

WMA
WMV
MP3
SWF
AVI
MOV
MP4
MPEG
MPG
RAM
RM
SWC

Hope that helps.

Is there a hack out there that will enable users to link online video files (stored on another server) to their posts and enable others to play them within the post?

This mod works as is?
Do I need to add a media player to my forum?
Also is it possible to let only certain users upload media files?
Is it possible to post a link in a specific forum and let those users who wish to listen be able to listen to it if its obviously operating?

Thanks

I keep getting "Upload of file failed. "

installed : product media inline v1.1.xml
Modified Posbit attachment template

added mp3 extensiion
upped the file size to mp3 - 14.35 MB
The file I tried to upload is only 6mb

anyone have a clue?? LOL

after doing a little investigating I found this PHP Maximum Upload Size 2.00 MB on my main admincp
I believe this is where my problem lies
anyone know how to change this?
