Coppermine should also allow Video

[symantix]

Great mod guys. I 2nd that notion to get a thumbnail taken of the initial vid shot.

It doesn't have to be that difficult.  You could just mod the code so that you could substitute the thumbnail for a thumb that you've created yourself, whether it be a still of a frame in the video or whatever.

[jeeplaw]

Interesting thought there, but would coding it to have the program create a thumb of the first frame for each vid be just as convenient? I don't know, just a though. Because I may be looking at having a gallery of over 100 vids..might get a little cumbersome to make thumbs for each one, but it would be doable.

Also, right now the gallery is streaming the vid, is there an option to implement a save feature so people can save these videos as well?

I installed using the update zip package. But now I cannot connect to my coppermine gallery. Get this error

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

I'm lost   :?

I have coppermine integrated with phpBB2 bulletin board...is that the hangup...duh...guess it is...have to edit the init.inc file again...going to try that

It says nothing....hmmm...got it running as a fresh intsall on my test site (have trouble with .wmv files...some will upload but not play, others will not load)...love it...just need to get it working on my regular site.

edit: working now did update/full install 1.2.1 works now! Thanks

I too have the issue of no thumnail in the user gallery section. The "mpeg" thumbnail shows up in the random section though  :?

Does anyone know of a reason why this mod , the full install zip , would not work on a "standard" slackware 'out of the box' install?

I have tried to get this mod working many times. I have a clean slackware box now with a fresh install of the full mod. I have two avi's I am testing with. One is about 3 meg the other about 15. Both are 320x240 .

I am able to upload photos fine, but when I try videos , entering the title, description, etc... and the size values , I always get an error. The first error, which is always associated with the smaller avi file is this:

No picture was uploaded !

If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads...

File: /var/www/htdocs/Test/cpg1.2.1_video/db_input.php - Line: 197



The error I always get with the larger of the two files is this:

Script called without the required parameter(s).

File: /var/www/htdocs/Test/cpg1.2.1_video/db_input.php - Line: 39


The smaller of the two files takes almost no time to give an error, the larger file seems like its uploading , gets about 1/2 done then gives the error.

Is there a php setting that is messing it up? Mysql? I can upload photos just fine. Could it be a problem with the video format? I just don't understand as everyone seems to have it working without a hitch.


--- edit ---
I have also tried the Hack on a working install and got the same errors.

Be sure to check the upload config in php.ini.  Also take a look at this thread:

[intranet]

Many thanks Hyperion , the php.ini settings did it!

[ludedude]

I have some users that are getting videos that are not filling the screen...
You can see what I mean here:

I can't try the mov types..I don't have quicktime at work, and I can't view any at home on dial-up....freezes IE.... :cry:

[ludedude]

Is this most likely due on their end? Need updated plugins?

[WreckRman2]

Well done... nice hack!

Everything works great for me except AVI's and MPEG movies don't play in the browser. Any idea?

Here is an example:

AVI: http://www.rcflying.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-1210
MPEG: http://www.rcflying.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-1212

WMV's work great...

WMV: http://www.rcflying.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-1282

[ludedude]

WreckRman2 I think it's browser related....I can watch different formats from work than I can from home....others have issuses with formats I do not...this is all within my site...

See I can't view the wmv from work...
The mpeg works fine
the AVI loads and plays(scroll bar moves) but it doesn't change from the media logo

[WreckRman2]

Weird... oh well. Good hack... any word on the thumbnails yet?

[omniscientdeveloper]

If there's a problem with the video not filling the video size not being correct, you'll have to set the video size manually in the editpics section. This usually only happens with quicktime (MOV) videos.

[ludedude]

I'm still having troubles with this...

A member uoloaded videos tonight .wmv format..I can't view them...but if I download them via ftp from the server I can view them....so it's not a matter of plugins...right?

Video size is correct....they just load and then stay on the Mindows Media logo... :cry:

I currently use IDS (http://ids.sourceforge.net) for my galleries. It is a perl script and will do thumbnails for image files, and display icons for other file types (any files, you set it in the configuration) so I can have my mpegs and so on in the gallery, even though they don't have a thumbnail, just an icon. This functionality is very important to me... is there a way to get Coppermine to do this? Or is there another php gallery that will do it?

[Casper]

Hi opalcat,

there is a mod available for that now, and it is a standard feature in the next release, if you can wait.

Look in the stickies in the mod forum if you want to do it now.

[OpalCat]

Great! Thanks

[bulldozer]

Yes, I have coppermine doing this with same thumbnail image for each video regardless of what is on video.

I'm trying to find way of having individual thumb pics for each video, but haven't found way yet. I made movie thumbs and then upload them and name them thumb_moviename.jpg but nothing yet. Anyone got a hack for something like this?
