Video: Upload and View your video :)

[Laurent42]

I'm looking for a plugin that allows users to easily integrate videos to a post.

The user who want to share his own video send it via an upload form to the local server, and then the video player is automatically displayed on the post.

Does a such plugin exist?

I think the thing your talking about is already built it. When posting, click on the film roll icon.

[Laurent42]

I do not think so.

You can paste an url such google/youtube on the film roll icon.
Or you can upload a file as attachment.

Not what I want ;(

you can always just allow uploads of lets say wmv to your upload/attachment dir, you will have to add the file type in attachments, in the option Mime Type & Headers use

Content-type: mpeg

they will just have to click the link and play the video in media player as the pic shows, to cause it to auto play using a certain player or converting them to flash or a lot of other things would take a mod that allows a lot of permissions to a directory on your server. there is a few other things that would allow it to play itself but with wMV the options like not playing the video until you press play is a problem. that's why everyone uses flash

[your24hourstore]

so what you want is they upload a file and hit post and it shows up like a video from youtube ?.. LOL that's not gonna happen. although you can upload a wmv to a folder in your directory , and paste a link to it , it will open and play when the page is called, but it will start playing immediately, the controls are just not in media player as they are in flash, so unless the user is allowed html permissions and knows code and iframe and all the stuff you need to control wmv from outside its programing its just not viable, have you tried jaxels mod 8 way run media?

[Laurent42]

Thanks for your answers. I wanted what you say on your last post
I understand I cannot do what I wanted excepted by developing a mod!
Game over for me ;-)

Thanks for all

unm actually the mod that exists does what you want to some extent. its 8 way run media mod, it does allow the use of uploading wmv and playing it but I have not used it in so long I don't know whats going on with that mod. but it did with some work allow that option, for the admin at least

Youtube has this API call "Direct". Allowing users to upload video directly from your site. I have been wanting to use this but the coding part is just too much for me to handle.

It doesn't allow you to upload video, only embed it.

if all you want is to allow your users to upload .mp4 format videos to the server/database, then you could have them attach videos to a post and view it from there....

firstly you will need to use a custom video player like a regular html5 <video> tag or jwplayer (just any ppapi video player that will play mp4's should work.... not a npapi video player like divx though as those are now considered not secure by most modern browsers...i.e. depreciated).

secondly (if you havent already done this) you will need to allow mp4 files to be uploaded as an attachment, by going to "AdminCp>Attachments>Attachment Manager" submenu ... click "add a new extension", then add these values to the corrisponding fields:
Extension = "mp4"
Max File-size (in bytes) = "9999999999"
Mime Type & Headers = "Content-Type: video/mp4"
then Save

now thirdly (and lastly) inside of "AdminCp>Styles & Templates>Style manager" find the master/parent style (or just go through each individual template) and select "Edit Template" in the drop down then click "go", now on the displayed list of templates find "Postbit Templates (double click it) > postbit_attachment (then double click it to 'edit' the templates code)" and type this below the line that ends with "</li>":

For html5 video tag:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<vb:if condition="$attachment[attachmentextension] == mp4">
<video width="620" height="540" controls>
  <source src="attachment.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}attachmentid={vb:raw attachment.attachmentid}&amp;d={vb:raw attachment.dateline}" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="attachment.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}attachmentid={vb:raw attachment.attachmentid}&amp;d={vb:raw attachment.dateline}" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</vb:if>
</vb:if> 
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<a href="/register.php">Register for free</a> today to download files or play them directly in our embedded media player
</vb:if>
</center>

For JWplayer:

<script src="https://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/[jwplayer_api_key].js"></script> 
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<vb:if condition="$attachment[attachmentextension] == mp4">
<div id="container{vb:raw attachment.attachmentid}"></div>
  <script>
    jwplayer("container{vb:raw attachment.attachmentid}").setup({
      file: "attachment.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}attachmentid={vb:raw attachment.attachmentid}&amp;d={vb:raw attachment.dateline}"
    });
  </script>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">

</vb:if>
</center>

you can do the same thing with mp3s too but using an audio mp3 player instead (like the html5 audio tag or wimpy player)... its a bit of a hacked up way of doing it but i hope that helped anyway ... it works well for me and I'm using vbulletin 4.2.4 ... it may even work for vbulletin 5 not sure
