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]

...what am i suppose to remove so there's no title, boarder, etc. only the actual video player. i would like to remove everything except only have the player in posts and also NOT centered

I can't get this to work for new Videos..

I have uninstalled FULLY old version, installed, rebuilt and the old url's work fine but if anyone posts a new youtube url it doesn't work.

Checked usergroup and forum permissions and all is fine there..

Am I doing anything wrong, I'm eager to get this working as I will upgrade to the full version then!

EDIT: I have found the source of the problem and it's a conflict with how vBSEO handles urls, if you re-edit the url and take out the stuff vbSEO puts in it works fine..

Is there a fix for this? or i'll have to go back to original version.

Any issues with vBulletin 3.7.3 & vBSEO 3.2.0?

[thestaton]

Mine has stopped working, and it looks like it's because of a VBSEO problem... I might have to go back to the original

remember to add &fmt=6 at the end of the url (see in red)


can High Quality format 6 and 18 be included ?

ill have to look further into this issue, my boards are running 3.7.X and VBSEO 3.2.0

I've followed the instructions, rebuilt forum info etc. Any ideas?

Here's the source of the problem: the Yahoo event script conflicts with the object & embed tags for embedding media players in Firefox 2. The problem does not exist in Firefox3 or IE7 - testing on Windows XP. To read more about the bug, see:

Thanks for this great mod - will try out Lite version first before buying - installed and nominated!

[Coders Shack]

ok some of you guys are shocked that some videos are not getting parsed.

just remember this, this is an example of what this mod does (at a basic level):

http://www.site.com/?videoid=3023943

now i need javascript to run a match and find the video id number

can you see why out of the box if the url structure changes in any way it wont match so:

http://www.site.com/index.php?videoid=3023943

wont work unless made to.

So you can see how it can be difficult to support every site right away. This will take time to slowly support them all.

(I'm trying my best @ the moment, just report the exact URLs that wont embed and ill fix them)
