Video Files not showing / playing

[cassie396]

This only seems to affect IE. I'm relatively new to Coppermine, at least as far as modifying  but the following worked for me. Not sure how this would apply to different themes but open /themes/classic/theme.php If your theme.php is empty copy theme.php from the sample folder to classic.

Find:
Code:

'clsid' => 'classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ',


Replace with:
Code:

'clsid' => 'classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" ',


Find:
Code:

'codebase' => 'codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" ',


Replace with:
Code:

'codebase' => 'codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112" ',

I just upgraded from 1.3.2 to 1.4.9 and my video clips weren't working. I used the solution above and it worked like a charm. I was experiencing the problems in Firefox, too, but I decided to try it anyway... here's a link if you want to see the videos working now: http://www.stephaniegatschet.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=31&pos=2

This is not a support thread, your question is not related to the bug that is being discussed here. Don't expect answers here.

I was having problems with displaying video in IE using 1.49.  Changing the above mentioned clsid and codebase did fix the problem for me as well.  Is this an actual bug or this something that could have been a user error?

bug

[BentApple]

Does this fix only work for the classic theme?  Can I apply it to different themes such as Fiblack3dblue?

[kegobeer]

@BentApple - If you apply the change to include/themes.inc.php all of your themes will work.

[BentApple]

Thanks soooo much!!  I'm really grateful for peoples help here!

Nibbler, got a sample movie I could test with?

[Joachim Müller]

Unlocked thread again to allow devs to reply. Need to look into permissions for this sub-board later. Sorry Sami.

Thank you GauGau ,
I can confirm that new classid and codebase (suggested by thecoalman) are woking fine with IE

I tried the fix in both the theme.php and the include/themes.inc.php and got parse errors with both.  I am using the blackbirch theme.  Any ideas?

[niek]

Thanks, it solved my problem however

I changed it in include/theme.inc.php

And i think you do not need to change the class id:

'clsid' => 'classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ',
to
'clsid' => 'classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" ',

It's and automatic genereated id which is different for everyone. In fact in my php file this CLID was not filled in for the mediaplayer.

I only changed:

'codebase' => 'codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" ',
into this:
'codebase' => 'codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112" ',

And that solved my problems!

(thanks Nibbler for pointing me to this thread)

[wildnsyko]

I tried that and still got an error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/mlgh06/public_html/MEDIA/include/themes.inc.php on line 2376

Any other ideas?

[kegobeer]

This is not a support thread.  wildnskyo, you are making mistakes when you edit the file.  Once you edit the file correctly, those errors will stop.  Re-apply the fixes.

Locking again.

Committed suggested fix to svn.
