Playing Attached Media Files Inline · **Released**: 09-15-2006

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.

Attachment Content Types:

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.

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.

Ooo...one more thing...can it be modded to autostart media files?

cfspinner · #43 01-12-2007, 10:42 PM

Getting complaints that file won't play. You say have to grant view attachment permissions to guests...I don't see where.

cfspinner · #44 01-13-2007, 11:11 AM

Finding that if the media file is cached on my computer, it plays fine. I delete my cache, and the media file will not play. Download the file and play it to get it cached, then go back to the site and hit play and it plays fine. Something is definitely wrong. Also if you happen to scroll while the media file is playing, the video doesn't scroll with the player, it stays in its original position for a second, then moves back into the player.

It is OK with me. Thanks for converting this hack to new system. I was out of the country on a business trip

I'm really liking this idea\hack but have just 1 question before install.
I see no screens of the AdminCP layout and want to know if this can be set up in just 1 specific forum?, instead of accross the board.
The reason being I'm wanting to create a "video how to" section for my users to post vids in.
